I really enjoy where I live. I love taking walks with my dog around my neighborhood. There are many great, safe places to walk at any time of the day or night without feeling endangered. There are ponds, preserved lands, condominiums, and playgrounds. Since I live in between two different subdivisions, I have to opportunity to enjoy the benefits of subdivisions while enjoying a lot more land than a normal home in a subdivision. This has been my only home, but I really enjoy it. I hope that my neighborhood will continue to be a safe place in the future.
This has been a very enjoyable place to grow up and I would definitely raise a family here. There are good rated schools, many job opportunities in the area, and being so close to a big city is very convenient. With that being said Byron Center is a very safe area to live, but as you get into neighboring communities you still have to watch your safety just like any other big city. Even though I love this city and everything it has done for me, it is changing and being more industrialized. A new mall was just put in and I see this as just the beginning of more businesses and companies moving into Byron Center in the near future.
This area is very diverse, medium income families, low crime, and great schools. There are a variety of stores, banks, and things to do. You could live and work within 5 Miles.
