Has potential but 2.5 rating By Melonnie13 ( Sep 17, 2017) This town has a ton of potential. Unfortunately, not enough progressive people live in Sweetwater so there are a handful of people doing ALL the work. The average summer temperature on this page is WRONG!!! It is 100+ in the summer and 90s on average. There are a few things to do ...Read More in Sweetwater, but it's a small town. Everyone there is married with kids or retired. It is NOT a town for young single professionals although it is close to several cities and easily accessible. There is a high crime rate but it's not violent. Mostly druggies stealing items to pawn or sell. If you live in Sweetwater you will make good, even great, friends. The community is welcoming and supportive, they just need more active people.
