What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Sturgeon Bay

I like that the yards are clean. I like that we are in a great area for stores and downtown. Its also a quiet place to live

It is a small town and everyone knows everyone. We are close to a major city and we have a very safe and warm community.

My neighborhood is very rural. It is quiet with a lot of nature around. It only takes 10 minutes to get to nearby stores and restaurants.

It's a quiet neighborhood with mostly retired couples. A few families with kids. I feel safe with windows and doors unlocked during the day. Property values have increased in the past few years.

My neighbors are all friendly and it's quiet. Also close to church and my child's school. Like the peacefulness

We have a quaint downtown area with unique shops and nice restaurants within a 10 miles. We get together for neighborhood functions several times per year. People take care of their properties.
