What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Temple

We have taco trucks down the street and convenient stores as well as side pocket entertainment. We like to go to new food places as often as possible so we frequently eat at the various places around our inner and outer neighborhoods

Our neighborhood is unique in that it is a big mix of ages and races. My favorite local business would be the HEB grocery store. I like all of the restaurants available to go with family and friends.

I like the quiet neighborhood and nearby parks. My church is close and the grocery store is only a few miles away.

I love how neat and clean my area is. Restaurants and groceries are not that for from the house. A lot of spots to go plays sports with friends.

close to shops, restaurants,low hoa fees, friends live close by, easy to drive to shops and entertainment, easy to get around town and close to everything

I like that it's not far from restaurants and schools ,yet it is still very quiet at night . We like the new city park that is only a few miles away and Texas roadhouse is only like 2 blocks up the street . There are churches ,shopping and food near-by. It's central to almost everything .
