Honestly it's better than Rockford, but it's also pretty bad here. There's a lot of poverty and crime and the school district is decent at best. The best part is it's economic center, 173. The main roads are decent but neighborhood roads are pretty bad. There's a huge issue with potholes, and other large divots in roads. They never get addressed because they're not on main roads.
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!
In Machesney Park we are close to I-90 and just north of Cherry valley and Rockford. Cherryvale mall is the closest mall in 50 miles and is only 15 minutes away from where I live. Clean strip malls, Woodman's, Meijer's, target and close to Rockford manufacturing units.
