What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Sky Lake

I enjoy that the neighborhood is small. I also enjoy that there are parks local. I like that we know our neighbors and we all can look out for each other.

There is an elementary school really close so I feel safe for my kids that they dont have to walk such long distances.

There is a good restaurant on the edge of our neighborhood. We often go to the restaurant on weekends, and there are many delicious food
