What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Norristown

nothing. valley forge park . pizza spots.being outdoors and going to park. enjoy the pool at my apartment complex

There are many places to shop. And grocery stores are convenient. There's also a garden center close by.

Friendly neighbors and children with enough space and playgrounds for them to play and enjoy themselves

It's quiet with beautiful scenery. Restaurants and small family places are within walking distance. Highways are close by making traveling easy

Everything about it I would consider about this neighborhood because his neighborhood stands out and has a very good reputation for knowing everybody and everybody would benefit that is true

I like the restaurants near my home. They are delicious and there are many entertainment places nearbyhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
