What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Cave Spring

There are ponds that make the scenery nice. It has a good mix of people. We can walk to the nearby grocery store.

The neighbors are friendly and it's well lit at night. I'm 2 minutes away from grocery stores, gas stations and restaurants. There's also a park that's just as close.

friendly people near everything i need to go i can be close to family and friends. I can walk my dog late at night without worry

Lots of families. Plenty of neighborhood stores and close to beautiful scenery. It's generational area where the parents and grandparents know each other. They're is always something to do

This subdivision is close to town, the road is stat maintained and most residents keep up their property.

We are very close to restaurants, grocery stores and schools. There are also quite a few parks to take children to and we live up on a hill so our view is great.
