Hey folks, Median household income is $135,909, which feels pretty solid for the area. Homes are going for about $1,160,100 on average. The unemployment rate is 1.7%, which is pretty low. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. What neighborhoods would you suggest? Night life is decent if you know the right spots. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.

Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are decent, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem excellent.
I've been here 6 years and it's not perfect but it works for me. The thing nobody mentions is dating scene. It's pricey and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the healthcare is legit. And if you're into kayaking, this place is excellent.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Meadowbrook side vs the Highland side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
