Day-to-day life in Royal Oak, MI
I grew up here but left for a while. You can expect to pay around $1,335 for rent here. The median home value here is around $305,900, which seems about average. Poverty rate is 2.3%, which is pretty low. With a population of 57,880, Royal Oak is a smaller city. The suburbs are where most families end up. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Property taxes are high but you get good services.
Pros:
- Great weather
- Friendly people
- Good schools
- Strong sense of community
- Active local events
Cons:
- Limited public transit
- Limited nightlife
- Boring for young people
- Limited cultural events
