What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Gettysburg

Only a mile from park in one direction. Only about five miles from downtown to restaurants and most popular the battle field

I live in history, reenactors all the time at the restaurant park to box of history here I can walk over to my neighbor and sit on the porch and talk. I can also have a barbecue and invite my neighbors over I have done that and had a good time. I've walked to the rec park with my dog. There's a special place for the dogs to run around

I like the friendly neighbors who I would trust to feed my pets, the scenic views, and good atmosphere. I like that a lot of businesses are locally owned.

It's close enough to amenities, a couple of miles away, but still totally residential. Being in a tourist town provides a wide variety of restaurants, etc.

I like that everything is in walking distance. There is a Rec park that is very well maintained for kids to play at, they are up to date with equipment. The schools are also very good.

Small tourist town with a revitalized downtown, walkable, great stores and restaurants, safe, really great school district and close to several major cities.
