Lived in Coldwater 7 years
Hi,
I moved to Coldwater 7 years ago and it has been good but difficult at times. We feel that the area is extremely boring in the winter. There is nothing to do, but I don't think Alma has much to offer either. You have to travel quite a distance for any ski resort. Shopping is not the best. There are the basic Meijers and Walmart for groceries and such, but any real clothing shopping you must go to either Battle Creek (30 miles) which is not the best shopping or to Lansing (60 miles) or Fort Wayne (45 miles). We like Fort Wayne the best. There are no beaches in the summer, so to access the water that is all around you must have a boat.
The cost of living is good. But the job market is very tight. Over the last several months it has improved some, but not much. The mortgage foreclosure rate is high which attests to the state of the job market.
