What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Blue Island

I like that you can take the bus anywhere. There is also nice parks around where you can sit out and enjoy the air. Its a friendly neighbohood

The neighborhood is quiet and some of the people are friendly and look out for others. The worsts part is sometimes they forget when they have a party.

We live in a quit trailer park with kids , and grocery stores and shops are less than a mile away. The era where the trailer park is located in a wooded secluded area of of a street that is not a main road which helps keep it quiet.

The schools are mostly very good due to the school did truco being acceptable and better than schools in nearby towns.

Convenient. This is the only neighborhood my youngest son has known his whole life. Close to school.

It?s quiet, not a lot of rowdy teens, good police force, a wonderful rec center, it?s clean. and lots of malls and government offices, easy access to out politicians, and our suburban Mayor.
