South Lyon is a very quaint, tight knit community. It is safe and the schools are very good! It has alot to offer with it's proximity to many Metroparks and the expressway. Very close to Ann Arbor and other communities that allow for easy access to what they have to offer. Our downtown district has been improving slowly, but I would like to see many more improvements to the downtown infrastucture, so that others want to visit our community more often to bring in more commerce to South Lyon.
I have lived in South Lyon, MI for about 12 years now and it is such a great little town. There are a lot of new homes being built, so we are slowly growing. We have a great small downtown area with new arising local business. South Lyon has a wonderful school district and great people all around. As for the town as a whole, there are not many things to do for kids and teens. We have a bowling alley, a park or two, but other than that there is not much to do. The town needs more things for people to do and keep occupied with. There are a couple of local restaurants with pretty good food, but there aren't very many options. We have a ton of pizza places and fast food restaurants that aren't great all the time. We have 3 main grocery stores that are great!
It was a small town that has quickly grown. It is a desirable area due to location and schools. It is a family friendly town with a farmers market and quaint downtown area. There are many local shops to choose from. There are lots of local events from the farmers market to the annual Pumpkinfest. South Lyon has one of the best apple orchard around that has a huge play area for the kids and the best cider donuts around!
