What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Canton

This is a safe neighborhood. Close to downtown Mexican restaurant. Prefer to take the kids to school.

I like living in my neighborhood because it's a drop shot as in walking distance to the most important places

The mall is only 5 miles away but crooks sit tn the parking lot and when they see a person with shopping bags they rob them.

I believe what makes our neighborhood unique are the relationships that have formed between neighbors.

My thing is that I can do everything I want here in the safe way. People are friendly and we also have many good restaurants.

I like my neighborhood because it is small and quiet. The neighbors all look out for each other and watch out for unsafe things.
