What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Adelphi

I like going on hikes in this area. It is many shops to frequent around here. It is safe and I feel welcome heree

I love that there are stores in a very walkable distance from me. There is even a convenience store 2 floors below my apartment.

Very concerned and watchful neighbors. Multicultural and no obvious prejudices. People just want to get along and live their lives.

What I like about the neighborhood I live is that it's familiar. The neighbors I've come to know have made living in this neighborhood tolerable.
