What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Hershey

The only places that are really walkable are the gym, pool, and sports courts. We have a nice shopping center just a mile away with shopping, restaurants, grocery store and book store. Our church is nearby. We like to meet family in the downtown Mobile area to grab a bite to eat.

It is crime free and people can be trusted and friendly.There are many restreraunts and needed amenities like fast food and family places that I like going with my neighbors who I call friends.
