What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Pocatello

There is a public park very close. The neighbors all know each other.Itclose to schools. It is a pet friendly neighborhood.

The neighborhood has a very large Park and Amphitheater nearby. There's also a small pond for fishing that is stocked regularly with trout

Walking distance to downtown. Quiet and friendly, well established neighborhood. Easy going neighbors.

We are a tight knit neighborhood where most of us know (or know of) each other. We live close to the convenient store, and a grocery store. There is a park with tennis courts and a playground nearby. We also have a black track and river that is nice to walk during during the summer.

I like going to the park and the school track and football field and the joggers paths around the town

Its quiet and nice. All the people are close and look out for each other while staying in their own lane.
