What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Boone

I like my neighborhood because it's quite can go walking to the store 5 min from the school and friendly neighbor

It's unique because I live up in a tall mountain. My favorite place is Starbucks. I like going hiking with friends.

Most places are easy to get to by walking, grocery stores nearby and have decent selection, wide range of people live here, pet friendly.

The people are all very nice and welcoming, it's a safe and quiet place where families can be raised

My neighborhood is very safe with great neighbors that are willing to help if help needed. There are grocery stores, bars, shops and restaurants within walking distance. Like visiting with friends at home and restaurants.

We live in a Small town in the mtns. The woods and wildlife offer so many adventures for the outdoors enthusiast. We offer small town charm with a big college access.
