How safe is Traverse City?

A very safe small Michigan coastal city with lots of restaurants and an active tourist downtown. Crime is low. There is not a lot of nightlife as in places to dance, but plenty of bars, cocktail places, and coffee and bookstores.

Traverse City is an extremely safe Hallmark movies type of town. Many people do not lock their doors and it's very friendly towards tourists as that is our main economy. Midwesterners are very nice people overall

Traverse City, MI is a very safe destination. I walk around downtown regularly with no worries. It is a small city with low crime rates compared to other areas of Michigan. I feel comfortable camping, hiking, visiting the local wineries, going out to dinner or bars. It is a safe community.
