What Renters Like and Dislike About New Buffalo

It has a lot of old, retired army vets in it. There isn't a lot of restaurants within walking distance but the drive would be maybe 10-15 minutes without traffic. I love that Walmart , Publix, and DG are close by to give me a variety of options to choose from in case I am looking for a specific item. I like to go out to eat, go to the mall, do fun physical activities, etc

We are predominately black and we like it like that. Everyone is similiar ages a d backgrounds and we always watch each others kids

We live in the country all our neighbors own land we are spread out not close to each other nothing much ever happens here there is a corn field across the road

I love being around the people. They are very very nice and I can easily walk over their house if I wanted too.

I like that it is close to stores and places to eat yet far enough away to feel relaxed. It is extremely family friendly.

Our neighbors are very freindly. We are a short distance to shops and stores. My family is a short trip tl visit.
