What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Plainfield

It's just a quiet, safe area. Mostly single family homes. Nice parks nearby. Safe for the most part.

What i like most about my neighborhood is that I have lived here for 23 years so I know any and everybody in it and I like that stores are walking distance

I like that my family is close by. I like that we have a park close by. I like that the fire station is close.

The only thing good about this neighborhood is my neighbors and I actually watch out for each othe. They do have a couple parks. Loom man what the heck are you looking for?!!!$r

What is unique about my neighborhood is everything is walking distance you have restaurants, hospitals, grocery stores, bus stations, my favorite local businesses will be dollar tree , and dollar general with my family I love going shopping at city trends

nothing is unique, just homes around. we do have a park, but not many use it. for local shops and to eat, you have to travel. we go out of town when we can afford it.
