What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Matthews

The rent is cheap, I like my particular location for apartments. I like that I'm close to major highways.

Lush, beautiful landscaping with small pond with fountain. Sidewalks throughout most of the neighborhood. Grocery store and drug stores are within walking distance. Tons of shopping and restaurants within 10 minutes drive. CharBar7 is one of my fav restaurants. Two small, quaint, clean towns are within 3 - 5 miles from my neighborhood. A large city (Charlotte, NC is within a 20 minute drive.

It's a cute town nearby are a few big plazas where they have grocery stores and retail shops but there is also the main part of town where they have cute shops, great bars, and restaurants.

there is really nothing to improve ... the collaboration of the children is always more than enough for all
