What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Jefferson City

I like to go for walks with my kids and dogs. What is unique about my neighborhood is the Army place.

It is established with good neighbor. It is a city with a small town attitude. The restaurants are close by with all types of cuisine.

City with a small town atmosphere. Great unique restaurants. Established residential neighborhood with good neighbors. Madison cafe is my favorite place to eat.

I like that there is a nice market/gas station/diner within walking distance from my neighborhood. I like having gardeners that maintain our yard and an association that arranges and monitors the several large home repairs that have taken place recently. Takes some of the stress off us.
