What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Farmington

There are restraunts within walking distance and parks. I like going to the lake with family and friends

There's fast food restaurants near by walking distance and convenient stores stores and that's probably about it

It's quite. People help if you need help. Not to far from town. Good restaurants not to far. A few bars if you drink.

It's rural but has natural gas. It's close to town and schools. Very good restaurants close by. Most of the neighbors adore very friendly and kids can play safely.

I like that my neighborhood is quiet and safe. It is within walking distance of most grocery and retail locations.

The biggest perk is definitely being close to the very best schools in town. We're close to good parks, grocery stores, churches, etc. You can go on long walks without being afraid of traffic.
