What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Michigan City

The most unified thing is I live near to the lake and beaches of Lake Michigan . The scenery Year wound is beautiful Woods and dunes and the lake views are the reason I live here / the beach is course is the activity that brings together family and friends to enjoy life here

Actually, the police station is down the street with a park for the children, and pet friendly.we are also located about a mile or two from lake Michigan

A lot of food places. Downtown is very close and I feel safe when I walk outside. A lot of good people too they are caring.

It is like a tight knit family all though it is a bad neighborhood. When this is how you grew up this is what you become accustomed to.

My neighborhood has neighborhood stores, restaurants, and places of worship. A lot of my neighbors walk to establishments. I often go to the place to eat a half block from me.

Often go to the place not far from home to climb mountains, exercise and relax, you can take the children and family to the mountain to pick flowers, breathe fresh air, exercise.
