What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Socorro

Unique I think that this part of the city is an old pueblo. That we live in a Tigua place. I like to go to the park with my husband and our dogs, and my favorite restaurant closer is Applebee's.

Every morning and every evening, the lights of the sun in the clouds make a red color that is impressive to see

I like the restaurants and food in my neighborhood. I also really enjoy having fun with my friends at parks
