What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Sandston

The unique people that live in my complex. The closesness of restaurants that I like. The park that down the street from my house.

During the holidays, you can go to the mall with your family to play parent-child games and buy your favorite books and clothes. Sometimes I go to a party with my friends

My favorite thing is to live near pub park so me and my family can enjoy it because my family and I are enjoying life and it's safe and happy to live in my neighborhood with familiar faces and police presence with.

Corner CafeSharks Fish & ChickenI often dine here with my friends and their food is very delicious.

I enjoy the churches. There are always revivals or Bible Studies near. Most churches have various support programs.

Local and unique restaurants with tasty and great food. Affordable prices in nearby restaurants for all
