    "lapeer looks nice on the outside but it has darkness on the inside. there are very few activities that cater to the people of the town. those activities get cut in half in the winter. drugs run rampant in the city making it very easy to get in the hands of children. the high schools have history of drug overdoses. The school system is flawed and can't support the staff or properly educate the children within the district either."

    "Very personal but I’m a friendly person so I get to know those around me. I live in a close community so everything is accessible. But I miss the country view hoping to soon move out to the country side once again. "

    "We live on about 12 acres in the country. Our dogs LOVE it here 🙂 There are several homes in our "neighborhood" with acreage with plenty of room for dogs, horses, cows and other "pets" 😉 If living in a thriving community is your thing, Lapeer is s great place to be. With many homes available within walking distance of the many dog friendly parks, and an abundance of walking paths and sidewalks. If you prefer the country, or a lake home, Lapeer has that too, and as long as you're willing to leash your pups and pick up their "business", they'll be welcomed in Lapeer 😎"
