What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Walled Lake

So quiet and safe so all residents make exercise and walk around without risks. No restaurants nearby walking.Many parks to go

Condo community with one way in and out. Steve & Rocky's restaurant is high class with well known chefs nationally.

The things I like most about my neighborhood are it's proximity to many many different types of things like retail establishments, gas stations, grocery stores and also there are easy access is to a couple major highways within a mile from where I live. There are places like movie theaters and Fitness facilities for entertainment. There's many restaurants in the area and a presence of a police department not far from where I live

I like the location close to the freeway. I like taking walks around the neighborhood as well as walking to the lake.

The park is great. There are plenty of restaurants nearby. There are a lot of trails for walking and bike riding. Neighbors are friendly.

Like to go out to eat and there are alot of places to eat in the area. From fast food to resurants. There a movie theater not far from here that is nice.
