What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Evansville

I like to live neighborhood near the city center because the transportation is very convenient.I can go shopping with my family and children in nearby shopping malls and go to clothing stores to buy beautiful clothes.

It had lots of churches. It has a lot of different houses. The structures are different. Lots of people walk.

I like that it's a safe neighborhood and that it's close to several restaurants and stores that one can visit for necessities a few niche stores to visit.

Quite neighborhood with neighbors caring for each other. Neighbors get together to decide on neighborhoods problems and the best way to handle them.

it's located on the outskirts of town with easy access to roads. I can't think of anything at this time other maybe lower housing costs. some more street lighting would be good

Safety and wonderful neighbors. Neighbors are will to watch home when on vacation. Neighbors will even see to it that any packages delivered will be safe as they secure then in their homes
