17. Alexander City, Alabama
Alexander City, or “Alex City” in the state of Alabama, is a beautiful town and a popular destination for nature lovers who come to spend time and enjoy its pride: the majestic Lake Martin.
The lake’s 750 miles of wooded shoreline and 44,000 acres of water makes it a great location for exciting outdoor activities that families and friends can enjoy, such as boating, fishing, swimming and camping. Its stunning views also attract prospective property buyers looking into settling in one of the many plush neighborhoods surrounding the lake.
But whatever your reasons are for visiting, it is important to know that Alexander City is one of the USA’s most dangerous cities, thanks to the high incidence of violent crime there. A 2017 FBI report said that Alexander City’s violent crime rate is over 3 times that of the national average.
