What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About West University Place

People are very harmonious and loving, everyone is very friendly, neighbors will help each other, the nearby park is also very good, I like to go to the community bar, the atmosphere is very good, I can walk and chat with my family in the park at night

I have lived here most of my life. My favorite steak and hoagie shop is located very near to my house and when my family who live all over the counyry come to visit we have to go at least once to get take out from there because they don't have anything as good where they live. is located here.

Great location and houses. Lots of kids. Torchys tacos, milk and cookies, rice village are all great places.

I love my neighborhood because it's nice , people are nice , there are stores and bars that are in walking distance.

At night it is very quiet. The streets are always clean and free of litter. The homes are well kept and everyone is very neighborly

I like that my neighborhood is modern enough to not have telephone wires exposed on poles, which makes it look classy. My neighbors walk their dogs in the evenings after work so it's a nice way to get to know each other. I also like that there are both natural and man-made trails nearby for outdoor exercise.
