What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Glen Allen

Same philosophy and traditions They like restaurants what we like To go beaches and berry's We celebrate all our festivals combinedly

I like that we are super close to everything. We can walk to lakes. The neighborhood itself is hidden away so there isn't much traffic and most people know each other.

Like its walkable to shopping. Clean area with nice people. Feel safe to walk the area and have nearby hospitals.
