Williamston, MI Reviews

Pros: Good enviornment, good schools - 4/6/2020
I’ve never lived in Downtown Williamston but I spent my entire life there. I attended school from Pre-K and eventually graduated from high school there. The schools are awesome. There was a wide range of AP classes to take. D&W is super expensive, especially when comparing to the bigger stores in Okemos or Fowlerville. The neighborhoods are really nice too. I used to walk from school to my mom’s work everyday and actually met my best friend who now I’ve been friends with for over 10 Read More

Williamston Charm - 11/3/2009
Williamston is one of the three “stepping stone” communities between Detroit and Lansing – Fowlerville to the east, Webberville in the middle and Williamston closest to Lansing. The area has a rich heritage as a farming community that dates back 150 plus years.
We moved to the area in 1991 and fell in love with everything about the Williamston. The City glows in the autumn, and is a winter paradise at Christmas. Spring on the banks of the Red Cedar River is like no other place. Summer is laid back with plenty of City wide events taking place every weekend.
The neighborhood we live in looks out for its own and each family shows an interest in everyone’s well being. A helping hand is always at the ready for people in need. The community rose as one when Ricky Holland went missing several years back, with large numbers of residents spending weeks searching the woods for him. The case, unfortunately, was traced back to abusive parents. Perhaps this is why the town folk are Read More

Small Town Friendliness - 11/3/2009
Williamston is a great place for families. We moved here 18 years ago and were instantly welcomed by our neighbors. The small town charm is evident everywhere. The schools are first rate. Neighbors look out for each other. The only thing that my neighbors are intolerant of is the abuse (physical, mental or verbal) of a child with disabilities by their parent.

It takes a while for them to warm up to you, but i - 10/23/2009
Williamston is a town where people move, and tend to stay for generation after generation. I'm a transplant from California who has been here for nearly 30 years. In California, people move in next door, they're your best friend in week, and when they move away three years later you never hear from them again. After moving to Williamston, it took two years before I had developed many friends, people still leave one another alone, but now after 30 years I know I have friends for life, regardless of whether one of us moves away. Even after 30 years in the same place, the old timers refer to my home by the people who used to live there. When I leave or die, then I'll get the honor of it being referred to with my name.

Most folks in town live live very comfortably, and the surrounding countryside contains several very affluent neighborhoods. The schools are excellent, the town is filled with antique shops and several great restaurants, the grocery store in town is first Read More

People Here Are Mean - 8/17/2009
If you are not from here, and move here, nobody will talk to you. If they do, it's to find out if you are from around here. These people are the kind of people who carry around tiny yappy dogs with bows in their hair and carry them in those name brand purses. I wanted to move here because I have children, one with disabilities. I did not want a bad area. The people here stare at those with disabilities, the schools are non tolerant, and it's not a welcoming atmosphere. If you don't have a Mustang, then you can count on being looked down at. I am looking to move out Read More
