I've been living here for about 6 years and it has been such a pleasant neighborhood to live in. It is quiet, calm and quite cute. We have such a great transportation system here, great grocery stores that are walkable, we have beautiful scenery and trails, restaurants are at walkable distance and downtown is only a 15 minute bus ride or 10 minute driver.

I have been living in Hillsdale for quite sometime. While local businesses are blooming so is crime. I my self have seen multiple accounts of assault. In front of the high school you can see fights occurring. And drugs have began to flood the high school, leading for high schoolers to deal drugs to middle schoolers.

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.
