What Renters Like and Dislike About Glen Ridge

Close to stores ,schools,and busses.i like going to starbucks.we go to park.we go to dad's.there is a McDonald's,subway,and pizza place too.

DD's discount is near and food co which is really great and easy to be accessible. Everything other that an its okay.

What's unique about my neighborhood is there's tons of shopping areas around us what they literally walk away grocery

There is not much to like about the neighborhood. It is merely okay as long as others mind their own business and I mind my own.

close to shopping center and nice people around in the neighbourhood not too far away to drive to big city for shopping and entertaining

My neighborhood is unique because everyone talks to you. It is close to shopping and parks. Great area to walk and get coffee.
