What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Bristol

It's in the arts district of New Haven I enjoy walking through the Yale university The food carts have awesome food to choose from daily

The parks the treelines and the bike trails and they do the local fireworks at the park and events for kids near local schools

I don't really like my neighborhood. I'm currently considering moving . My neighbor is not somewhere I like

Cultural diversity is abundant and there's some local businesses near by. It's also very close to public transit. It may not have much to some that want more but there are things near by to where if you are looking for other things, it's there.

My neighborhood is ad large parks. On a bus line, coffee shops schools, and a major grocery store. Near the highway.

Walking distance to downtown. Friends live nearby. It's the hip neighborhood in my town. Large park nearby. Small businesses and restaurants nearby. A lot of restaurants and bars for the size of the neighborhood.
