What 3 Michigan Cities Are Among The 'Top 100 Best Places To Live In U.S.?

Troy, Michigan

Located outside of Detroit, Troy has a bunch to offer to people.

"Troy was named after its namesake city in New York and, indirectly, after the original ancient city of Troy. It’s a great place to start a family, thanks to the highly rated schools, including a stand-out fine arts program, along with a college and branches of several universities. Not to mention that Troy was voted the safest city in Michigan and the 19th-safest city in the whole country."

Rochester Hills, MI

Located 30 miles north of Detroit, Rochester Hills is a very picturesque community.

"There is plenty to do there, no matter what your idea of fun might be. Watch a concert, show or sporting event at the Meadow Brook Amphitheatre. Play golf on one of several courses or soak in nature at one of the many parks. Take in some history at the Rochester Hills Museum at Van Hoosen Farm or at the old-timey water-powered Yates Cider Mill. Or find something you can’t live without at the Village of Rochester Hills, which is a 375,000-square-foot outdoor shopping district with a downtown-like feel."
