Is South Lyon a safe place for my family?

South Lyon I would say is a very safe place.  It is on the edges of Metro Detroit suburbs to the point the surrounding communities to the west are more rural.  Full of lakes, woods, and fields.  The towns to the west are less populated.  You are far enough away from the higher crime communities that you will not get spillover crime.  South Lyon is a safe place for any family.  You are only going to be exposed to random crime.  You are not going to experience abandoned burnt out homes.  There are no gangs roaming the streets.  The cartels or the mob does not have a presence in South Lyon.   It's a safe community for you and your family to live.  I do not think you are going to ever experience the type of crime you see in the big inter cities like Los Angeles, St Louis, or Chicago.  There are no drive by shootings, no car jackings, no murders every month.  It is a nice place to call home.
