Anyone else feel this way? Household incomes average around $72,693 in St. Clair Shores. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Worth the trade-offs? Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The suburbs are where most families end up.

I've lived in Lakewood for about 3 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I genuinely enjoy living here. When I first moved here from Chicago, I was surprised by cost of living. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Good healthcare facilities
- Good airport with direct flights
- The outdoor recreation scene is improving
The downsides:
- Traffic during rush hour is rough
- Winters are long and cold
Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for singles. Feel free to reach out with questions..
