What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Anacostia Washington

The neighborhood is old, and the buildings have character. There's a black owned bookstore that always has the most amazing books, I take everyone who visits there.

I like to go to KFC very much, because the French fries in it are very delicious. I often go to KFC with my family, and sometimes I go to KFC for breakfast and dinner without cooking

What I like most about my neighborhood is very quiet is safe is police presence the neighbors mind their business kids do not hang in the hallways and I'll area is well lit at night and it's a very nice safe area

The fact that Publix is a walking distance from my house. Also thats it is Family friendly. Great place to start a family here.
