My Neighborhood

Olga Belaya and Charlie Rocho

I have changed several places of residence in my life. I have lived in both good and bad areas. Now I live in Kirkland in a good neighborhood. While there are things I don’t like about my neighborhood, the advantages of my neighborhood clearly outweigh its disadvantages.

I like it a lot in my area. For example, the apartment complex where I live is located far from the road, and it is very quiet on its territory. There are also many trees and flowers growing there, which makes the neighborhood beautiful. This apartment complex has a gym and swimming pool where I often exercise and swim. My neighborhood is safe. I often see a security car circling the area. And another big plus for me is that I live near LWTech, which is very convenient for me.

Also, there are some things I don’t like in my neighborhood. For example, I don’t like that my neighbors from the first floor often cook meat on coals and the smoke from their coals gets into my apartment. I wish they cooked meat away from my windows. I wish there was a park in my area where I could walk my dog. Also, I wish there were more shops, cafes, restaurants where I could go at any time.

As you can see, there are pros and cons in my neighborhood, but there are many more pluses, so I live in a good place, and I really like it.
