Port Huron, MI
The truth about PH -
3/11/2007I moved here about 7 years ago from a very small town in search of a new start... I can't really say it's that great, in the last few years alot of jobs have left this area and we are in desperate need of new business, many people are out of jobs and well economy is not that great anywhere in Michigan. As for the town it's just like most towns except you have the advantage of the water very near by, the north end of town is nicer, housing wise or port huron township area, but the south end is ghetto! I lived downtown when I first moved here and I will never ever live downtown again unless they do some major revamping, which they are cleaning up the downtown area alot but as for housing no way, most of the houses are old, big and I mean big houses, but they mostly have slum loards who have unfortunately turned then into apartments that are poorly taken care of it's too bad because the downtown area was probably beautiful a long time ago. I refuse to live in the downtown are... I haven't lived downtown for the last 6 years... housing is cheaper downtown but beware, I wouldn't raise my kids in those neighborhoods and the schools downtown like woodrow wilson no way... there's crack houses like across the street, check out michigamme or indian trials for little one's. Port huron township is a nicer place to be definetly it's quiet and has more of a country feel with access to shopping within minutes.... the north end has grown a bit in the last 5 years, and is continuing to grow. But as for jobs Michigan isn't the place to be. The summers here are nice but toooooo short, lots to do with the boat races, carnivals, cruise night, and there are a number of beaches to choose from but the downside to the beach is rocks everywhere.
