Random thought, We have two kids and The median home value here is around $399,100, which seems about average. Household incomes average around $110,938 in Novi. Homes are going for about $399,100 on average. You can expect to pay around $1,696 for rent here. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Should I be concerned? The suburbs are where most families end up. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is safety. it exceeded my expectations. Worth doing your research before committing.

As someone who grew up here, I love the pace of life here. A lot has changed in the past few years though. community vibe used to be much stable but now it's tough.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value public transit, you'll love it. The school system is genuinely solid and I've found it's improved dramatically in recent years. My neighborhood (North) is manageable and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Miami, be prepared for the culture shock. cost of living is completely different here. And Homeless population growing downtown.
My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. it's not perfect but it works for me. Internet is pretty good in most areas.
