What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Troy

We have bin our backyard with our neighbors. The kids play with each other. We are close to lots of restaurant options and most major shopping retailers are nearby.

We have a very vibrant downtown. There are nice restaurants that my brother loves to go to when he visits. There is a farmers market near the square during the summer. There are concerts, bike races and festivals too.

I don't have to go far to get where I need to go. I can get in my car and restaurants, grocery stores and clothing stores are less than 2 miles away.

I live in the historical district, it's very quiet on outskirts of town. Walking distance to downtown, shops, food, Library.

I hope that living near the supermarket can buy what I want at any time. I hope that the transportation around is convenient to go out and that there are hospitals around to see a doctor

There is a cover bridge down street and baseball diamonds . I like take my friends and family down to the river to fish .
