Without even clicking I guessed Grand Rapids would be close to the top of this list.
The job market here has been fantastic, there is a great metro life to be had, housing is decent, plus the country and small towns around it are easy to commute from. 20-25 minutes to a Great Lake, fantastic beaches, even better beer. Grand Rapids is a fantastic place to call home.
- mingmecca 9y agoTrue. Except! The bone chilling winters and lake effect snow that accumulates into multiple feet. I remember one winter years ago where, when visiting my girlfriend, the wind-chill temp was 45 below zero and our cars were encased in ice an inch thick. That being said, I'm from Detroit but if I had to live in Michigan again I'd be in GR.
- feistypharit 9y agoIndeed. Grew up around grand rapids, spent 15 years in Ann arbor, a year or so in Boston, and now back in GR. Once you get past the winters and the fact that there are a lot of very religious people around (sometimes good, sometimes bad), it's a good place to be.
