What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Wauwatosa

I like to take my children to play in the park, and on weekend nights, I can go to the bistro 3 kilometers from home with my husband for a date, which makes me feel comfortable in this community and happy to live here.

When our kids were still at home, school was within walking distance(the youngest is 32 years old) There are grocery stores with walking distab=nbce. There are numerous restaurants and bars that serve food within walking distance.

That the neighbors are friendly, there are restaurants and bars within walking distance, and it is safe to walk in the neighborhood after dark. Plus, two of my favorite restaurants are within walking distance.

The schools are great. There are grocery stores and restaurants nearby and many familiess with kids the same age as my boys.

I has a very good mix of people in the neighborhood. Lots of activities and stores around the area, how ever most require a car to get there.

What I like most is that I'm close to shopping centers and multiple of food options. I am close to police stations
