Oak Park, MI


Glorified Ghetto - 9/12/2021
I've lived in Oak Park for 5 years and have dreamt of escape since year one. This town is an absolute s**thole and the current aims at gentrification are failing. They keep raising market rates but the quality of the homes is total garbage. Awful infrastructure - the power goes out if you sneeze too hard and the streets flood with every rainfall. The cost of water/sewage is astronomical for some unknown reason, and property taxes/rental rates just keep going up. Unfortunately, the entire county is overpriced, so good luck finding a average sized place here under $1,000 a month or $300k that is actually inhabitable. Slumlords galore! Tiny houses with massive, uncontrollable overgrowth, RATS and mold. You'll also have a plumber on speed dial. Racing SUVs down residential streets, dogs barking 24/7, people yelling at each other all the time... Oh, and if you think it's inclusive, think again. It truly depends on the color of your skin - if it's not brown or black, you're not welcome here, and the community delights in reminding you as often as possible. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.
