What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Downtown Dallas

Farmers market, downtown, beautiful historic buildings, parks everywhere, the city noise, bars everywhere, networking events, music blasting out into the streets from every restaurant or seven eleven.

I like that I live within walking distance to may activities. I love that I live close to the majestic theatre. We can walk to pubs and restaurants. We are close to the ATT district.

There are many places to have fun around the community, and there are many children here. I often take my children to play in those places.

Quiet, big trees, wide streets, serene, friendly neighbors, walkable, parks nearby, emergency services nearby, amenities nearby

Go to the park to exercise, you can rest on the stone bench and there is a place for children to play

There are restaurants, bars and other entertainment places nearby, which are well managed and almost free of fights. It is within walking distance of the community.
