What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Johnson City

It's a quiet neighborhood. Near some small stores and gas stations which make it easier to live near. Close to downtown.

I enjoy walking in our area because it's safe. I enjoy seeing my neighbors from time to time. I am close to grocery stores.

My neighborhood is unique because you can easily walk and access all of downtown as well as a park that is dog friendly. My favorite local businesses are patriot popcorn store, the generalist general store, and wild wing cafe restaurant. I like going on walks downtown with my partner or to the park with her and our dogs.

I like that there are a range of living options (apartments, townhomes, traditional one-family homes). I love the downtown area, especially Atlantic Alehouse. It is nice that the neighborhood is dog friendly, since I have a dog myself. There are nice areas within a drivable distance to hike, shop, and do other activities with friends and families. Living in the mountains is also a perk in the fall, it is absolutely beautiful at that time of the year.

Did I do not always have to use a car I can just as easily walk somewhere or catch a bus. The two stores I go to the most are within four blocks either way

It's awesome, I live close to downtown. Whenever I want too I can walk there and eat out. Plus the shopping is great.
