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 a diversity suburb of Detroit that offers great job and housing opportunities, as well as great places for families to visit and a great nightlife! People in Southfield are welcoming and diverse in political and religious affiliations.
Southfield is an AWESOME place to live! It is sometimes UNFAIRLY compared to Detroit. Southfield IS NOT Detroit and IS IN NO WAY similar to Detroit. Southfield is a different and BETTER world! It is safe, clean, beautiful, racially harmonious, thriving and peaceful. It is a multicultural suburb and the people who live here get along quite well and do our very best to give it there all to ensure that it is very well maintained in every way possible. I have lived in Southfield for the past 18 years and it is still the same beautiful amazing suburb it has always been. And did I mention our Police Department? The Southfield Police Department is THE BEST in the world. We LOVE our cops! They do not profile, practice or tolerate fascism. The only place I could imagine living other than Southfield is Grosse Ile, Beverly Hills, West Bloomfield Township or Farmington Hills! Southfield has been touched by the hand of God for sure. We are a VERY uniquely BLESSED community!
