Grand Rapids, Michigan is definitely not a pedestrian friendly city, nor are the streets well lit. The winters receive 70+ inches of snow. They are cold, dark, and blistering. Though local busing is very available, the wait areas are open to the elements and not lighted at night. Additionally, the cost of living is relatively high, housing ranges, in many areas,well above $250,000 to purchase while rent can range between $850 and $1600 monthly. Grand Rapids has a city income tax. Michigan has both, a state income tax and sales tax. Medical care is available, with top notch hospitals and care facilities, but, like all medical costs, they are drive by insurance companies and their own profits. Nonetheless, Grand Rapids seems very attractive to 25-45 year old age groups.
