Independence Charter Township Reviews
Rating 3.9 out of 5 58 reviews
Very nice town. Alot of different restaurant choices. Very nice small and cute downtown area. Schools are very good. Very friendly neighbors and people. Close to the expressway. Pine Knob is awesome you have concerts in the summer and Skiing in the winter. Housing and taxes are expensive. If you like lakes and being on the water we have plenty of that for you and you don't have to drive far for it. The surrounding areas are amazing as well.
I grew up here! The area is beautiful. Still lots of shopping, but not too much development. Great schools. The only complaint would be that there is a bit of an ego associated with living here. Many residence are of upper middle class.
In Clarkston, Michigan we have a large mixture of both large corporate stores and mom and pop stores. I tend to prefer the small mom and pop stores because I would rather have my money go to a small family business who cares about their customers rather than the large business that I mean nothing to. Often I go to Kroger and feel like I am nothing but a number and a bill to their employees. When I go into a smaller store like my local Neiman's family market, I am often greeted cheerfully and feel as if I am a person. I feel that I will always prefer a small business over a larger business!
