What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Fourth Ward Houston

My neighborhood is centrally located. I can easily access a couple of major highways. There is food and banking locations nearby.

like the architecture in the neighborhood very much. It's modern and beautiful. I also like the interior structure of the house, which is very suitable for people like me.

There are always many parties in Buffalo Bayou and it's just really amazing. It's also really close to downtown and nice food and shops around.
