What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Hackettstown

We have a cute downtown area with restaurants, shops, and events. There are a lot of small business to support.

It is fairly affordable to buy a house here. Neighbors are nice and friendly. I can have space for my pets here.

the neighborhood is close to Main Street which is where all the local businesses are. you can walk to any of them on any given day since it's less than a mile walk to the furthest business from the neighborhood. you can walk in the neighborhood since it's not a high traffic area, but if you don't want to, there's nearby parks that you can walk to or it's a quick 3 to 5 minute drive. for the safety of citizens, the neighborhood is closely to all of the bars so it's very easy to walk home safely.

family atmosphere, great school district, beautiful views. Although our homes are close to one another no one is in each others business. Very diverse population of cultures and ethinicities which I think is fantastic.

I feel safe. There is a local hospital nearby. Neignbors always willing to help. Schools nearby. Small deli on corner. to help if needed.

it's safe the homes are well maintianed and it's convenient for what i need to do I am close to major highways so travel is fast and effiecient if you have a car
