Great City

I lived in Livonia most of my life and it's a pretty decent city! The schools are good, there are plenty of parks. There are 3 public pools, a couple of golf courses and the roads are improving. The only thing I didn't like was going to Stevenson with all the spoiled, rich kids. Thats the odd thing about Livonia.. if you start off in the southeast corner (by Westland and Redford) homes are around 150,000-200,000 if you go northwest through the city the homes go up to 500,000 in that corner of the city. One the subject of housing with the economy struggling a bit homes are going up for rent now and renters are coming from Detroit.
Overall, the city is great! Nice houses, tons of parks and recreation opportunities for kids of all ages. Not to mention the new state-of-the-art Recreation center, outdoor rollar hockey rink and ballparks abundant. The high schools all have special things about them. Churchill has a creative and performing arts program, Stevenson has a global education program and Franklin... I cant remember (its been a few years, sorry). There are 2 nice movie theaters, plenty of places to go out to eat at and you're close enough to some bigger cities (ann arbor & Detroit) without having to deal with the problems. I would recommend it. Hope you'll give it a chance!
