What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Greensboro

It's a quiet place to live. It's close to shopping. It's safe and there is little crime. Houses and yards are well maintained.

I like the general aesthetic. It's near parks. And it's near local business. As well as close to everything.

What I like the most about living in this neighborhood is that it's close to a variety of grocery stores, restaurants, parks, activities. It is also near a busy street and highway. So there are a lot of things to do nearby

I like the neighborhood residents. I like the HOA. They stay on top of the maintenance. The gardeners do an excellent job every week. The board of directors addresses all issues.

Conveniently near grocery stores, Walmart, schools, and not far from downtown. Near Dollar Tree, my favorite discount storeand

There's stores you easily walk to. But other than that I don't know what else I can say for it. I don't know.
