The neighborhood I live in is very quiet and peaceful, hardly any commotion happens. It is clean, oderly, and enjoyable. There's a Dairy Queen just on the left of Burger St., so trips to get ice cream are the best during the summer. One thing I didn't like though is that its too quiet it's spooky! I used to live in a super noisy neighborhood, so when i moved into this one, I thought its haunted!
I've lived in Dearborn Heights all my life growing up and I think it is a nice place to live and grow up in. The public school district I went to is Crestwood School District and I think it was a great place for me to pursue what I wished. It had dual enrollment to college, AP classes, and choices to go to other high schools for certain programs they had. They had a lot of choices which really helped me decide what I wanted to do with my career and life. The neighbors were always friendly and I knew them well. I had most of the other people in my age group in my school, so I know majority of them and I haven't really had a bad experience with any of them. I think the one downside is Dearborn Heights needs more city services for seniors as population is aging there isn't many services that help them; for example, senior transportation for food and doctor appointments, meals on wheels, senior trips to group activities or shopping center.
I live on the border of Dearborn Heights and love living here. The people here are incredibly kind, and always welcome you with open arms. I also attended school in the Dearborn Heights area, and it was and still is great. Overall, my school and the city has presented me with amazing opportunities and has turned me into the young woman I've always dreamt of becoming. With my school, I do community service in Dearborn Heights and the surrounding areas. People here love to work together to get the job done. I've also never been in a city that does as much volunteer work as the people here in Dearborn Heights do. The one thing I believe can improve here is the nightlife. In my opinion, there aren't a lot of people out having fun at night, but it is improving more and more as the city continues to get built up.
