212: (Rewind) What You NEED To Know About South Lyon Michigan!

Think Twice About Living In South Lyon Michigan - For those of you that aren’t too familiar with South Lyon, this 3.74 square mile city with around 12,000 people is smacked into the middle of Brighton, Milford, Novi, Salem and Whitmore Lake. Not to be confused with Lyon township which is about 32 square miles, with a population of over 21,000 people, South Lyon is located at the west side of the township, and two unincorporated communities: New Hudson and Kensington, which was once a former village, turned metro park make up the majority of the area. South Lyon is known for its charming downtown, schools, quality of life, along with the several annual events and pristine parks that I will chat more about going forward.   

If you’re in the southeast Michigan area, it’s fair to say that South Lyon doesn’t get as much hype as it deserves, the city is so often looked over with Brighton and Milford being in such close proximity. I think it has a lot to do with the expressway as you drive past all the city exits, you’re driving along east on I-96 and you pass the Kensington Road exit, then you pass the Kent lake South Lyon exit, and most people think Kent Lake is in Brighton or Green oak township but the majority of it is in Oakland County in Milford and Lyon township, then you hit the New Hudson exit that everyone calls Milford anyone, because it leads to Milford road and takes you right to Milford. That Kent Lake rd. exit is a popular one to follow along to get to the metro park, but if you just take that road and turn onto Pontiac Trail you’ll be able to fully immerse yourself in what the city of South Lyon has to offer.

Michigan—home of the Great Lakes, incredible fall colors, and approximately 10 million potholes per square mile, I mean people oops. Yet, while some of us are holding on to this mitten-shaped wonder for dear life, others are packing up faster than you can say "pure Michigan." But wait—here’s the twist—many of those who leave end up coming back! So, what’s going on?

Intro

Royal Oak, Michigan, is a vibrant city, with a bustling downtown and an even better nightlife, top-rated schools, and a strong sense of community, but just like most cities, it comes with its downsides and challenges. These are details you’re going to want to make note of.

When we think of Royal Oak, we think about the walkable downtown area, the nightlife when all the nearby cities are sleeping, the close knit living, the location and how it’s beautifully situated right on the Woodward corridor and is close to all the wonderful cities and offerings in Metro Detroit that we all know and love, the nearby expressways, while being less than 15 miles from downtown Detroit. Outside of all that, what is there an actual NEED to know? Well, you need to know it all of course and everything in between, so let this video be your one stop shop for all things Royal Oak.
