What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Fall River

I love that there are parks within ten minutes of walking . Also restaurants everywhere . I live in close proximity to everything I would need regularly for my family.

I live in the historical section of the city! Many of the residences are history mansion type buildings with different unique architectural designs

What's unique about my neighborhood is that they got a crackhead next-door but his rent is like $2500 down the street is a Catholic school next to a strip club and then the most unique is thing is the stealing packages but like I said I'm ready

I like that there is a park behind my home that I enjoy walking through on warm days. I like that I can walk downtown to the city hall in about only 15 minutes. There is a train station near by to travel from.

I like to go to the cinema with my family and friends. I also like the bar nearby. The community police here is very good and I feel very safe.

The local food choices can't be found anywhere else. The blend of old and new architecture in both homes and businesses.
