What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Columbus

Some architecture is really beautiful, access to a lot nearby parks, the families that live by who have been living nearby for generations.

My neighborhood is in a college town so there are always lots of house parties going on. There are a ton of bars and restaurants nearby & they are always busy, especially on the weekends. I enjoy going out to bars with friends.

Corner store close. The owner is friendly and cares about his customers.nothing unique. Papa John's. In the house.

Family friendly, there are shops and coffee shops close by. the neighbor is safe to walk in.neighbors are friendly

There's an airport nearby. The kids can play outside in the open space. It is usually pretty peaceful

1 thing is it is very safe. Another thing is that it's quiet. And another is it feels like a community.
