Who lives near Troy, MI?

My job moved here from the Chicago area in 93 and I came along, very glad I did.

One big thing (besides keeping my job which I really liked) was that property values were lower here so my wife and I were able to get something that we really wanted that was just out of reach in Ill.

Whether you want to live in town or semi rural and have a little space you should be to find something you like, from modestly priced to sky's the limit.

In our case we found a nice place on 3 acres of partially wooded property on the edge of a small town. I was working in Troy, it was about a 33 mile drive that took a minimum of 40 minutes, traffic and weather conditions could push it up a bit.

There's also a pretty good car scene in S.E. Michigan, from May through Sept. you can find something going on every night of the week if you want to drive a little. There is a local publication called Cruisinews that lists most of it.

Plus there's the Detroit Autorama in Feb. or March every year, it's one of the best and oldest shows in the country.
