What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Mount Vernon

I like that there a multiple grocery stores within walking distance. My neighborhood, although in the city, allows me to own a home with a driveway for my car so that I don't have to park on the street.

I like the food in my neighborhood. My neighborhood is lively and not boring it's always something to do

There isn't really anything I like about here. I just happened to grow up and live here for most of my life. I guess I like the familiarity of the place, but there isn't really anything specific past that.

Friendly neighbors, stores nearby, easily accessible transportation and a shopping area close by. There's nothing unique about my neighborhood

the unique about my neighborhood is that they are mental.Favorite local businesses cafe shop.I both like my family and friends for going any place.

the sounds a quiet. And animals would be the answer to that question and reason why there are also shops and local essential stores
