What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Portland

My neighborhood is quiet, which minimizes issues with sleeping at night. Additionally, I have not seen any suspicious activity or evidence of crime in the area, which makes me feel safer.

its has 1 bar that is not a fun place but you can get drunk and its walkable . it doesnt have any homeless or crime but ut does have a bunch of hipsters

Some of the things that I love the most about living in my neighborhood is how many local restaurants and shops there are

It's very warm and safe to live in and I can be completely comfortable when my children want to go to school walking or to play in the garden also every thing I need is near me

It butts up against a large green area -- Forest Park. There are many restaurants of all types of ethnicity and ranges of affordability. We like to go to the museums nearby and the cafes with friends.

The people are unique in n out to the park code for code to get in code is the first code for the car code code eowyy
