What Renters Like and Dislike About Salem

I have a very nice view of park from my apartment. There is a community center in walking distance. It is very quiet. Restraunts and dollar store as well as some convenint store are within walking distance.

Its a quiet area where we can take walks ride bikes or just sit outside. Its a short walk to parks and library.

It is quiet. People mind there own business. There is a lot of nature and farms around, there are biking trails not too far away
