What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Rockville

The houses in my neighborhood are built around a man made lake. It's a 20 min walk to the local downtown, and there are tons of restaurants. There are also shops, community centers for art and science.

My favorite is the natural park close my home. I would go to the river with my family to do a picnic and stay playing game together. Also, I love to camping in the park and stay there overnight.

Nothing at all. It's simple, plan, & basic. Nothing special about it. Just somewhere to live at you know.

What is unique is that: we have a metro within walking distance. Our houses also have space for 2 cars in the driveway. So transportation is very accessible Our favorite local business is the restaurant founding farmers ". I like going to the movie theater with family and friends

Quiet some times and I also think they should gace a gym to work out in. I also think they should have a sign for handicaps parking because its hard to see them at night and can easyly get a ticket

The neighborhood is adjacent to a major highway, to a main thoroughfare, and within 1 mile from multiple shopping centers and Metro. Getting from West End of Rockville to DC can take as little as 20-30 minutes depending on traffic, but is a nice respite from craziness of downtown.
