What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Farwell

There is nothing at all. There are no restaurants close by, nor bars or anything. My friends and I have to go outside out of town to find anything notable for us to do, like Downtow.

Favorite local business is the Cuban sandwich shop that's nice thing about Tampa there's a lot of different unique restaurants

Some local shops and restaurants and diners make the areas particularly unique there's a mall nearby a transit center nearby a hospital nearby and a college nearby those are many bonuses of this area

I like the bar near the community. I can go there to relax after work every day. It's really pleasant

The night life /busy life. You can walk to stores , restaurants and everything. I like going out to eat with my spouse and kids in the local area

How close is the corner store is? And cheap. The store is very cheap and walking distance. Also, the bus routes are really close to.
