I love the city of Southfield! Beautiful tree lines streets, a dog leash law, safe neighborhoods, every possible store is in close proximity. The expressways are close and easily accessible. The police officers are friendly and respond in a timely fashion if needed. The community leaders are in the neighborhoods and the community is very diverse. Neighbors are friendly, but everyone kind of stays in their own lane. They are however, there if you need them. I've been a homeowner for 7 years and wouldn't want to live anywhere else. I love my city!
Southfield is an pretty decent city for the most and depending on what part you are in considering the fact that it is next to Detroit. So the closer you are to the Southfeild/Detroit border the city kind of goes down hill and dangerous, but the Southfield/Farmington side is much better and to me feels a lot safer.
