I love how it's slowly becoming a big hub to move, but it's still on the relatively quiet side. Being about 15 minutes away from downtown Lockport, I can attest to it's noise level. The town is a good area, and we don't have many issues with gangbangers or criminals. It's a safe area to live for families, and since it's getting bigger, there are multiple areas to look at for jobs if needed.
I loved growing up here, it is a a medium size town that is finally starting to get more development into it. Newer food places and store are starting to open up and that is what is really needs. The people there are very interesting with a wide variety of them.
I moved here sight unseen, and in 4 years it has blown me away in the poorest way.
Overcrowded, poor infrastructure, dirty littered streets, fields that are not mowed, trees not trimmed, and the drug issue here is so obvious. An influence of either being on dope or alcohol. I've seen it and reported it. Stolen cars and tons of people just hanging where they don't belong. I've called the Sheriff numerous times and they are disinterested, cocky, and usually late on response.
Lockport is a place you either love or hate. I hate it. Simply hate it.
