What Renters Like and Dislike About Shelbyville

We live in a small town . I like to go to small town restaurants to support their business . We have a beautiful town square that has lovely shops and restaurants that we frequent .

I like living in my neighborhood the most because we all have pets and are friendly. We have a grocery store in walking distance. Everyone mind's there on b.uisness

There's stores and restaurants all around in walking distance and lots of businesses of all kinds there's a fishing area near by as well

My neighborhood is within walking distance of the city park. When my grand children visit they enjoyed going there as there are plenty of activities for all of them. Grocery stores and downtown or a convenient drive as our restaurants and shopping.

quiet, rural, trees, not overpopulated, nice scenery, close to stores, but feels secluded and private
