Erie Reviews
Rating 3.46 out of 5 386 reviews
I have loved living in Erie with a great education scene, many niche shops and restaurants, and beautiful parks. I especially love Presque Isle and its beaches!
My experience so far is its great place to retire and raise settle down with a family. It is not ideal for people who love to travel and have vast opportunities. The city itself is very behind verse many other cities even hours away. The city could use improvement in tourist attractions, investment properties, and real estate along with remodeling schools streets and building.
I love living in Erie. Erie is my hometown and I enjoy coming to this town to visit my family when I come home from college. The city has always had a good job opportunity. I have never struggled to find a job in this city. Also, I love all of the beaches and the beautiful landscapes. My favorite place to visit in Erie is Presque Isle where I have many childhood memories. I would like to see change in the safety and crime rate. Though the area I live in is safe (Millcreek), some areas of the inner city have high crime rates. I think this needs to change because the crime is getting worse every year. Because of the crime rate, it makes Erie less family friendly. Overall, I love living here and I am proud to tell people that I am from Erie.
