What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Alton

The people are friendly. Close enough to take a short drive to St. Louis and see or buy most anything you want or need.

Neighbors are mostly good. Trees are nice. Can walk to Downtown to the mall. Nice parks not too far away but will always be homeless people there.

Lots of families. Good school district. Close to shopping. Lots of green. Houses around mine are nice

We started a neighborhood circle in our yard. Most.nice days we have 7-12 people out visiting. Other neighbors will slow down and Honk and wave. I have 3 bowls in yard with fresh water for people walking their dogs.

My neighborhood is in the middle of everything 5 minute drive to just about anywhere. Very quiet considering its the capital of the state

What is unique about this neighborhood is that none of the residents are under 65 years of age. As far as entertainment there is nothing within 3 miles.
