Lake Orion, MI
Where living is a vacation -
12/28/2011We moved here from Ky 2 years ago. I absolutely love it, and outside of a job transfer, will never leave. The schools are exceptional, some of the highest test scores in the state. Downtown is full of kid friendly events, all year round. The lighted Christmas parade and the fireworks over the lake for 4th of July are two of my daughters favorites. The weather in Michigan is great, with all 4 seasons. There is a really low crime rate in Lake Orion, low enough that (until our dog passed) we didn't even lock our doors. Close to major malls, lot of restaurants, and other amenities, that I find I never really need to travel for anything at all. There is a wonderful miniature golf just down the street, an ice cream stand, the childrens park, complete with a stream full of ducks, and cider mills very close by as well. Wonderful place to raise a family.
