What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Takoma Park

Gentrification, multi diverse. I like visiting Bridgeport Inn, and all the diverse options of ethnic foods. I like taking visiting family to the IPA Bars and many of the

Murals are popular. Trendy restuarnts would be great if crime wasnt an issue. We get alot of people from projects across and creates unruly behavior

The neighborhood is a safe place to live in, everyone living on the street are good neighbors, and they would help each other out when needed.

I like to go to the nearby restaurants. It's the place to go for afternoon tea in a nice environment and away from the noise

There are three things I love about my neighborhood and they are, my neighbors the houses and then the yards

Everyone is old and keeps to their selfs and fish so until I qualify for Medicare or pick a rod there's not much to do
