Grammar

Singular and plural issue

× There are different kind of facilities which I like about my hometown.

There are different kinds of facilities which I like about my hometown.

The phrase 'different kind' should be pluralized to 'different kinds' because 'there are' indicates a plural subject. When referring to multiple types or varieties, 'kinds' is the correct plural form.

Singular and plural issue

× there are lot of green spaces, for example, umm, umm, gardens and parks which create a natural and, uh, good atmosphere.

there are a lot of green spaces, for example, umm, umm, gardens and parks which create a natural and, uh, good atmosphere.

The phrase 'lot of' requires an article 'a' before it to be grammatically correct. The correct expression is 'a lot of' when referring to a large quantity.

Singular and plural issue

× Over the years, I made many close friends which make me feel like it is truly home and the neighborhood is very good.

Over the years, I made many close friends who make me feel like it is truly home and the neighborhood is very good.

The relative pronoun 'which' is used for things, while 'who' is used for people. Since 'friends' refers to people, 'who' is the correct pronoun here.

Third person singular issue

× and it also have lot of different kind of.

and it also has a lot of different kinds of.

The subject 'it' is third person singular, so the verb should be 'has' instead of 'have'. Also, 'lot of' needs the article 'a' and 'kind' should be pluralized to 'kinds' to match the plural meaning.
