Noise | | town comparison vs. | | Best hospital | | Tourist attractions |
The most noise you may here is a plane flying into the neighboring town of Detroit. This is not all that bad tough. Besides the planes you really do not hear any other noises that you could not tolerate. | | I would compare Dearborn, MI to Detroit, MI. The drive time from one another is only about 10 minutes. Dearborn is on the outskirts of Detroit. I like the fact that Dearborn is a little smaller than Detroit but yet they still offer plenty of places to go shopping as well as plenty of restaurants. On the other hand the you can get homes a little cheaper in Detroit though. The residents in Detroit seem a little more rude to me than the residents in Dearborn. If i had to pick one place or the other i would choose Dearborn by far. The cost of living may be a little higher but the residents seem a bit nicer and the neighborhoods seem to be a lot safer. | | The Oakwood Hospital is the main hospital in Dearborn, MI. The hospital staff always are trying to keep their patients thinking positive. The hospital is about average as far as what they offer. | | I would check out The Henry Ford Museum if you are in the area. This museum is very neat and it also offers a lot of background on the town. |

There has been quite a few burglaries in this town although there are some nicer neighborhoods where no one has been bothered. I would say if you get into the nice neighborhoods that the people normally keep to themselves. That is the part i like because i am not the type that wants everyone always looking at my every move. For the most part this town is clean and they keep everything up kept. The downtown area is nice and the town does have nice landscaping int his part of town. Overall i would raise a family in this town and feel comfortable. I would just really check out the neighborhood before you decide to get a house. | | | | | | |
