Best and worst neighborhoods in Owosso

Curious what people think. My partner and I are Average temperature is around 48--F, so expect cold winters. Poverty rate is 11.7%, which is around average. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Thoughts? Property taxes are high but you get good services. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The suburbs are where most families end up. The city has invested a lot in new development. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 10 years ago from LA and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Older homes are where the value is. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in Highland. It's tough for what you get.

Jobs: The market is developing right now, especially in finance. If you're in legal you might struggle.

People: Generally tough. It took about 14 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: surprisingly good. Tons of options if you like farm-to-table.

Hope this helps!.
