What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About South Boston

Housing is green. I like going to the ocean. Oh cool another minim sentence count. That's really dumb

My neighborhood has a free gym for the building and is very pet friendly to all dogs in the area. They love to give treats

The location and proximity to bars and restaurants. Also the closeness to the beach and castle island walking path is great.

It is in the city but has a suburban feel. I like the Centerpiece Flower Shop and Recreo Coffee Roasters a lot and I like going there with friends. Also Los Amigos burritos is really good.

It is close to public transit and stores close by. People who live there have been there a long time so most people know each other.

I like being near a hospital if I need to see a doctor. I like that there are several restaurants within walking distance. I like that there is an arena that hosts events nearby.
