What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Edmonds

I love live here because it is a safe place and i can reach for all shopping mall and restaurants.. i like going to park

Close to a refurbished downtown area. It is overall co side red to be a desirable place to live. I love that it's quiet and there is little crime and no drug traffic

The tree lined streets are beautiful and provide awesome shade and character. Most neighbors are friends so there's a nice community feel and trust. There are kids my kid's age, which is great for them. My favourite little cafe is within walking distance, where I like to take my kids and friends and neighbors.

I like that it's close by to parks. I also like that it is walking distance to some restaurants and schools.

I like how quiet it is. I also enjoy the views. I enjoy the fact almost everyone has pets. It's close to parks and the beach

I like how it's very walkable to get to friends houses. There are very nice people that work in restaurants. Nice rich areas and downtown is very nice to hang around with your friends.
