What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Menasha

We live very close to places to eat, a nice grocery store, and some nice small businesses. There is a beautiful park at the end of our street.

There is a park nearby. There is a grocery store less than a mile away. Also, most people have nicely taken care of homes. It's friendly and quiet.

It's easy to go down by the water as a get away place to go to where you can get away from people. It's nice to walk around as well.

Bigger houses comfortable enough for a family. Many restaurants and grocery shops are nearby Many parks are available to go with family.

I love that it's far enough out of the city but yet it's only a 5 minute drive to grocery stores and restaurants. I love the neighborhood feel. They also have bike lanes and walking paths.
