I love where I grew up and live! I have the perfect house and family to fill it. It's a cute house with a big backyard. We are somewhat secluded but by great malls, grocery stores, and restaurants. If I had to do it all over again I would definitely live here. Personally I hope to move out to the country-side once I begin a family just for a change in scenery. Compared to anywhere else in this world my home town has a very high ranking! Of course it'd be awesome to be in the middle of Paris or live in Bora Bora but Grand Rapids, Michigan has a perfect mix of city life, relaxing vacation time, and outdoor fun. I wouldn't change my childhood and where I grew up for one moment.
This town has such a sweet and kind atmosphere. It is very family oriented and an outdoorsy place to live. Ever since I was little I always thought that my town was one of the best because it included beaches, cute mom and pop shops, friendly neighbors, and strong values. If I had to do my life all over I wouldn't change my location, I was far enough away from things but close enough to enjoy my town. The future of Grand Rapids is bright, new stores are being added, upstanding neighbors are moving in, and the natural geography is expanding. You can get a touch of space on the outskirts of town but when you go downtown you get the rush and quickness of city life - the best of both worlds. I recommend this area to families who want to feel included, safe, and happy.
Crime rates are very low where I live in Grand Rapids. My neighborhood is very safe, I hardly ever lock my car, can leave the garage door open when no one is home, and trust my neighbors to have our spare key. Cops aren't on patrol too much on this side of town but that is only because it isn't very needed. That being said I do see a cop car at least 3 times a week patrolling the streets. I feel very safe with them around, but I also feel safe without them because of the safe community. I have had to call the police when an accident occurred in front of my house and they responded in record time and dealt with the situation professionally.
