What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Weslaco

There are bakeries and a few stores where you can get what you need. There could be more nearby gas stations

I like that I can easily get into the city from where I live in the suburbs. I also like that I don't have to go into the city if I don't want to - there are many fine restaurants near me that are on par with those in the city.

i like that everyone gets along . i like that people are very welcoming. i like how there are different houses sizes on the streets

no one bothers me. people are nice when you see them outside. they wave and say hello to you when they see you.

There are many positive qualities that this neighborhood has such a park, pool, gym. It is located very near a main street. The third floor has a few spectacular views.

Our neighborhood is unique in that everyone pretty much knows everyone and we all look out for each other.
