I love everything about Okemos! I grew up here and hope to raise my family here as well. The public schools are by far the best in Mid-Michigan. I felt extremely prepared to go into college and was well above many other students. The math classes I took in college were even easier than the ones I took at Okemos. In addition, it is very safe and clean. There are some good restaurants, my favorite being Dusty's, but this is an area I think they can improve in.
Friendly town with growing business close to MSU campus. Real estate is more modern than surrounding areas with many growing neighborhoods. Boasts one of the most highly rated school districts in Michigan. Great suburban community, just wish more attention was put on fixing roads.
Really great parks, land preserves, pathways, schools, recreation programs and events. I feel very connected to my community!
