What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About River Edge

Close to bus stop for public transportation. Close to convince store and some restaurants plus pharmacy near by if I need to get there quickly

In our gated area we had a guard and it is clean and beautifull. Everyone is older and it is a very friendly area

Our 4th Avenue display a lot of fine Mexican restaurants. We are part of old Town and the rent is affordable. I like my neighbors and we look out for each other.

I like going to the mall and stores or going out to eat with family and friends. I also like going to the movies to I think it's fun. Or going to play sports

I am very comfortable living here and am pretty peaceful. I enjoy watching neighbors work on their yards.

There is one restaurant nearby, however that's about the only thing around in my neighborhood in terms of a public place.
