2021 Best Places to Live in Monroe County

Lambertville

• Suburb in Michigan
• Rating 3.97 out of 5  38 reviews

Current Resident: Being the town that I grew up in, it made me grow a connection to small towns in general. Don't worry though, because the main-part of Lambertville is a business center, with places like Kroger's, McDonald's, and Walgreen's. The town grows on you after awhile with its pine trees, non-traffic roads, and many small local businesses. With it's location being close to the highway and Ohio border, it makes commute to those locations a breeze...Read 38 Reviews
