"I live around the corner from this place now. The area is going down hill. This is on a main drag. Emergency vehicles are constantly using this street as a cut through from Emmet to Capital. The only parking that there safely is is in the drive way. The schools are Battle Creek Public and they are absolutly horrible. That only matters though if you are wanting to live with a neighborhood school. There is really no nightlife anywhere near here not with out going to Kalamazoo. As far as shopping goes yeah downtown is really close but there really isn't anything much down there. Yeah there are a few stores but that is more of specialty shops. Everything shopping wise is at least three to four miles away on Columbia or Beckley."
