What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Oklahoma City

Nothing like the stores around. But i like my house. I like the conveince of everything around me. Anywhere i need to go is roughly 20 minutes away. Convenient stores and groceries all within 5 minutes. Fast food everywhere.

The neighborhood is very quiet. We have some fast food that we can walk to and some fun things to do

Lots of fresh air and freedom. Fishing, animals and outdoor activities. There is always something to do.

It is pet friendly. It is a short walk to the nearest bank and many restaurants and stores. It is close to the freeway. It is easy highway access. It is a diverse community

We have a few restaurants but could use a few more we have a park we can walk to it's small the bigger one is bout 2 miles away not bad 3 markets a lot of fast food places shop we have a o k collection of shops we hit up a couple of the restaurants a few times a month

I like how safe it is like I said before. I also like how nice the neighbors are and it is pet freindly.
