Curious what people think. I relocated for work and Median household income is $119,054, which feels pretty solid for the area. Poverty rate is 3.5%, which is pretty low. Homes are going for about $377,400 on average. With a population of 76,086, Rochester Hills is a smaller city. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The weather takes some getting used to. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The suburbs are where most families end up. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.
