racing in troy... lol they pull you over and try to tow your car for tint, heaven forbit you get a drag racing ticket you can kiss your car good bye. troy is a nicer area though in some spots. also alot more expensive to live. unless it was a convenience thing there are many other nicer areas that you can live in.

i'm sorry to hear your moving to michigan though... the worst economic state in the country people can't wait to get out.

Troy is a very nice area, but can be a little high in price both for the house and Taxes. It seems like you could live with in a 60 mile radius of Detroit and only be 20 minutes from a Best Buy. I guess it would all depend on your price range and what type of house you are looking for, as to what would be a good area. Livonia has some very nice areas and can range from inexpensive to very high priced. It is also a good central location. Do you have any kids? That would make a difference as well depending on the school district you would want.
I sent you a P.M.

Farmington is a decent area, although I would go to Farmington Hills if you can swing it...or Northville for that matter. Crime isn't as bad as the West Michiganders seem to think it is...there just arent any people living over there, so they don't know how to deal with this many people There are hundreds of f-bod guys in S.E. Mich, i'm sure some of us will be able to show you around.

There is a Best Buy in Novi too, Novi's the next city west of Farmington Hills. Very nice, not as expensive as troy I think, but not the cheapest at all. Most people around here know it for the big/nice mall. It also has 3 major highways intersecting right here. The roads are also better than a lot of other metro detroit areas. The biggest down side for Novi is that all the cruises/shops/get to gethers are at least 30 mins east it seems like.

To be fair on the road thing, they do seem to be fixing a lot of the worst ones, so things are getting better.

Also, its definatly a buyer's housing market. Just wish I made enough to buy one.

Rush hour SUX in the whole Tri-county area. Really depends on where he winds up working and go from there.

www.realtor.com is a good sight to look at houses with out having to talk to a realtor rate away. You can even get directions to most of the houses and drive by to check out the area.

Most realty companies provide that service. Their sites are just interfaces to the same database you can get to via realtor.com. Personally, I've found that realtor.com has the best searching tools hooked up to the database.
