What Renters Like and Dislike About Parkersburg

Hi there are you still waiting to hear about. I think it's just a good. I don't think I can get the one.

It's pretty quiet for the most part. It's within a mile of the closest gas station. It's not far from Kroger or Dollar General. It's right off the highway.

Nothing unique. I like to go out to eat. I have some good neighbors. There is a hospital nearby. Several stores and restaurants

Grew up in my neighborhood so it's always a good community obviously Overall it's a good quite neighborhood close to gas station and bus to get to stores

Nothing unique. I like to go out to eat. Favorite restaurant is Texas roadhouse. Favorite place to get a haircut is great clips

peaceful quiet fun neighbors not much traffic schools are close no crime people look after each other nice community
