DO NOT Move to the Detroit Suburb of Novi Michigan

[@ΣταύροςΜαργαρίτης-δ7ω]

my friend paul you are doing a fantastic job. I would like to say that i have heard that michigan is a realy beautiful state so it would be a fantastic idea to do a video for the most beautiful places in michigan or even the most beautiful cities in michigan.

[@JTMarlin8]

Moving to SE Michigan in a few years from California. The most expensive real estate in Michigan is 30 cents on the dollar in comparison. Can't wait.

Nice! Reach out if you're looking in my area: www.movingmi.com

@@PaulWolfert Looking to move my business (light manufacturing). How difficult is it to find two adjacent parcels with one zoned for residential and the other zoned for light industrial? Alternatively, how difficult is to split a parcel and rezone one of them? Looking in the areas just south of Novi. I want to be in the sticks with lots of acreage, but can't be too far from suppliers in Livonia/Novi/Wixom.

Hello, I’m moving to Michigan soon I need some help to find a place to rent. I will be working in Redford and Dearborn I will need to be at least 20min away from those towns

[@surmatise]

I live an hour north but have worked in Novi at Comau for a combined 7 years out of the last decade. Looked at houses there to shorten my drive but the price of houses there are outrageous. Planning on moving to howell to at least cut my commute in half.

[@rosaliebolling2546]

When I moved there in 2004, I was looking for a new appliance at Lowe’s and they asked for my zip code to see what kind of credit I could get. Just from the zip code they gave me 2k credit. That never happened living in Royal Oak or Ferndale.

[@PaulWolfert]

I've never heard of that. Maybe it was based on the store?

My folks left Michigan in 81 because of the recession and the winters. Had no idea some of the areas are that pricey. What do people do for work now that most of the car jobs are gone?

[@ronhoover5516]

The car jobs aren't gone. Maybe the factory jobs somewhat, but those ebb and flow. Even outside of the Big 3, auto suppliers still employ hundreds of thousands across the greater metro Detroit area. Auto suppliers need knowledge workers by the score to get parts from Point A to Point B and manage all that data. Many white blue and gray collar jobs there. That likely will never change, at least not totally.

[@mariahspain7799]

I wonder if they are lumping part of commerce, walled lake, wixom into that size. Because from my experience growing up in the area 12oaks is about 2min away from walledlake proper. Just a short drive down old novi road. But really growing up out there everything is so close together it hard to tell them apart.

[@mariahspain7799]

2 exit up from 12oaks is wixom road... home of secret Target.

[@HaloReachMaster11]

My family moved to Michigan about 7 months ago. Its been a Shocker in a lot of ways. Your videos have HELPED a lot understanding the area. Have you done a video on Commerce, MI.? I would Love your thoughts. Thank You Paul!

[@PaulWolfert]

Not yet but I will DEFINITELY cover Commerce.

What county does novi reside in?

Novi is in Oakland County Michigan

[@theflamekid]

I am going to move to Novi from Europe for work. Its for 2 years so I probably look for a place to rent? Or are there other options? I actually dont really know where to start. You have some tips?

[@trekkie1981]

Rent is your best bet! Long term extended hotels are available too.

[@theflamekid]

@@trekkie1981 thank you very much! I will look into it.

[@sharrelson3344]

So inflation, gas prices and the current market it's best to stay where you are. Thanks.

I've lived here my whole life. I love it when people move here and whine about everything. PS Novi used to be a train station to a no name town. It was called station number 6. Heinz NOVI

[@PaulWolfert]

The train station story is actually a myth. I talked about it in my "Everything you need to know about Novi Michigan" video 😅kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHTOn36Pl9qprJo

[@gumby48187]

Not a myth. My grand parents and great grand parents rode the trains. They came up with some BS about it named after a girls name or the mayors wife at the time came up with the name. It was the number 6 toll gate. Heniz NOVI

[@PaulWolfert]

@@gumby48187 "A similar tale of equal popularity, albeit not as logical, has the town named after TollGate No. VI on Grand River (or the old Detroit-Howell) Road. Unfortunately for this theory, the toll road was not built for another twenty-two years after the town was already named."

[@sgillman16]

@@gumby48187 it is a myth. The city was named Novi before that train station existed

[@taleseduardolima]

Novi and Troy are the blandest, most pauteurized suburbs of Metro Detroit. Other than for the schools, can’t understand why people want to live there.

[@suzannedove8603]

And the traffic is HORRIBLE.

[@RainbowBoo42]

Novi, MI Where your neighbors aren’t just racist their RICH and racist. The klan hoods here are made by Chanel.

[@williamsullivan4614]

Novi and West Bloomfield are nice areas but, way too expensive.

[@BillyT531]

All fairly accurate. Lots of middle and upper-middle automotive managers. LOTS of Asians...the local Kroger has a significant food section dedicated to Japanese cuisine. Overzealous police department; the police chief was sued several years ago by a famous local attorney. Finally, lots of POSERS...think nouveau riche.

[@mitulsanikal8383]

I swear novi is FULL of Asians and Indians, you can’t go anywhere with out seeing one person of Asian/Indian descent
