What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Forest Hill

What I mostly like about my neighbors is that we have a Walmart and a few fast foods down at a walkable distance. We also play music and no one gets bothered by it.

What makes my neighborhood good is it's quite, very family friendly, neighbors get along and I am not aware of it being a crime centered area. Other than that I really don't know what else to say and neighbors are nice

The cost of living and the schools being close by and the variety of stores in the area. Some of the people in the neighborhood are very nice and interesting and the kids have children their age to play with.

I like that the area is quiet and the fact that it is close to my beauty salon, shopping and restaurants

its quiet and peaceful. it is a nice place to entertain, and its vintege. plus it is a nice area to lib=ve in for our budget

The neighborhood has good people in it and propel are very nice and calm and they greet you and I go really anywhere with family and friends cause we always have fun
