What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Harrisburg

I don't like it here at all. I don't feel like it's safe for my kids to play outside, the schools are horrible and the people as well

It's mostly older/old ways people which is nice and there are a few local places that make it favorable.

My neighborhooddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd is kinda noisy but it's ok!!!!!!!!they be on our faces alottttt it's annoying

Nothing is unique about where i live except people stay in their place and mond their business to a certain extent at least but everything is close by or not too far away to get to

i like living here because it is very cheap and affordable and not too many people around in your face

The restaurant are pretty nice and i like that the bus is near by apartments are cheaper and some shopping store are good and near by
