What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Bossier City

they always keep residents involved whether it's parties, food trucks, everything they're amazing and i enjoyed living here and can't really complain about it honestly

Everything is close to me, buses , stores , parks , schools. It's great for the low income families.

this use to be nice place to live has run down been neglected management refuses to keep the propery up or to enforce rules close business is dollar store school horse track I stay home except for occasional necessary trips

There's a big playground across the street from my house with plenty of corner stores around the area

I like to go fishing with my family near the river, eat barbecue and sing. Because there is a small river behind the trees on the community road, which is perfect for family gatherings.

Place i like to go with my family are chicly cheese. Also I like the pizza joint in my neighborhood.
