No upside to live here! Stay far away! - 11/13/2021
As soon as they started busing in the early 70’s, this place went to hell in a hand basket! My family moved here in the late 50’s and was once the premiere city in Michigan. Today, it’s right down at the bottom with Detroit and Flint. Thugs ruining and running the city. Plus, it’s bankrupt, schools last on the list, crime right there with Detroit and Flint. No police or fire, last I heard ( because I moved away to Florida

Pontiac is a terrible place to live!! - 8/22/2012
Lived here from 1979-1998 and the schools are terrible, the future is dim and the crime, poverty and attitude is all so bad that I would not move back here to raise my family if someone paid me!!!. But Im sure no one moves to Pontiac by choice, however if you do the northside is preferable. The schools are so bad once you get into middle school/ high school that if you can ship your kids out, I would. Waterford used to be such a nice city, but its becoming more and more like Pontiac, so think of choosing Clarkston, or Rochester or Bloomfield Hills schools if possible. If you have any issues with racism, do not move here, there is a huge melting pot of whites, blacks and mexicans and you better be tolerant of all races or else youll be in some trouble getting along here. Stay away from the Southwest neighborhoods which are just like being in the D, really... There are prositutes that cruise Baldwin ave, there are hardly an cops in the city, there are shootings and murders all over the

Pontiac, MI - 7/26/2010
Pontiac, MI is a wasteland. i have lived there for about a year now, and its nothing but gunshots all day and night. It is a "ghetto" to the core. There is absolutly nothing good about pontiac. You can get a home for dirt cheap but i promise you will get robbed, if not worse. think twice before moving tot his area it is a very very very bad place to live.
