CNN Names 6 Mich. Cities Best Places To Live

POSTED: Monday, July 14, 2008
UPDATED: 5:20 pm EDT July 14, 2008

CNNMoney.com has announced its list of America's best small cities in which to live, and even with a sagging economy, six Michigan cities made the list.

Troy was ranked the best Michigan city, snagging the No. 22 spot on the list, Ann Arbor came in at 27, West Bloomfield ranked 36, Novi grabbed No. 48 and it was a close call for Sterling Heights at 61 and Shelby Township at 62.

The list includes detailed city profiles, including homes for sale, health, education, quality of life, culture, weather and divorce statistics.

Troy was credited with having some of the highest-ranked schools in Michigan, great community culture, safe streets and a great place to raise a family.

The article touts West Bloomfield's luxury living, with lakefront property and higher-than-average home costs. Also West Bloomfield will soon gain an expansion of Detroit's Henry Ford Hospital, bringing another 1,600 jobs to the area.

Cultural diversity, green space and the convergence of three major expressways makes Novi a great place to live, according to CNN.

Sterling Heights and Shelby Township pride themselves in being family friendly and safe cities, with award-winning school districts.

However, the article mentions that many Sterling Heights residents work in the auto industry and have felt the pinch of the Big Three's layoffs.
