What Renters Like and Dislike About Sylvania

friends barn next door and resturants all over police and fire mile down street bar is all friends an neighbors nice well knit people here

A major park is a short walk. Very little traffic on our street. Wea re a short drive to the beach. Our neighbors are trustworthy.

It's fairly safe and I can easily access most businesses via car. While it is more expensive now, it isn't as bad as much of the surrounding area. Overall it's quiet and works for our needs.

Quiet neighborhood is friendly fast food is near as well as hospital fire and grocery store. Neighbors help each other out when there is adverse weather . We go to local farmers markets, and also farms and local zoos

It's ideal for seniors. Close to stores, hospital s, restaurants, supermarket. I like everything. Again, I don't have nothing to change in my community.

convenient to stores; ther is a big church across the street. They have plenty of parking and give out food once a week
