Pro's and Con's of Living In Grand Rapids Michigan
Hello, Black guy here. I love living here in Jenison, Michigan. I've lived here for 27 years and have never had any issues with anyone except the first year we moved in. Karen stopped me and told me "WE' make sure to mow our lawns once a week then drove off. LOL!! :)>
I moved to Wyoming 3 years ago and I have a love-hate relationship with the city.
HEy Tony...i know what you mean...there is a good and bad in every area. Hope there is more love than hate! HAHA. Let me know if you have any real estate questions...happy to help. Jimmy
At the start you were at my childhood park maplewood!!!
Oh Very cool! thanks for watching
Honestly in a few years I'd like to buy a house or condo in Wyoming, MI
Wyoming is a nice area....let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Jimmy
Thank you for sharing your very informative Videos
Thank you for watching!
i am moving here in march :) i work at amazon its such a easy transfer!
Dan, Congrats on your new job! If you need any help finding a place to live or just general information please reach out and I will help in any way I can. 616-826-9157 Thanks, Jim
very very very few people die from car deer accidents in MI. almost every car deer accident report is car/deer - no injury. Moose on the other hand yeah that's a deadly hazard.
I agree that there are few deaths but there are a ton of accidents from hitting a deer. A moose or elk are like hitting another car! they are huge and it would be very scary to hit one...I know in Alaska it's a real concern. Thanks for your comment!
Thank you for the video, this video is 90 percent talk and 10 percent showing what it is like to live there, great for radio not video, you should show a continuous video of East Grand Rapids while your voice does the narration behind the scene, hoping this will help you.
Appreciate your thoughts and will take them into consideration...this is how I was taught by the guys with the best UA-cam channels but there is always room for improvement!
Thanks for doing a Byron Center video! Some more cool things are the beautiful Kent Trails start right here. Housemans Ice cream shop, Pete's, The Family restaurant, Alebird, Dollar store, antique shop, people bring their beautiful, classic cars to Ace Hardware every Saturday evening, football games, wide variety of churches. So many new homes but there is still a very small hometown feel to this community!
Lisa, thanks for watching the video and those are all great points! It's a great place and I have several buyers that want to move there but we can't find a house. I'm glad you are enjoying BC and hope your summer is going great!
Hi Jim why don't you post videos anymore?
I just got busy and keep meaning to....I'm working on a few right now and will have them up by next week....sorry for dropping the ball and thanks for watching the videos!
I'm a Grand Valley grad. Twice. Had to move away in 1995 for employment reasons. Grand Valley football was super good back then. Still great. I'm in Portland OR but still listen to games. Former Notre Dame and now LSU coach Brian Kelly was Grand Valley's coach back then. It's high quality football. Use to go to basketball games too. Grand Valley's enrollment is much higher now than when I was in student (82-87 then 91-95). Have been expecting them to go to Division 1....and join the MAC. Grand Valley football games are well attended too. Great support.
Yes they still have a great program and I totally agree that they will be a Division one for all sports soon! They are blowing up with new students and growing campus. Do you enjoy Portland?
Wyoming is a working class starting home community. I lived there’s for years and live close by now. Make no mistake ghetto growth spread from downtown via Division south. Just a fact. The Burton heights Godwin heights area kind of go street weather it’s a good hood or not. A lot of positive’s you correctly point out, bad thing. The Wyoming City Counsel is why I won’t live in Wyoming. If the counsel wants something that requires voter approval they will put it on the ballet year after year for years until they find a to hide the funds they in something else they can get passed.
There are some really nice spots in Wyoming as well. What city do you live in now and are you enjoying it?
I’ve lived in East Grand Rapids all my life. I love around here but I’m not a fan of the school system. If I had kids I would send them to Grand Rapids Christian over East Grand Rapids.
Isaac, thanks for your comment! Grand Rapids Christian is a great school but I still think East is the best. My kids have had a great experiences with the school and the awesome athletic program. But I know it can be a little intense to say the least....any kid going to either of those schools is going to have a great education and start to their life! Are you in east town now? Jim
@@livingingrandrapidsmichiga9118 yeah I live in East
@@isaacmcgee3865 Cool Man...maybe I will see you around! Have a great weekend!
Hey dude how is grand valley State University
Grand Valley is a great school! It was pretty small back when I was in college and it has BLOWN up since then...they are growing fast and have their athletic programs are very good! Are you thinking about going to GVSU?
@@livingingrandrapidsmichiga9118 yup
This was actually so helpful and informative! We're thinking about relocating to East this summer. I really appreciate your insight and the time you took to make this video!
Leslie, thank you for the kind words and I'm so happy you enjoyed it! EGR is an amazing place and I'm sure you will love it! Feel free to email or call with any questions and I will help you in any way I can. 616-826-9157 . jkegle@soldbyjimmy.com. Thanks and have a great week!
are Wingate apartments really that bad? plan on moving there
no they are not bad....its a large complex that is older but they keep it up....its in area with lots of appointments....when you ready to buy let me know and will connect....in the mean time I hope you enjoy your stay at WG and reach out if you have any questions? Thanks, Jim
I live in Grand Rapids I’m originally from Saginaw Michigan I was just interested in watching the video because I thought I would hear about how racist and kkk I heard Lowell Michigan is.
Lowell is a great place and I have not heard of any of that...Hope everything is going great for you!
Ur racist
Wtf
The most we got here are pot shops (too many in my opinion) and a decent wrestling team
You sound like the type of person that doesn't get out of the house and likes to judge from a distance.
Where I live it is getting worse were I lived 44th nd division. I seen things like people pull guns on one each other I see more homeless begging for money everywhere you go. I grow up here all my life never seen anything like it before. I live one mile from 44th and division in Kentwood it's the samething
wow...Leon that is too bad and I hope things get better where you are living....getting as far away from Division as possible is always a plus. Good luck man!
I live in Byron center
Samr
Great videos for someone thinking about moving to Grand Rapids area. Jim’s channel is the best resource that pretty much covers every area in and around Grand Rapids.
Thank you so much Suraj! Glad you are enjoying the videos.
You do look a little rough and the lighting could be better. Probably do it in the summer with warming weather on location
lol...I agree! Yes that is my plan...thanks for the comment!
WHAT! Can you please post some pictures of the Lowell Transit System. Owned a business her for 20 years and I have not seen one of their buses yet. Do they run at night?
Cliff, LOL! you are right and I'm sorry...I will say the same thing to you that I did Nancy....This is the only video where I hired a fact finder to do some research...clearly a mistake on my part....I have been to New Union Brewery and they only had popcorn....anyway sorry for the mistake and I know Lowell well and even tried to develop some land there years back and I have lived in Grand Rapids area for over 20 years! ALso have seen many great football games in Lowell! Hope all is well with you! Jim
Did Pontiac name its Biggest, most Luxurious Car, 1971-1975, Grandville after your town? Was it built there?
HI Craig....it was not built here and the city was named after the Grand River! What a unique question! Thanks and where are you from?
where do you live in byron center
Hi! I don't live in BC...I have spent a lot of time there and sold many properties in the city. All my friends that do live there love it! What about you?
I watched this right after your Eastown video. Give me E-town every time!!
lol....Yea East Town is a lot of fun! Do you live there?
Thank you for mentioning our high walkability!
sorry for the late response...been sick for awhile! No worries and it is VERY walkable! Hope all is well with you!
Grandville st Is the bests
Grandville is a very nice city...Do you live there?
@@livingingrandrapidsmichiga9118 Idont live there .i usto live In gr AND Byron Center .late 80sarly90s
Born and raised North Wyoming. 25 years. We need more families and less single renters 😁
Matt, sorry for the late response...been sick! It's a very fair point! I have a rental in that area so I know what you're saying! Ha! Ha! The good thing is that the price of homes has appreciated so much that it's too expensive to buy for rentals so that should help! Do you own a house in Wyoming?
@@livingingrandrapidsmichiga9118 yes. Wouldn't have it any other way.
@@mattf3761 Very cool! It's nice that we can enjoy the city again now without too many covid restrictions! I also agree and wouldn’t live anywhere else!
Yeah the weather is fantastic as well. Division street still thriving ?
Division is getting better and better every year but there are still parts that are a little "rough"! Do you live in Wyoming?
Just came across your video and wanted to wish you good luck on your losing weight journey! I put on some weight during Covid too and have been working hard to get back to being healthier.
Wow! That was very kind of you! Yes its getting better and better! I'm fortunate that I enjoy working out so that helps but we all know its about what you eat! Hope you are doing well! Do you live in Grand Rapids?
Thank you so much Jim for helping me with some questions and concerns that I have about the home buying process and being a first time home buyer. You were very pleasant to speak with and I would recommend you to anyone desiring to relocate to the state of Michigan!
Thank you so much Kim! It been great talking with you as well and I look forward to you coming to Michigan!
Was curious as to what a lot of East GR residents tend to do for work, as it seems to be a more upper class area. Looks like a great town and would love to raise a family there.
Hi Mitchell, sorry for the late response...been sick for awhile! It runs the gamut of who lives in East. Yes there are a lot of very wealthy people in East but I would say the majority is 2 hard working parents that have good jobs. EX. Wife is a teacher and Husband an attorney or vice versa. Ex. Wife is a realtor and husband is a Electrician
Bullying starts in high school; adults remain in that childish mindset so bullying is carried into the workplace here. It sucks here.liberal stronghold, sanctuary city, swingers…
Yikes! I take it you don't like it here....Are you still in GR?
A liberal stronghold? That's absolutely not the Grand Rapids (and surrounding communities) that existed when I moved out of Michigan in 1995 (followed a job opportunity). SW Michigan had always been conservative/religious/red territory. I still have family there. They tell me it hasn't changed much. Was born in GR in 1964 at St. Marys hospital. It was far too conservative for me when I was there.
lol you don’t even know how to spell it in the thumbnail…
How Kind of you to notice...I have a guy from Fiverr that makes those for me but I should have caught it! Do you live in Byron CENTER?
@@livingingrandrapidsmichiga9118 Yes I do
@@upbeatproductions7614 Do you enjoy living in BC? What would you change if you could?
@@livingingrandrapidsmichiga9118 Yes, I love living in BC. It’s a great little community. I’m fairly new here, as I moved here in November 2020, so I’m not totally sure what exactly I would change. Maybe the high school start time, I’d rather have it start at 8:00 instead of 7:55, because that extra 5 minutes is nice.
@@upbeatproductions7614 I hear ya and every minute in the AM is key! Glad you're enjoying it and if you ever have real estate questions feel free to reach out! Have a great Summer!
I've enjoyed your videos, but you look absolutely terrible in this one. I'd seriously consider reshooting it or replacing your image w/ B roll.
Ehh. This video would be better with more pictures of the town and maybe showcasing some places there. It's all very generic and you can say the exact same things about several other outlying communities.
Hey Thomas, sorry for the late response...been sick for awhile! Its hard to come up with all new stuff when the cities are not that much different but I will work on doing a better job! Do you live in Byron Center?
I used to live in the Oakdale neighborhood in the 70s. It was not a great neighborhood then, I’m not too sure about it now. Before that, I grew up in East Town.
Very cool! Oakdale has improved a lot since then and getting nicer every year. East town is a great area and a lot of fun! Where do you live now?
@@livingingrandrapidsmichiga9118 I live in North Muskegon now. My wife works in Whitehall, and I work in Holland. So, it's not too bad. We're just a few miles from Muskegon State Park.

Hey Brian, sorry for the late response...been sick for awhile! It all depends on what you like...Kentwood had a lot to offer but I would not say its the best area! Do you live in Kentwood?

Everyone knows that the best side is the westside
Hey Roger! How long have you lived on the Westside and what do you like about it?
@@livingingrandrapidsmichiga9118 Many years. The parks and stores, plus all the Bars on the W. Side. Putt-Putts and Joey's are Landmarks neighborhood Bars on Fulton St. with great food ! The Westside now runs all the way out to about Remembrance Rd. and the houses are all nice in that area too. And yup, we have plenty of churches too if you are so inclined. Plenty of real nice Condos can be found about Richmond Ave. and Oakleigh Road. What best describes the W. Side though is that for the most part the people here own their own houses and they maintain them too. Less crime on the W. Side but things are getting a bit dicey about Leonard St and Alpine Ave. lately.
@@aar5pj WOW! Roger, I wish we could have talked before I did this video! The next time I do I will have to interview you and get the perspective of someone that has lived there and knows it so well! I've had more than a few frosty beverages at Putt-Putts! Again thanks for all the great knowledge and I hope things are going great for you! If you ever have any questions about real estate let me know as I'm here to help!
I grew up at 2138 Floyd street in Wyoming, and I hear the neighborhood has gone to crap. Very different from when I was there.
Its still a nice area and that house now depending on the finish level would be worth $215,000-$235,000. Where do you live now?
@@livingingrandrapidsmichiga9118 Now I'm in Troutdale Oregon. Just east of the beautiful Columbia River Gorge, and as far away from Portland as I can be, while still being in the 'metro area'.
@@russf6572 lol.. Oregon is a great State and it's a shame what has gone on in Portland! I see you are a UM fan...I'm a State Grad and bleed green and white but congrats on beating Ohio State! That was one of the best football games I've seen and you guys deserve to be #2!
@@livingingrandrapidsmichiga9118 If I wasn't an old fart who grew up watching Bo Schembechler every year, I might have been a 'State' fan. I never hated MSU. It was just that my heart was already taken. Yes! That win last week was very sweet. For both of us after the way they treated _"little brother"_ the week before.
@@russf6572 lol. very nice! Hope we both have great seasons next year!
Growing up in Wyoming in the 70's, I got the best of what that area had to offer. During summers, every Tuesday night at the 'Beltline Drive-In Theater' was Eberhard's night. $0.50 for as many people as you could jam into a car. I'll bet I didn't miss more than a handful my whole life, and I don't think I ever watched a single movie. It was all a big party. Walking around from car to car, visiting, drinking, smoking joints. Every summer WLAV (radio) would sponsor the raft race. Another huge party with live music. I moved to Oregon in 1987, but I'll never forget the great times I had growing up in Wyoming Michigan.
Hey Russ, Sorry for the late response..I was sick for awhile and walked away from UA-cam...Thanks for sharing and that sounds like a great time! I was born in 74 so a little before my time but it sounds a like a great place to grow up!
Good picture of Wyoming, though it's not exactly an endorsement! Might be good for adults w/o kids who need a reasonably priced home.
I try to be as fair as possible...its a nice area and I have sold many homes to people with kids but there are a lot of rentals in there area and the schools are good not great!
@@livingingrandrapidsmichiga9118 kelloggsville sucks I went there and it sucked bad school wouldn't recommend it to anyone
@@leonhudson1653 well time me how you really feel! Hahaha...Hopefully, it's better now....if you could choose where would you go now?
@@livingingrandrapidsmichiga9118 I graduated in 2000. But I don't know now but kelloggsville has to be the last place I would go. I didn't get the proper help in the school that I need got pushed through school graduated we e's and d's still full don't know how to read very well. In school I messed with and the teacher looked the other way. I rarely fought back but when I did I got into trouble for it. I tried to just keep to my self but that did work. My brother in middle school had a teacher that pick on him all the time yelled at him my mother sat in the class to find out what was going on and my brother was in his set and quite and before the teacher came in the door of the class room she yelled at my brother to sit down and be quite when he wasn't loud or doing anything at all. The other students were loud and out of there set. They show perefence in students and treat other like shit. I had this all throughout my school years. It wasn't just me but other as well.

LRTA is in Massachusetts! 🤣 New Union Brewery does not serve food.
More deadly accurate internet information.
sorry for the late response....This is the only video where I hired a fact finder to do some research...clearly a mistake on my part....I have been to New Union Brewery and they only had popcorn...i didn't mean to imply they had food. thanks for catching the mistake about LRTA as that was a huge fail on my part!
Great video, dude!

Ever since moving to Grand Rapids I have been forced to work as a low wage contractor with no benefits and paying my employers payroll taxes for them.
Sorry to hear that Daniel....Construction is booming in west Mi....when you have time see if other contractors are hiring and hopefully you get w a better one. What's your favorite thing about Grand Rapids?
