What Renters Like and Dislike
What Renters Like and Dislike About Melrose
I like all of the above are near by. All of these stores are in walking distance.This is all very convenient for me.
It is a geographically small city but offers much - good schools, community/worship activities, retail and professional services, etc. to its residents.
Parks nearby for my son. It is a community that looks out for each other. Nice shops downtown where owners have been for years.
I am very happy with the nature reserve near where I live, as there are lots of hiking trails and ponds.
Our street is diverse - we have people from 6 different countries. We have some good restaurants in our town, and we are close to Boston.
I enjoy the parks the lovely restaurants are around the neighborhood as well as the safe streets to walk on
