What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About DeSoto

It's quiet. The neighbors are friendly. It's clean and no litter. There are parks and hiking trails nearby

I love the fact that the area is made up of one acre lots. The neighborhood is very near a Walmart and several fast food restaurants.

I like that everybody knows each other. We do alot of activities together as a community which is real great for the kids. Everyone is so loving and caring.

What do like most about living here is that it is quiet. I also like the fact that they are still adding to the city such as the new Fuzzy's Taco Shop a few blocks away from me.

I like my apartment complex because it feels safe and it is surrounded by nature. I like that there are parks to go hiking at within a ten minute drive. There are lots of standard food places near by.

I like that my dog is welcome. I also like that there are so many gas stations in the area. The area is relatively quiet, excluding children, which I also like.
