The jobs in the area are very little and don't pay well. The only job openings that pay a decent wage are high executive business positions within the company's in my downtown district

The houses in general all look the same in terms of exterior appearance. in terms of internal appearance, they for the most part look the same as well except for minor exceptions. There aren't really many perks of living in this area as opposed to others for example, good neighborhood, garage, yard (for pets, sittings, etc.)
