What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Issaquah

There is plenty of undeveloped land in the surrounding area. There is wildlife. Not a lot to do in the immediate area, just restaurants and movie theaters.

The general neighborhood has just about any type of service you need. There are stores, restaurants, salons, and other services needed.

I live on a quiet street with little kids playing and having fun. I am walking distance to a small shopping center and local pools and walking paths.

We have good public transportation. We are within walking distance of a grocery store, pharmacy, and 2 restaurants.

The neighborhood is very quiet and is pretty safe. I really like the location because it is close to everything.

It is close to a big city, but has a small town feel to it. My friends and family like going to the parks and hikes locally.
