What Renters Like and Dislike About Brockton

Is unique the variety of people from different places,favorite bussines is market basket and i like to go to the lake park and ride my bike

close to everything you need close to major highway like to go to beaches with family and friends my favorite local is westgate bowling ally

It's a nice and quiet neighborhood. Some restaurants and shopping nearby, hut not close enough to be annoying.

I like that there is everything you need here within 1 mile that you need I'm trying to but one thing is there's no parks nearby and I wish there was a park to enjoy

We have pond meadow park which I spend a lot of time it's a beautiful serene place that I walk my dog daily

I have a very quiet neighborhood and there is a bar and shopping places down the street with a Dunkin' Donuts also
