Burnham Reviews
Rating 3.43 out of 5 7 reviews
Burnham has been the place that I lived in my entire life. Growing up Burnham was a good neighborhood to live in,it wasn't perfect but it was okay to live in. Growing up my family,and I were cool with everyone around us. My family,and I knew most of the people on our block,the store owners,and even people who just walked through the neighborhood everyday. Over the years, Burnham has started to slowly change into something bad. Violence started to become a often thing in the neighborhood. Now I would like for things to go back to the way they were,but I know that will never happen.
Burnham is a very small community. It’s quite and filled with working class people. The neighborhood is very safe considering the police station sits right on the corner. Therefore, out of the 7 years I’ve lived in Burnham there’s been no crimes. I love how clean and quiet it is. I’ve left my door open plenty of time and no one ever came in and took anything. I love the city of Burnham and will not be relocating anytime soon. Also, the mayor comes by your home to welcome you to the neighborhood when you first move into your home.
It has always been a place where it is peaceful and no harm is caused here.Quiet at all times , and people are friendly.
