What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Blaine

The closest gas station is one where the gas is cheaper. There is almost everything you need (examples, grocery, laundry, auto zone, restaurants and even a Mecanico) near by.

I like that you can go right up the street cuz it's a Safeway there's a restaurant Joe's Pizza they sell Subs salads and everything and it's a Family Dollar there's a Big Lots McDonald's Taco Bell

My neighborhood is very safe and homey. It has great neighborhood amenities such as pools, parks, and tennis courts.

How friendly people are and how close we are to the school for the kids to walk to school daily. Close to the mail places and some store.
