After 17 years, we recently moved away from Shelby Township. It used to be a terrific place to live with great schools and no crime -- but not anymore. Today it seems there is a new hookah bar on every block, a CVS or Rite Aid on every corner, and crazy traffic everywhere because the roads we not built to sustain 75,000 people. Add to this that the Township's police and fire retirement funding is a MESS, the police are only in a hurry when they need to turn on their sirens to run a red light, and the public schools are severely underfunded because of the recent change in student dynamics. We lived in a nice community of 3000+ square foot homes... and I imagine half of the homes there had been burglarized in the last 5 years, and we had a hard time finding anyone who wanted to buy a large house when we moved. Young couples do not want to live in Shelby! Did I mentioned the crooked politicians there? There is a reason that they are all being indicted and investigated by the FBI!
I love living here! The police and fire department are great, the houses are big and beautiful, the educational and work opportunities nearby are plentiful.
Aside from consistently heavy traffic, Shelby Township is a safe community with steady property values and plenty of dining. The traffic can be a bit tiresome, though. Also, it's quite far from central career hubs like Southfield, Royal Oak and Detroit, so you're likely going to be commuting a bit far.
