Hi My boyfriend and I are looking for a place in Jackson. I need to know what streets are good to live on, with no violence. We plan on getting married and starting a family. Please tell me the names of streets that ARE SAFE with little to no violence. Thank you all very much

I'm not very acquainted with Jackson, but I have a general idea of where good areas and bad. Anywhere west of 4th street is very safe and more well off, south of west high street, and east of Ellery street are all good areas to look at. Keep in mind you'd be relatively safe pretty much anywhere in Jackson, it's not like other small cities like Muskegon and Saginaw, but some areas are better than others.
Also, pretty much anywhere outside of the city limits is good too.

The area south of downtown Jackson is not so good. It is probably the highest crime area. Usually, the farther you get from downtown Jackson the better it is. If you can live a little farther out it is probably the safest. Do you plan on buying a house or renting? How much can you afford? I find Jackson easy to live in. I think it is relatively safe. The city is no so big that it is congested but has all the services you need.

Yeah, stay away from downtown Jackson, it's not safe there. Check out [url]http://annarborapartments.net/[/url] for some great offers on houses in fine neighborhoods.

Someone suggested Ann Arbor. Ann Arbor is nicer than Jackson but it is also much more expensive to live there. You can buy much more real estate for your money in the Jackson area than in Ann Arbor. Also, property taxes are very high in Ann Arbor. It would behoove you to check that out beforehand.

If you buy a home try to find one with natural gas heat. Propane is quite expensive and you won't like paying those costs.

Jackson is not glamorous but it is also not congested. My son lives in Farmington Hills which is a nice area but what a rat race.

Farmington Hills is northwest of Detroit.

I use the Kroger on Argyle Road. The prices are better at Kroger than Meijer for a lot of things. I think living to the west of Kroger would be better than the area to the east but that is just my opinion.
