What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Norman

Mostly quiet, friendly neighbors, hearing children play. There are several fast food options close by but there are regular restaurants between 2-5 miles from my neighborhood. There are dollar stores, a Walmart and other grocers, car washes, liquor store, about 3 miles away is where the bars can be found

I like that several houses, including my own, back up to either treed areas or green spaces, rather than other houses. I also like that we are like an enxlosed neighboorhood..I can take a nice walk and stay totally within my own neighborhood.

We are located fairly close to a variety of businesses. The city is metro enough to be convenient, but avoids some of the downfalls of larger metropolitan areas.

I love that everything is walking distance. The hospital a bank market gas station. Everyone is kept to themselves or helps out when needed

it is close to everything i need. car is not necessary. also my landlord is great and my rent is very good for this town

we are 20 miles from the nearsest store or restuaraunt. we are a few miles from a casino. my best friend lives across the street
