Byron Center, MI. Firstly, I'm a junior in high school so remember that this is my perspective of the town.The public schools give kids a lot of opportunities and are very fortunate for being here. I'm giving 4 stars because I do realize how nice of a place this is but, I will say there are definitely issues within the community. Also, there's not much to do right nearby but we're close to a lot of surrounding things. Tanger Outlets up on 84th is a popular spot. The residents are mainly conservative so that is something to consider based on your political views. Also, our diversity is very poor, it is predominately Caucasian residents. LGBTQIA+ community may not feel very accepted here (we hung a gay pride flag out during pride month and neighbors didn't like it). But it depends which people you surround yourself with. I definitely think it's a nice place to live with access to many resources, yet I have to note I haven't had nice experiences with close minded people.
Have lived here for 20 some years we can see that the persons on the the board that make critical decisions on development in this area are not looking at the big picture of truck traffic in the area on the east side near Clyde park and 92nd st these roads are not designed for the heavy trucks or the extra traffic now they want to add more industrial to the area. No more quiet weekends! Property values drop and the animal viewing is gone. You got to ask yourself if the people on the township board have something at stake for the growth of this area
Byron Center is a great place to live. The schools offer proper, public education to all students and are always updating to make the students more comfortable. The new updates to the high school are wonderful: creating new classrooms, a whole new floor, and expanding the whole school to moderate for the growing, new population. The teachers are great as well, passionate to teach and available to help students out when they need to. Compared to ten years ago, there is more diversity than before. There is a growing diversity in the student population.
