I have lived in the area since 1991 and find my neighbors to be friendly and concerned about ensuring the property values remain high and crime remain low.

Downtown Detroit is a quick drive away and holds so many opportunities for employment. There are so many amazing hospitals in this area, as well as huge corporations. There are also theaters, sports stadiums, and many different restaurants ranging from small and convenient to expensive and extravagant.
