What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Jenks

Newer homes. Good nearby shopping. Good restaurants. Friendly neighborhood. Easy access.. Close to aquarium

I like living in my neighborhood because my neighbors are very friendly. Schools are the best in town. And I have a one year old that I want to go to the best school there is. I love it that we are in the middle of everything. We have a lot of great food around us as well as great entertainment, parks. Anything you need, really.

My family likes taking walks or bike rides to the multiple nearby parks and playgrounds in our neighborhood.

It is quite have side walks, beautiful ponds. Don't have a favorite local business... I like to take walked outside with my kids, playing around the pond
