Machesney park has everything within a 5 minute drive. It is so convenient, and most of the time it is clean. The river is down the street from my house with a boat ramp for easy access. The neighborhoods are pleasant as well!
The city of Machesney Park is well put together, with constant improvements. However, where it shines, there is also an aspect that lacks. The keeping up of canals for when the river rises, making sure that police answer to disturbances such as gun shoots in the air and firework till late hours.
It’s a very mellowed down town, with very quiet and peaceful areas; however, there are times where you encounter people who are trying to do things that aren’t so peaceful. Overall, an okay place to live.
