What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Piedmont

I like that there arent a lot of people who live around here. I also like that I can get to places of convenience in a short time.

I live here because I've got no place to live right now and as soon as I can I'm going to sell this house and move

Nothing really unique about my neighborhood. Theres not to much around. It's nicer to just stay home.

We like to go shopping. We take my sister to places like Chuck E. Cheese. And me to places like big air and Dave & busters.
