Detroit vs Metro Detroit Suburbs: Where Should You Live?

Thinking about moving to Detroit Michigan or relocating to Metro Detroit? One of the biggest decisions you’ll need to make is whether you should live inside the city of Detroit or choose one of the surrounding Metro Detroit suburbs. Detroit and the suburbs can offer very different lifestyles. Living in the city may give you closer access to downtown energy, restaurants, sports, concerts, the Riverfront, historic neighborhoods, and cultural attractions. Living in the suburbs may offer more space, different housing options, everyday convenience, shopping centers, parks, and a more spread-out lifestyle depending on the area you choose. In this video, I compare Detroit vs Metro Detroit suburbs and break down the biggest differences between city living and suburban living — including lifestyle, housing, cost, commute, transportation, walkability, amenities, pace of life, and how to decide which option fits your day-to-day routine.
