What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Monona

There are parks, restaurants and other businesses in walking distance of the neighborhood as well as a nearby library

Larger yards, easy access to bars and restaurants including being close to the lake and being able to bike to places

Close to work and school. Very quiet area not a lot of noise. Nothing else to say really about this.

I like that it's close to people i know. That it is near restaurants and the library. I'm able to go on walks.

There's nsture trails close and bis stops nearby. It's a little easy to het around the neighborhood. Schools are close also.
