Jackson Michigan, Parma User Rating 4 rating By annadilynn ( May 28, 2013) awesome if you like to live in the country and be close to a city. Very quiet and safe :0). I enjoyed being able to leave my windows open at night in the summertime and not worry about my safety. the neighbors are friendly and helpful. you can walk you dog or take him to the many ...Read More lakes in the area. there is a paved walk that follows where an old rail line use to run. It takes you across a lake! its beautiful. It stretches for at least 10 miles through the country. plenty of wildlife to see and a great place to be. Read Less
