What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Montlake Seattle

We have good parks for walking. We have some good restaurants and coffee shops. The neighborhood is very centrally located within the city.

I love how quiet it is. I like having store's nearby. The people in this neighborhood are all very nice and helpful.

My neighborhood is great as there is like about 4 grocery stores literally within a 20 block radius plus a lot of good little restaurants then you could eat with your friends and there's some good pubs to go to locally
