What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Missoula

Doordash drivers can find my house easily. Rosaurers has the Huckleberry section. . .

Nearby are commercial streets and financial centers,I like my family to go to the nearby shopping mall

Like drive in movies. Like gathering in yard. Like gatherings at park/lake. Nothing unique about neighborhood.

It's centrally located, near shopping and fun things to do. Traffic is low and it's quiet. It close to nature and well maintained.
