Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

I drive Baldwin, south of Montcalm everyday to get to work. Never had trouble. Wouldn't buy a house there, but not afraid to drive through there. I work in downtown Pontiac and that is fine. It is the area south of downtown and east of Woodward, west of Opdyke that it gets worse.

Answer 2

All right, as much as I hate to stereotype an area as "bad", I'll give you my opinion on a certain area of Pontiac. When I was in college in the early '90's, I volunteered for the Oakland County Historical Society at the old Governor's Mansion (that "wagon wheel" area of BR 24 and Cesar Chavez Ave). At that time, a lot of the human services buildings were also in that area and "the first of the month" always brought out a lot of "unique" individuals. The "older" volunteers were always very concerned for my safety...I don't know if that's because that area was really that bad, or if they were just a bunch of uptight, rich, white people.
