What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Joliet

As mentioned as n this REPETITIVE survey, good neighbors are nearby. There is also a park. There are also good sidewalks for taking a walk.

It feels away from city. Great nearby local pizza. Close to a few parksandother open areas. Not far from supermarket or regular stores. Pharmacy nearby as well

There is nothing real unique. Noting stands out to me as unique. We have several schools nearby. I did not grow up here but close by is the Jr High I a ttended.

There is a lot of good restaurants in my neighborhood. There is also some very nice people that will help if needed.

Near by school and convenient store and bar plus a liquor store and two restaurants it's so lowkey. Transportation isn't so bad. It's all well water neighborhood.

kid friendly, lots of local business and downtown district 5 min away. Its safe to go out and walk your dog at night
