What Renters Like and Dislike About Windcrest

There are 2 parks in our small city with ponds. It's a nice place to walk dogs and take children. There are plenty of businesses for food, shopping of all kinds on the main streets surrounding the neighborhood. There is a citizens patrol volunteer organization which I drive for, also.

Having a pond for fishing, picnics and events. Being close to public transport and stores. It is nice to be able to walk my dogs. Friendly residents. There are many eat in and take out restaurants and we share our recommendations. We like the buffet, Shoney's.
