McNeill Rd. is still out far enough to be rural but close enough to enjoy all the life Huntsville has to offer. It is about a 25 minute commute to downtown and a 10 minute drive to stores and restaurants. The street is a little dead-end road, perfect for kids to play and bike. The are several new housing developments going up fairly close, but these will hopefully not effect the safe, tight-knit feeling of this little road. Development stay away!

Wentworth Ave. is located in the Lakeview area of Battle Creek. It is centrally located and withing walking distance of many restaurants and a grocery store, as well as a few specialty shops. It is within walking distance to a bus stop to easily get you to other areas of the city. Wentworth is located in the Lakeview School District which is well-regarded. There are sidewalks and minimal traffic to make bike riding and walking easy, and it a good street for children to play.

Wattles Road, in Emmett Township, is a mix between rural and urban life. The houses are large and most set on an acre or so of land. The street is pretty busy traffic-wise but still quiet and well-kept. The people are friendly and look out for one another. The only drawback is that the road is pretty busy and not good for bike riding or walking.

Industry and the local economy have suffered in the past few years as Battle Creek was a strong industrial town and my of those businesses are moving south or overseas. Battle Creek is trying to revitalize itself and move toward a more service-based economy.
