Paw Paw is a very accepting community. They have a ton of cute shops and local restaurants, as well as a winery and brewery to enjoy. This is a family friendly area, and you often see people walking their pets or riding their bikes during the summer. There are a lot of family friendly and fun events hosted throughout the year. There are also nice churches and communities to join.
We've lived in Paw Paw for 3 years now. I would say it was a good starting community for us to get into right out of college. A couple complaints we have had is with city water (absolutely terrible, our hole house water filter clogs every month and it needs to be replaced due to iron buildup), the utilities haven't been easy to set up (autopayment got rejected on ours or their end and for 3 months we needed to bring cash in during working hours to pay bills until we could show good faith of payments to get back on autopay) and if you are looking to do any improvements get your information in to the inspector weeks ahead since they aren't on a schedule. Other than those things its been very quiet, and we have felt very welcomed and safe here.
Paw Paw is such a quaint little town. You get to know the people at the grocery store and there are parks and beautiful walks to take. I think the innermost part of Paw Paw could use a little bit of maintenance, like broken roads and dirty gas stations. However, the Paw Paw experience is wonderful to hang onto.
