What Renters Like and Dislike About West University Reno

My neighborhood is old. The people are nice and we help each other. There is a swimming pool and a public park nearby.

I like that I live close to my mom. I like this area of town . Lastly, it's near some good schools. There's some nice clean parks nearby that I enjoy walking through.

I like to go out to the river with family and friends. There's a few restaurants that I would like to visit when I have the chance to.

It is near the local university. Walmart, Safeway, Dollar Tree are all close by. I like going to the store or to do activities with family and friends.

the neighborhood is quiet and most of the neighbors are friendly and we all tend to look out for each other
