The best thing about Wyoming is their cost of living. It seems to be the cheapest suburb to live in around the Grand Rapids area. Utilities are on average slightly lower than other places in Kent County, and home value seems to be the more reasonable compared to nearby cities of Grandville and Kentwood. The cheaper living does create downsides, though. Some neighborhoods are not as safe as others, and Wyoming has the most crime compared to other suburbs in the county. Some of the local businesses seem outdated and unapproachable. A good example of this is rogers plaza; It appears that it could be a cool little mall area, instead many of the shops are closed, leaving the entire building to a few places.
Wyoming, Michigan is a really nice spot to grow up in and live if you want to be safe. It is a very urban area, with a lot of places to go if you want to eat or just have fun! The public schools are nice, especially with the new renovation on the high school, and the parks provide a lot to enjoy!
My favorite thing about Wyoming is that not only is it close to Grand Rapids, but it also provides me with a more relaxed setting, along with fun restaurants and new shops; it's a perfect balance between the city and the suburbs. It is also close to my school district, which is another bonus. Most places in the city are very safe, even at night, which is great because I enjoy going out with friends. The only complaint I have is sometimes I see litter in ponds or other areas where animals tend to live. I would love it if the city would ensure that these places are kept clean for the wildlife!
