I really enjoy living in the city of Lawrenceville because the community is very kind. Throughout the year there are many opportunities for the community to get together and commune as one big city. One of my favorite activities that my family participates in is the firework shows on the Fourth of July in Lawrenceville because the show never disappoints and competes with the others in the area. Due to Lawrenceville being a suburban area, we have everything we need within close proximity to us, which I really love. I really enjoy being a part of this city also because I seriously feel safe going anywhere and being anywhere in the Lawrenceville area. Some of my favorite places to visit and hang out at are the Downtown Lawrenceville plaza because the shops, restaurants, and sites are truly beautiful to be a part of. I would totally recommend living here!

Lawrenceville is a somewhat diverse town, and definitely an improvement from other places from where i used to live. Yet like many suburbs, the town also does a good job at hiding its many defects. For example, the homeless population here has been increasing recently. Due to the location of my job, I've had first hand experiences with the homeless population and noticed many lack proper mental health aid and shelters. We have also began to see the effects of gentrification spread into this town. Through the construction of new condos and stores, I've noticed that more run down homes are being bought off and people are being pushed out. The wealth distribution is so far removed that on one side of the road one could see new, refined building with improved gyms, walking areas, safe playgrounds, and more. Yet, one minute down the road, one would also observe run down trailer homes, with many of these same resources unavailable to people who live in same exact town, only a minute away.
