My experience with Machesney Park has been wonderful. The school district is great and offers many opportunities to students. There are also many opportunities for jobs in different areas. There are a lot of events that are offered to the community throughout the year. The area is growing with more shopping stores being added. We also have more fast foods and chain restaurant opening in the area. There are of course a few more stores or food places that can be added like a Trader Joes. As for entertainment, we have a great Forest preserve that many residence get use out of. We have a place to watch movies, bowl, and parks to explore. There is a great sense of community here with locals selling food and plants.
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!
