What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Kingsport

I can't just pick one thing there is just so much I love about living in my neighborhood. my neighborhood.

Neighbors, quite and easy access to main road. The neighbors look out for each other. It is kid friendly and you can let your kids outside to play with the neighborhood kids.

We are close to everything and the schools are very good. We have some friendly neighbors, but most people keep to themselves.

i like going shopping. your neighborhood is near park and close to downtown activities and/or spaces a

I like it being walkable to downtown. While you are also close to the schools and the hospitals if you are in need of it.

It's quiet and safe, you can leave doors unlocked or packages outside, you could leave your spare key with neighbor without worry
