My experience in Rockton has been decent. It could be better but it could also be worse. There is really not much to do around here but the people are very nice. The food is okay, but again there is just not much to do at all
One of the most amazing aspects of this town is its environment. There is always a positive atmosphere and a sense of security no matter where you are. The town also offers a variety of locally owned businesses all within a reasonable distance. Overall it is a friendly, diverse, and safe environment for everyone!
Very small town, everybody kind of knows everyone. Very good education K-12 and there are always high community involvement opportunities. People are generally respectful, and there are lots to do in the downtown area. Convenient stores like Walmart are close by, and it's not far from Machesney Park which holds plenty of places to shop and eat.
