What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About West Allis

I like the restaurants and some of the small town pubs nearby. There are a lot of old historical looking buildings. And some cute little independent businesses

Mind your own business That my naighborhood beliefs and i like to spend time with my family going to the restaurant

been here over 40 yrs-used to be a nice friendly area-used to go to park nearby but don't feel safe anymore

I love that the people here pretty much know each other and are willing to help each other out. When you are outside people always smile and wave. I live close to everything from restaurants to grocery stores to bars to drug stores.

Had lots of neighborhood kids to play with. Close to my favorite restaurants. Close to the highways for faster transportation

My neighborhood is friendly and there are a lot of people with dogs which is important to me. There are good local restaurants that I frequently go to.
