Royal Oak, Michigan - 11/16/2008
I love Royal Oak most for it's diversity and sense of community. Oakland County, Michigan, and "the Mitt", for that matter, are beautiful areas with some of the prettiest green space in the country. Unfortunately the auto industry is tanking and many have left Michigan for warmer climates and better opportunities. My home is worth less than half I currently owe on it. Jobs are difficult, if not impossible to come by now. As much as I love my town, I would not recommend relocating Read More

Downtown Royal Oak - 10/27/2007
My husband & I love living in downtown Royal Oak. His office is less than a half a mile away, so he walks most of the time. We live within walking distance to gyms, shops, restaurants, post office, farmers market, library, yoga studio and even a community college. It is a great place to live most of the time. We would like to see more "regular" retail clothing and home stores. Most of the shops here are boutique style shops. Royal Oak attracts a lot of people from nearby cities looking for a cool place to go out at night or on the weekend. We would also like to see improvement in safety for pedestrians since the area is attracting more and more people who want a walkable Read More
