What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Porter Heights

I like how it is so close to everything. It's close to the grocery stores and my work. I like going out to eat in to the restaurants in the area.

I emjoy the quiet ness of my neighborhood and the people are nice. The trees, greenery and golf course make the area very beautiful. The new HEB across the street id also very convenient.

Really love that neighbors look out for other neighbors. I do really like that everyone's friendly and doesn't complain if your dog is in the yard. Everyone's willing to help out everyone else

I got a lot of friends and my friends live around me they also keep in contact with me and we all live in the same area

to the park or going for a walk or playing volleyball or football or at lest do something or wants to play basketball ??
