What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Clayton

The scenery around here is great, is you can look past the part of town we're in. Unfortunately most all three people that reside here have ruined it, and I literally do not go out unless I absolutely have to.

I love the friendliness of all residents. I love that I feel safe. I love that I'm surrounded by people on all sides

It's close to stores and buses. The price was right for a fixer upper 5 years ago. And the house itself is well lit, spacious for 2 people, with a huge basement.

It's easy to get around whether walking waiting for the bus. There are several places to walk to to get food, and snacks, and marijuana. One of our favorite dispos is in this neighborhood, just around the corner and it makes it easy to get pot.

I like that noddle restaurant in the corner. I really like that fountain in park. the community is close to shopping mall.
