Leon County Reviews
Rating 3.84 out of 5 19 reviews
Having lived here only for about four years I can easily come to say I've thoroughly come to enjoy Leon County.
Great area to explore and try new things. It may seem like a small town that alleviates the opportunity of doing big city things and trying mainstream forms of entertainment at times but makes up with the countless nature-based activities available to the public.
There are some great areas of Leon County, and the college area is good for students. However, there seems to be a problem with the roads and a high level of car accidents for the area. Lately also, crime near FSU campus has spiked, it seems that the crime from the bad areas has begun to bleed into student living areas. Downtown is beautiful, and Tallahassee has a lot to do, but it can be unsafe at times especially for college students.
