3 Star Place

My experience being a first time homeowner and renting from this place has been...Okay. The place where it is is a great location I've lived in Hyde park for a long time. the area isn't that bad. You can walk around at night just saying if your scared of violence...If your a first time home owner don't be scared to live on your own it can help you in so many ways you might not even know...
