What Renters Like and Dislike About La Porte

It is out in the country and nice and quiet. The little neighbor hood is great for the kids to ride their bikes.

Historic homes are well maintained and close to businesses of all kinds. Schools, churches and library are close.

I like that it is quiet. I like to he atmosphere. I like that it is family friendly. I feel like I can raise my kids here with no adverse happenings.

I like living in my neighborhood because it is close to town. I have access to medical clinics, stores, eating places, and more. I like most of the neighbors. They are friendly and easy to get along with.

Open space with parks and opportunities for outdoor recreation, good restaurants- nice to go out to a good restaurant or for a walk n the park

I like going to the park with friends. I like to walk around the track to exercise. I also like to eat at the restaurant near our neighborhood.
