What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About East Meadow

local stores have been here for along time and have been taken over by the children after the parents retire

It is a nice area, with little to no crime. I like taking walks in my neighborhood during the summertime. The parks are good for playing sports outside.

It has become the united nations and everyone is very friendly. I don't go to many public places since Covid 19 and people are not wearing masks.

What's unique about my neighborhood is I have a lot of stores that other neighborhoods don't have. Such as Walmart, and many malls nearby. I love that the mall is only a 10-15 min drive and it's really close. I can take side streets to the mall If I want to. Some of my favorite restaurants are Green Turtle and Friday's.

The schools are very good and my neighbors are friendly. Also you can go out by yourself with no fear and go to the park. I live near a lot of local businesses and a school with a playground so thats nice

I have been living here for 53 years and have raised my 5 children here. They all have gone through the school system and have now become very respected citizens,
