You are forgetting about the Downriver area! Close to the airport and Detroit, but very safe. I moved to South Florida in 2000. Lived in Broward County for 23 years. I desperately wanted to come back to the Downriver area. I paid cash for my Southgate home. $222k and my house is all that and a bag of chips! I'm originally from Allen Park. Michigan is the BEST!

Great video. I grew up in Novi and Northville in the 60’s and graduated from Northville High School in 1973. Great places to live but they were small little country towns at that time. Update, Northville Downs is in the process of being torn down for new businesses and condos. they say it is progress, but I find it very sad.

[@Sues007]

Funny how "progress" seems to bring things down sometimes! I agree...

[@michelleferrero8206]

I'm surprised West Bloomfield didn't make the list.

[@PaulWolfert]

One of my offices (and my studio) is in West Bloomfield - A lot of nice homes but it's such a big city, the values are spread all over. There are 125 homes for sale right now in West Bloom from 90k all the way to 5Million! It's wild.

Back in the day when I used to paint for a living, I worked at Art Vans house. That’s one of my favorite homes.

[@PaulWolfert]

Where was it?

[@stevevlahos1]

Gross pointe shores I believe. It was right on the water. All limestone. It sold for $3.9 million at auction. Was a steal.

[@unlisted8042]

Another great video.

[@PaulWolfert]

Thank you!!

[@gregschulte2953]

I've been watching your videos and they're very helpful. Looking to buy a summer home in MI as family is there. Driving around we found Oakland Township and Bloomfield Hills very livable due to more elbow room.

[@PaulWolfert]

Hi Greg! Thanks for watching! Bloomfield and Oakland are great! Reach out when you're ready - www.movingmi.com

[@aeconsulting1]

Lake Angelos: that expensive house for $4 Million is in the Pontiac school district - no thanks. The most expensive houses are in Oakland Township, close /nearby the Billion Dollar mile.

[@PaulWolfert]

A lot of my buyers in the Birmingham/Bloomfield districts still send kids to private school.

[@lyannastark628]

Paul, I love your obsession with tennis courts even though you don't play :)

[@PaulWolfert]

😂😂 I can't stop pointing them out.

[@DrewCowlishaw-ci8bw]

I'd think Rochester/Rochester Hills should be getting close to your top 10?

[@Sues007]

Rochester and Troy! It is all so expensive. What will happen when houses are being built again? Will these prices still maintain the value?

No ons is moving here from texas.

[@kevinyouyc4390]

I am too

🎄Nice

[@PaulWolfert]

Thanks!

[@sp-bl1sl]

Yeah, you can bike from Bloomfield Hills to Birmingham if you want to die.

[@BonnieWinters-tb5pm]

How much is the house on 15537 Stockton drive Clinton township who owns it

[@PaulWolfert]

That's an oddly specific request. You should be able to use Whitpages.com to check the current ownership.

[@andrews6194]

Love your videos and your input and watched all your videos before I moved here last year. But! Some of the ugliest homes I’ve ever seen are all here in Michigan. I’ve lived in 10 states and Michigan is easily the worst place to buy a house if you’re looking for looks for location. The upkeep on houses in the metro Detroit area over the years are terrible. Love the state but metro Detroit needs to step it up. You’re not finding a nice house for under 600k. And the single story houses are so hideous but they are everywhere here.

[@PaulWolfert]

Thank you for watching! Where did you end up buying? Next time you move, call me! 😀

[@lyannastark628]

Curious to know what you define as a "nice house"?

[@PaulWolfert]

@@lyannastark628 I'd like to know too 😅

[@kimberlyhendren2097]

Michigan has some of the most beautiful homes. I am from MI and I have lived all over the country as well. There's ugly homes in all states. Lol. Michigan has the most beautiful older victorians. I love the houses in Michigan. I also love the newer construction homes and Plymouth, MI has stunning homes as well and a pretty downtown area with tree-lined streets. Ann Arbor too.

[@PaulWolfert]

@@kimberlyhendren2097 yes! I agree 😀

[@zerocool9135]

You must be nuts tto spend millions on a house to impress who?

[@jeff022889]

Expensive, yes. Overpriced, no

[@zipperpillow]

It's all irrelevant, because you still live in Michigan, which is wet and grey and sloppy 6 months of the year and there are no views or culture, no local music, no Art, no trails or bike paths. Your life will be a series of parking lots, commuting in rude traffic, through ugly, overbuilt, rundown places, paved over in endless parking lots filled with cars full of selfish people in a hurry to get nowhere, where they do nothing interesting. Enjoy.

[@PaulWolfert]

Ah, the eternal struggle of living in Michigan. But hey, at least we get to experience all four seasons to the fullest! The wet and grey winters make those sunny summer days even more enjoyable. And who needs bike paths when you can kayak on the lakes?

[@zipperpillow]

What lakes? The ones 100% ringed by other people's unimaginative houses, with no public access? Even the St. Clair River is wall-to-wall houses (on the American side) so there is no "commons". You are always in somebody else's backyard. What sort of quality of life is that? Neo-serfdom? It's not a struggle, it is a defeat of Public Interest.@@PaulWolfert

[@ErinDindoffer]

Grosse Pointer here, who lives very close to Lake St. Clare, the houses are not right on top of each other-we happen to have a large yard; and if that's not good enough for you, perhaps you should live in the country. We do have art, the DIA (Detroit Institute of Arts) was ranked the number one Art museum in the country. You should take another look downtown because there have been a great number of improvements. Some neighborhoods on the immediate outskirts of Detroit have seen better days, but Michigan in general is northing to how you've described it. If you think it's so awful, where are you from, and why is it better?

[@zipperpillow]

@@ErinDindoffer Your first 3 words couldn't be more revealing. It's up to YOU to make it better, because your ilk are who have made it sh*t. Look at Cadillac's maps, and the "imported from over-crowded France's idiotic notion of settlement", that was overlaid upon ancient Odawa, Ojibwa, Fox, Potawatomi, and Miami village sites. Instead of central communities organized around access to crucial resources like fishing spots, firewood gathering, beachfront, and drinking water creeks that don't freeze over, the French government imposed a plan of long, thin, "ribbon-farms", cheek-to-jowl with your neighbor, just enough waterfront for a canoe landing, or a dock, whose land holding stretched behind it a mile deep, but only 100 or 200 feet wide, and later subdivided even thinner! So f*cked up! No wonder the French "culture" failed so miserably in Detroit and Canada. Their citizens were shackled to an imbecilic land-use plan whose assinine ideology and legacy still violences our potential for an improved quality of life for everyone, today. Unlivable neighborhoods. No common grounds. No green belts. Just cars, cars, cars and more cars, driving to sh*tholes without views, without access to sunlight, without distance from someone else's muffler exhaust, or engine sounds. You live in a parking lot, no matter how much money you have. There are NO nice places in Detroit. It feels like an opportunity that Ruzzia has so many nukes targeted to land here and burn it. But maybe you like being in your car, listening to what gives you comfort against the gray, dirty, uninspired, all-surrounding monuments to traffic management and grind-culture? To each, his own. Enjoy.

@@ErinDindoffer The DiA is the 5th largest public art museum in the country? I suspect zipper is the type of person who would not be happy anywhere.
