We just moved here from California in February 2021 and I really love this town. For making such a big change in geography, I feel very comfortable here. It’s definitely a more high-end town/city. The houses are well maintained, with quality architecture and beautiful landscapes. The neighborhoods are very cute, like being in a Hallmark movie. Some of the homes are amazing mansions. The town center is full of nice restaurants, classy shops, spas and salons, etc. You won’t feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere while living here. Also, the city is so close to everything! I love being able to be 5 minutes away from grocery stores, doctors and hospitals, restaurants, etc. I love walking around this town. It’s just beautiful and the atmosphere seems very safe. Yes, there are some snobby people, but I guess that’s the influence that makes it so nice! I consider this to be the La Jolla of Michigan for those who understand the reference. Minus the ocean!
It's a nice city. There's plenty of things to do around town, with solid architecture and engaging businesses. The school system is good, public services are in top shape, and the neighborhoods are very cute! Overall, an enjoyable place to be.
Birmingham is simply the best Michigan has to offer. The best homes, schools, restaurants, parks, nightlife and more. Perfectly located and close to everything.
