What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Mill Creek

The community is unique and welcoming. Favorite local shops are Top Pot and proximity to our school.

Lots of families. Every store I need nearby. Libraries and doctors nearby. Close access to the freeway.

HOA rules are reasonable and enforced. Lots of walking trails and pocket parks in good condition to keep the little ones off the streets and out of harms way.

I don't really have favorite local businesses because it is very much the suburbs, but we can DoorDash pretty much anything. What I like best is how quiet it is and how many trees there are, plus there is a horse boarding place within walking distance that my girls like to go to.

I like that we have a beautiful town center near by that is very walking friendly and I also like that the properties are pretty well maintained so they look nice
