It's very expensive renting, all though it's nice crime from downtown has began to come up into hillsdale. Being car jackings, robbery, and drugs.

Crime infested due to outbreaks of assault and drugs. Leading me to give it a poor rating. Now the high school is where all the gangs hangout now instead of students.

I have lived in Hillsdale county my whole life. The people make the county a safe, beautiful, encouraging place to raise children.
