My question for you is how much are you able to say, as a realtor, about the negatives as well as the positives? We need a complete picture. My fiancee and I are seriously considering moving to MI (from WA state. love it here but too expensive for us). We've heard mostly good things about MI, including your video, thank you. But we still know next to nothing about the state/places to move. It's pretty scary going in blind.
I've lived in Michigan all my life. I'm a registered native American Indian of The Sault Ste Marie tribe of Chippewa.This is a very beautiful state. The 4 seasons are a big plus. The winters here are nothing like they were in the past due to the change in the jet stream. I'm in southeast Michigan, of my 6 sons, 1 lives in Marquette, another son lives in Traverse city. There's no other state I'd rather live in. Last year I traveled over 3000 miles by car, this truly is a beautiful state.
Wish I could get up there other then for funerals. My father's family is from the Soo, came up the in March and wow the drive from Cadillac to there was off and on white out conditions, was just glad driving in the snow doesn't bother me.
Outdoors activities. Hunting, fishing, canoeing, hiking, foraging, skiing, off roading, sand dunes, sandy beaches. We have beautiful lakes, rivers, and forests to explore.
Michigan is a beautiful state with a great deal to do if you like the outdoors but the people of Michigan need to be smarter about who they are voting for.
@@cryst2huNo, it's definitely not having weight restrictions like others states do. If you go in areas outside of the major manufacturing areas the roads are fine. The problem is due to the manufacturing because all those automobiles and other things require heavier loads which causes more wear and tear on those frequently traveled roads.
Moving to the metro Detroit area for residency (medical). Coming from CO. I hated CO. The fact that we have a home secured with a two car garage, a yard and in a relatively safe area for less than the 2 bed studio we had in Denver tells me things will be alright. Sure, it’s not “optimal” for some folks. But I’m older, with a family and looking to commute from home to school and have my family set while my finances grow. I think it’s a great area as long as you stay away from trouble and I do like the affordability compared to other states. I’ll be living in the suburbs and commuting to work away from the “hood”.
My wife just got offered a great nursing contract in a small town in northern Michigan. she's originally from there. I get to take my job with and work remote. We are coming from North Dakota... so we aren't worried about winters. I'll take Michigan snow over North Dakota Blizzards (-35 F with 70 mph winds). in ND they don't cancel school for the kids unless the windchill is worse than -50F. cold is normal.
For me it’s the lack of sun during winter that is the problem. I clearly remember as a child, winter having way more sunny days during winter. There is no place on earth I would rather spend my summers than in Michigan . Ps almost zero natural disasters in fine state as well.🤷♂️
we had an earthquake 3 years ago, major fault lines could rip it apart if awakened, and we have tornados. do u like to chew the air before uninhale it? by all means! come find out what 102°F feels like in 98% humidity!
A lot of lake effect clouds even when no snow falls. Second cloudiest state in the Union next to Washington State. But you also get to enjoy 16 hour days and sunsets at 10:30 p.m. Up North due to the latitude, and the skies do clear up when spring and summer arrive.
hahah it's not that bad! (me being bias comfortably situated in SE Michigan 😂) If anything, we should be preparing for the supply of cloudy, gloomy days ahead!
Stats show michigan only averages 65 truly sunny days per year . That's with no clouds . The remaining 300 are either straight cloudy grey days or mild cloud cover . Cold days last from October till about June , Temps ranging from -7*f at worst to 65*f best for those months . July till about end of Sept are usually 70 * f to 90*f and almost never anything less then 70 % humidity if not worse .
I like your videos they're very informative I live in the upper peninsula and that's the one thing I noticed is that you don't talk about it all that often unless you're talking about a camp or something like that. I know it's hard to remember us up here sometimes cuz we're not as fast paced as down there but throw it in once in a while let people know we're here.
The quality of roads really depends on the wealth of an area. Business areas and wealthy areas are constantly getting redone but poor areas really are like driving over tank traps. Think flint, deep detroit, old parts of Pontiac but that's south east Michigan for you.
People coming from warmer climes may have no awareness of how tremendously snow tires improve traction on snowy roads. If you move here, get snow tires for your car. Its a bit annoying to have to swap them with all-season tires for the warmer months, but once you buy them, you've got two sets of tires for your car and its a long time before you have to buy any new ones.
Michigan is one of the places i am considering. I am shocked at how high the property taxes are. And then to read that roads in many places are not well maintained. What is the state doing with all that tax money?
Most of it has to do with where inflation is. Michigan property taxes increase by 5% or the rate of inflation. As far as roads it really depends on the community, they’ve been doing a lot of construction on the main expressways as of late. I had a conversation with a civil engineer asking why they wouldn’t just do the best possible material so they wouldn’t need to redo them again, and the reasoning is they don’t have enough funds at the time of construction to pay for it, so they put bandaids on it with the little amount of funds they do have. Property tax funds are disbursed in so many different directions, that’s also the hardship.
Michigan for decades was run by the auto and related industries like steel mfg. All were heavily reliant on 18-wheelers for the transport of products and materials. Their lobby was very efficient as to permissible weight levels for trucks on the roads. The trucks destroy the roads in fairly short order. The climate here plays a role, too. Once the concrete slabs get cracked, water enters and the freeze-thaw cycle brutalizes the concrete. Most of the property taxes fund local public schools. Increase in millages are generally on the ballot in off years when few people vote. School employees like teachers do show up in droves for those elections and get the increases passed, while at the same time electing pro-union school board members sympathetic to union demands at contract negotiation times. State roads are funded by the gasoline tax.
I am very much considering moving to Michigan, .....one question I have is, are there many horse properties there that are also close to longer Nature trails with a view hills and not just flat land? Because I so far I like everything about Michigan except that it doesn't have big mountains and I wonder if it even has at least a view hills?
There are actual mountains (2,000 ft) in the upper penninsula but no real mountainous areas in the Lower Pennisula, just sand dunes with a max height of about 700' along the shores of Lake Michigan built up by ages of sand being blown from the lakeshore inland. Most are now covered with soil and mature trees. There are plenty of ski resorts in the northwest corner of the L.P. built on those old sand dunes. But you asked about horses...... The Metro Detroit area has a vibrnt breeding and riding community. There used to be two pari-mutual race tracks, a harness one very close to the nothern city limits of Detroit in the suburb of Hazel Park, and a thoroughbred race track, Northvill Downs, in the City of Northvills about 15 miles due West of Detroit's western boundary. Casino gambling put both racetracks out of business. Horse lovers tended to locate in northern Oakland County about 20 miles north of the Hazel Park track on farms just outside of Northville Your are right about the City of Detroit being nothing but flat. It's built on an ice-age lake bottom. But to the northwest and west of the big city, the land becmes rolling due to retreating glaciers dumping their sand and gravel in irregular patterns. The resultant "hills" aren't very high, mabye 300' max here antd there, but where the hills are tallest, you will generally find public parks, and many of them have riding trails and staging areas for horse trailers. One area, Metamora, is an exurb of Detroit with all sorts of horse farms set on rolling land with mature forests, streams, and lakes. It may be a bit pricy, though, especially if your dream is to acquire some fenced acreage with a barn and spacious ranch home. The land around Northville is not quite as hilly, but if I were a horse, I'd still love it. Plus Northville has its own vibrant little downtown area to enjoy. One last point I'd like to make is that encircling the Metro Detroit area are a ring of "MetroParks". My favorite is Kensington MetroPark in MIlford, due to its petting farm and bike trails. I used to live in Milford, another nice city possessed of its own little downtown, and immediately adjacent to Kensington MetroPark. The place is virtually surrounded by parkland. Not being a horse guy, I never paid much attention to what degree those many parks accomodate horse riding, but I think they would have to. I do recall the areas outside of town having lots of fenced fields of the sort you tell yourself "there must be a pony in there somewhere!" I was curious and just googled "horse boarding"for western Oakland County and up popped 17 facilities. I've watched video of R.E. agents describing Detroit and environs in the hopes of building a book of business for themselves. I don't think they do a very good job of describing how beautful and natural the area is once you get out of the near-in and highly developed suburbs. Come take a look with your own eyes. I think you'll be amazed and convinced you stumbled upon one of the world's best secrets. Unless you'd prefer not to deal with a true (but rarely really harsh) winter, I can't think of anyplace else I'd rather live. "Expensive" is a relative concept. Pretty much everything in Metro Detroit is going to be cheaper than place on the East or West Coast. The $2.5M you might have to pay for a 1200 sq. ft. home in Marin County, CA, might buy you a horse farm outside of Milford. Once again, typing that made me curious. Check out this link: www.horseproperties.net/properties/milford-charter-township-oakland-county-michigan-united-states
That’s one thing I never understood was how is it that right across the river you can drive all over Canada and the roads are absolutely beautiful, literally a 20 minute drive ,five minute drive to Canada and you could drive for hours in Canada and the roads are just about perfect. We have the same type of weather, I grew up in Algonac, so I’ve been all over Canada . And for the people, don’t make this political, there has been Democrats and Republicans running Michigan , we have always had rotten roads. It doesn’t matter who’s in charge.
The truth is it does matter where you live in Michigan. as to how much snow you get... you may get ice in one area you get it snow in other areas. you may just get cold it does it just depends, but the one thing you have to know as that is ran democratically. the economy is destroyed. there are no jobs here. What there is the wages are low. I remember growing up where you saw the old plant and saw the olds plant in the skyline and it's gone the jobs are not here in Michigan. Growing here I can tell you the state government has made this a controlled state.... not worth living in.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽FACTS!!!! and its all TRANSPLANTS thatve voted for it to be utterly DESTROYED and impossible for the natives that actually belong here to even buy a home😡
@@hakashaqU812 the way this state is ran is disgusting. It's a leader in the left oppressive movement. If you're working you're paying for a lot of people that aren't pushed work for Thier own. Always bootlicking the upper politicians and wasting our tax dollars on things that don't cut it like electric cars, solar energy in Michigan? Wind power that costs more in batteries to run blades..... taking land from farmers and selling it to the Chinese. Trying to take away your gun rights. The leftist government here has destroyed any remainder of what our forefathers and ancestors built. It is a total disgrace to anyone that wants to be happy without stomping on everyone else. Don't get me wrong... this started with granholm.
Good information but may I make a suggestion? Consider changing the thumbnail and doom sound in the beginning. When I saw and heard that I was preparing for horrid information. On the contrary, it was valuable information esp for myself down south in a congested super hot summer and hailstorms. I’ve been there a few times with much of time in Traverse City and exploring the UP area and I love it! Now living there, I’ve been curious to learn more about Detroit and Grand Rapids and intend to watch more videos along the way.
Thanks Andrew. Sounds like an opportunity for Michigan to get innovative and install radiant roadways. It would seem between the high property taxes and annual car tax (which we don't pay in Maryland), there should be plenty of money for this purpose.
Agreed. It’s an interesting situation to say the least. Aside from roads, I have noticed several proposals being laid out to completely redo downtown spaces and community centers.
@thirdeyeordie8226 just opened my Better Maid delivery. In Florida Publix carries Vernon's and recently added Sanders Candy. Unfortunately no Bumpy cake 😕 Too hot here now
All 4 seasons are beautiful in Michigan. If you can get through the grays of March and early April, you are home free. Moved here after working in NC/GA for 15 years. Now I have property in the U.P., one of the few relatively unspoiled regions left in the country. Love living here. Just don’t become a UM fan. 😊 #GoGreenGoWhite
Moved here to Bay County from Chicagoland 35 yrs ago. Love it love it love it. Not too cold, not too hot, not too humid...I've never owned an air conditioner because it cools off so much at night. Summers are picture perfect like a postcard. Low cost of living, low crime, low congestion, clean air, clean water, woods, fishing, friendly folks...you couldn't pay me to move back to the zoo they call Chicago. They say you have to work twice as hard for half the money above the belt line, (M46). I say find what you love to do and you'll never call it work. Best thing about life in central Michigan? Most don't know about the quality of life we enjoy. lol
The winters are fairly mild because of climate change. The warming of the planet has greatly reduced the amount of snow that Michigan gets and the temperatures are higher than they used to be.
Hi there! I would be happy to help. My email is mcmanamon13@gmail.com or you can call/text me at (810) 360-3488. You can also click the link on my RUclips channel to fill out a form.
To me Grand Rapids and Wyoming is Grand Rapids, all surrounding town is Grand rapids, so populated. Originally from GR and would never move back down there.
Hey,shifting to Michigan by 11th August.Can you please advice regarding apartment.My husband will join MSU for post-doc.i will be there with him.please suggest on good and secure apartment.
I know that's a big headline out there now for sure! I'd say nationally it is a problem, but in Michigan it's not as big of a problem. There's definitely been an uptick in all cash offers, but believe it or not, those offers are not all investors actually! People always say "cash is king" but a lot of these all cash offers are going in so far below asking price with the ego that it's all cash, whereas these people putting in offers over asking price with a mortgage and an appraisal guarantee (out of pocket money to cover the over asking price offer) are still winning.
@LivingInMichigan That's what I assumed. I'm a little surprised people are still bidding over asking price still. Quick side note. Have you been to Muskegon lately. I barely recognized their downtown. It's going from a run down town to a place where your spending $70 for lunch. That city is underrated. Your only 10 min away from two beautiful state parks and a theme park.
I live in lower northern Michigan and we get a lot of snow . My husband and I both drive a 4 wheel drive truck especially during the months of January, feb, March are the worst winter months . But it is true the more lower south east you go in Michigan the less snow and mild winters . So if you want alot of snow move to Northern Michigan or upper peninsula. If u don’t want alot live south eastern Michigan. And also here in the upper and lower northern part of Michigan we have the gorgeous beautiful beaches .
Live in southeast Michigan and play in West Michigan and Northern Michigan. Short easy winter, more things to do, higher pay, better small towns, better airports.
I hate to say it, but seems the state doesn't manage their funds too well. And are paying the politicians and county schools too much. I will definitely visit and enjoy the lakes and lighthouses. But cross off this state to move to.
I retired a few years ago and moved to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan from Indiana. And while I find it to be heaven on earth, it certainly is not for everyone. Lots of snow, but no colder than Indiana, and people up here, from the road crews to people just blowing out their driveways and sidewalks know what to do with snow...And then you can play in it, most ski or snowmobile, I snowshoe because I go deep in the woods. The roads are actually some of the best I have ever seen believe it or not. Jobs are few and low paying, but they are there, and the cost of living is very low. Anywhere in the UP other than Marquette one can find an unbelievable deal on a house. The internet, along with all other utilities is quite good and affordable. The town actually has a very nice restored theater, and there is a play, musical show, or movie about once a week, during the summer months, Actually, during the summer months it's hard to keep track of all the events going on. Yea it's 100 miles to a Wal-Mart or McDonalds, but who cares! The draw here is a peaceful, safe, slow-paced place to live, with true wilderness just outside your back door.
Hi Johnathan! Thank you for your comment. I would be happy to help with your plan to move to Michigan. Feel free to contact me to discuss further via email or call. Amcmanamon@signaturesothebys.com or 810-360-3488
Yep, for the first week or so after snow and freezing conditions hit, be extra careful. People are driving out of habit from the non-winter driving conditions. You'd think they'd be mostly tourists making this error, but sadly it is usually a resident that should know better.
I grew up in south haven, mi and moved to Oklahoma for a few years then came back and am planning to go back to Oklahoma. I HATE Michigan. Winters are cold and dreary. I think the worst part of the weather is the permacloud, we have six months of little to no sun. Not to mention the people are horrible too. OK was very welcoming, everyone was respectful and friendly. MI is the exact opposite, a lot of selfish individuals who are just as cold as the weather
I saw parts of Oklahoma have had a worse winter than parts of Michigan this year. It’s supposed to hit 50+ degrees in Michigan again this week. And I will take Michigan over Oklahoma from May to October any day.
That's true you can't beat a Michigan summer. My reasoning for liking Oklahoma more goes beyond the weather and geography tho. Im at a point in my life where I'm transitioning into a better version of myself and one last thing I'm struggling with is drug addiction. I'm not saying the people in OK are better than MI but I have noticed that there is a culture down there where it's far less common for people to do drugs there (in my experience with the folks I met down there) and that's an environment I need right now@@travissmith9488
You sound like me leaving Georgia for the Midwest with my parents and then being back eventually to my home state and not wanting to stay in my home state again 😂😂😂😂
Michigan is also failing every state metric there is per the stats. Infact in 2020 the " society of civil engineers " gave michigan straight " D " grade on all 4 counts of infrastructure. Good luck & buy a truck !
I lived in northern Michigan in Grayling and it’s a rough town to live due to lack of good paying jobs. Lived there from age 5-25 and knowing everyone didn’t help me make good money. My dad drove to detroit and stayed in apartment all week and drove back up for weekend. I had to move to southern United States for work and my friends that stayed mostly struggle. Depressing the amount of dark skies everyday through winter and tough living. I miss how peaceful it was and summers but mostly stayed drunk. It’s cool they legalized pot I told my parents I may come back one day lol
After I retired in Pontiac I moved to Calumet and lived there 5 years the record snowfall is 390.4 inches, the 48 year average is 240.9 inches and the all time low is 161.1 inches, everything south of Saginaw is a cakewalk!
Michigan always has, now, and will be wimpy, easy street, nothing to write to mommy and grandmommy yearlong weather. We don't have F-4 and F-5 tornadoes. I know about this. My last USAF base was Sheppard AFB; Wichita Falls, Texas. April 10, 1979 a F-4 tornado came through the city. Forty four people died and 1,200 injured. Surprisingly there wasn't more people killed and injured of a city of 125,000 at the time. Unrelated to that, softball size hail has fallen in Texas before. This 355 inches of seasonal snowfall is nothing compared elsewhere to Western United States and elsewhere worldwide. Mt. Baker Ski Area, Washington about 15 miles south of British Colombia had 1140 inches of snow in 1998-1999 winter. That's over 95 FEET OF SNOW. Alta Ski Resort, Utah got 903 inches of snow two winter seasons ago. The record cold temperature for Michigan is -54 degrees below zero actual temperature that took place in the early 1950's in Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt is the right of I-75 about the third the distance from Gaylord to Indian River towards Mackinaw City. We don't have that temperature and let alone -70 degrees and -82 degrees below zero actual temperatures as state records for Montana and Alaska respectively. We don't have winds blowing 230 MPH that took place on top of Mt. Washington, New Hampshire recorded at the National Weather Station on top of this peak in 1934. I grew up in Detroit and Livonia. I remember people complaining about a insignificant 30 inches of seasonal snowfall. What a bunch of pansies. Compared to out west as I mentioned there's no reason to complain weather yearlong. I know as far as winter weather is. Because I drove across Wyoming, Utah, Idaho, Colorado, and New Mexico all in winter. I didn't drive across Red Mountain Pass, Colorado. But driving across this mountain pass highway road could result in higher blood pressure, and sweaty hands. Colorado highway department keeps this highway open yearlong except for avalanche and debris removal. The following RUclips video short shows what it is like. White Knuckle! Red Mountain Pass Colorado, don't take your eyes off the road! #shorts@wheeinoutwest
Thanks for making the informative video. I love Michigan because of its natural beauty, Great Lakes, forests, apple, cherry orchards and amazing weather from spring to fall. Personally I hate 😄 the long colder months especially when it’s cloudy ☁️ during these colder months. But all these winter blues will go away in April when sun ☀️ is shining and all plants and animals birds come out to start one of the most beautiful spring in the world!
The cheapest places to live in Michigan are usually places that you won't want to live. I would not live in any of the 10 places on the video poster's list.
The roads ate getting fixed due to our amazing governor. Lived here all my life. Like the 4 seasons, winters are not as bad as they used to be. Home prices are still less than many other states. Great lakes are beautiful, parks, sand dunes, up north.
Where im from jackson michigan suck. Most businesses come and stays for a year maybe 2 then gone. They don't take care of there road at all. There so many reason why Michigan sucks. Why did Michigan hold a rally for a fallen officer butler but didn't do it for any other cops who has fallen while in line of duty Michigan is a fucked up state

Thanks for the great info. It's none of my business but I'm going to tell you anyway... You're a gorgeous young man. Lose that mustache. It masks your terrific facial architecture.
well I guess that's relative because as a woman I think he has a beautiful mustache and my teenage daughter adores men with mustaches too. To each their own, as they say.
@@yourfavoritecoffeehouse9343 as a woman, I took love facial hair, when it compliments the face. My father, my brother, and my husband all have a variety of facial hair. In this young man's case, it's a distraction to his (very handsome) angular jawline. Further, his mustache has a gap over the philtrum, it's at an arrow-straight angle (devoid of the slight curve that is ideal) and his does not fully fill the space from under his nose to his lip. That nose-to-lip growth is what gives a mustache a lush, full look (Tom Selleck, Alex Trebek, Sam Elliott). This nice young man would likely look great with a "stubble beard." And yes ma'am you are correct... To each their own. Have a lovely day.
Great question! There was actually a report that came out the middle of last year talking about the massive teacher shortage following the pandemic that is being addressed. I know Detroit will most likely have the largest supply of jobs, but there are definitely jobs in the cities outside of Detroit. I know a lot of people in teaching (coming from out of state mostly) will jump on the Michigan.gov website for educator recruitment to get their name out there and expose themselves to more opportunities, as It can be discouraging just browsing indeed, ziprecruiter, etc.
Great place if all you care about is hunting, fishing, ATV, boating, snowmobiling. If you give a shit about children or want anything else than that in life, or aren’t a white Christian, you’re not going to like it

Michigan is a beautiful state with a great deal to do if you like the outdoors but the people of Michigan need to be smarter about who they are voting for.
The road quality could be easily fixed if we stopped allowing heavy loads. I believe only Michigan, Florida and Alaska allow such heavy loads.
I would say it's more to do with the freezing and thawing.

Most of it has to do with where inflation is. Michigan property taxes increase by 5% or the rate of inflation. As far as roads it really depends on the community, they’ve been doing a lot of construction on the main expressways as of late. I had a conversation with a civil engineer asking why they wouldn’t just do the best possible material so they wouldn’t need to redo them again, and the reasoning is they don’t have enough funds at the time of construction to pay for it, so they put bandaids on it with the little amount of funds they do have. Property tax funds are disbursed in so many different directions, that’s also the hardship.
Michigan for decades was run by the auto and related industries like steel mfg. All were heavily reliant on 18-wheelers for the transport of products and materials. Their lobby was very efficient as to permissible weight levels for trucks on the roads. The trucks destroy the roads in fairly short order. The climate here plays a role, too. Once the concrete slabs get cracked, water enters and the freeze-thaw cycle brutalizes the concrete.
Most of the property taxes fund local public schools. Increase in millages are generally on the ballot in off years when few people vote. School employees like teachers do show up in droves for those elections and get the increases passed, while at the same time electing pro-union school board members sympathetic to union demands at contract negotiation times. State roads are funded by the gasoline tax.
I am very much considering moving to Michigan, .....one question I have is, are there many horse properties there that are also close to longer Nature trails with a view hills and not just flat land? Because I so far I like everything about Michigan except that it doesn't have big mountains and I wonder if it even has at least a view hills?
There are actual mountains (2,000 ft) in the upper penninsula but no real mountainous areas in the Lower Pennisula, just sand dunes with a max height of about 700' along the shores of Lake Michigan built up by ages of sand being blown from the lakeshore inland. Most are now covered with soil and mature trees. There are plenty of ski resorts in the northwest corner of the L.P. built on those old sand dunes. But you asked about horses......
The Metro Detroit area has a vibrnt breeding and riding community. There used to be two pari-mutual race tracks, a harness one very close to the nothern city limits of Detroit in the suburb of Hazel Park, and a thoroughbred race track, Northvill Downs, in the City of Northvills about 15 miles due West of Detroit's western boundary. Casino gambling put both racetracks out of business. Horse lovers tended to locate in northern Oakland County about 20 miles north of the Hazel Park track on farms just outside of Northville Your are right about the City of Detroit being nothing but flat. It's built on an ice-age lake bottom. But to the northwest and west of the big city, the land becmes rolling due to retreating glaciers dumping their sand and gravel in irregular patterns. The resultant "hills" aren't very high, mabye 300' max here antd there, but where the hills are tallest, you will generally find public parks, and many of them have riding trails and staging areas for horse trailers. One area, Metamora, is an exurb of Detroit with all sorts of horse farms set on rolling land with mature forests, streams, and lakes. It may be a bit pricy, though, especially if your dream is to acquire some fenced acreage with a barn and spacious ranch home.
The land around Northville is not quite as hilly, but if I were a horse, I'd still love it. Plus Northville has its own vibrant little downtown area to enjoy.
One last point I'd like to make is that encircling the Metro Detroit area are a ring of "MetroParks". My favorite is Kensington MetroPark in MIlford, due to its petting farm and bike trails. I used to live in Milford, another nice city possessed of its own little downtown, and immediately adjacent to Kensington MetroPark. The place is virtually surrounded by parkland. Not being a horse guy, I never paid much attention to what degree those many parks accomodate horse riding, but I think they would have to. I do recall the areas outside of town having lots of fenced fields of the sort you tell yourself "there must be a pony in there somewhere!" I was curious and just googled "horse boarding"for western Oakland County and up popped 17 facilities.
I've watched video of R.E. agents describing Detroit and environs in the hopes of building a book of business for themselves. I don't think they do a very good job of describing how beautful and natural the area is once you get out of the near-in and highly developed suburbs. Come take a look with your own eyes. I think you'll be amazed and convinced you stumbled upon one of the world's best secrets. Unless you'd prefer not to deal with a true (but rarely really harsh) winter, I can't think of anyplace else I'd rather live. "Expensive" is a relative concept. Pretty much everything in Metro Detroit is going to be cheaper than place on the East or West Coast. The $2.5M you might have to pay for a 1200 sq. ft. home in Marin County, CA, might buy you a horse farm outside of Milford. Once again, typing that made me curious.

@@richardtrudeau7363 Thanks so much for letting me know...
That’s one thing I never understood was how is it that right across the river you can drive all over Canada and the roads are absolutely beautiful, literally a 20 minute drive ,five minute drive to Canada and you could drive for hours in Canada and the roads are just about perfect. We have the same type of weather, I grew up in Algonac, so I’ve been all over Canada . And for the people, don’t make this political, there has been Democrats and Republicans running Michigan , we have always had rotten roads. It doesn’t matter who’s in charge.
It’s the volume of the traffic, not the weather so much, when it comes to Canadian roads.
The truth is it does matter where you live in Michigan. as to how much snow you get... you may get ice in one area you get it snow in other areas. you may just get cold it does it just depends, but the one thing you have to know as that is ran democratically. the economy is destroyed. there are no jobs here. What there is the wages are low. I remember growing up where you saw the old plant and saw the olds plant in the skyline and it's gone the jobs are not here in Michigan. Growing here I can tell you the state government has made this a controlled state.... not worth living in.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽FACTS!!!! and its all TRANSPLANTS thatve voted for it to be utterly DESTROYED and impossible for the natives that actually belong here to even buy a home😡
Just curious where you moved to ?
@@hakashaqU812 why
@@evamoore2297 You said... "Not worth living in..."
@@hakashaqU812 the way this state is ran is disgusting. It's a leader in the left oppressive movement. If you're working you're paying for a lot of people that aren't pushed work for Thier own. Always bootlicking the upper politicians and wasting our tax dollars on things that don't cut it like electric cars, solar energy in Michigan? Wind power that costs more in batteries to run blades..... taking land from farmers and selling it to the Chinese. Trying to take away your gun rights. The leftist government here has destroyed any remainder of what our forefathers and ancestors built. It is a total disgrace to anyone that wants to be happy without stomping on everyone else. Don't get me wrong... this started with granholm.
Good information but may I make a suggestion? Consider changing the thumbnail and doom sound in the beginning. When I saw and heard that I was preparing for horrid information. On the contrary, it was valuable information esp for myself down south in a congested super hot summer and hailstorms. I’ve been there a few times with much of time in Traverse City and exploring the UP area and I love it! Now living there, I’ve been curious to learn more about Detroit and Grand Rapids and intend to watch more videos along the way.
And it's held in Yale, Michigan.
Thanks Andrew. Sounds like an opportunity for Michigan to get innovative and install radiant roadways. It would seem between the high property taxes and annual car tax (which we don't pay in Maryland), there should be plenty of money for this purpose.
Agreed. It’s an interesting situation to say the least. Aside from roads, I have noticed several proposals being laid out to completely redo downtown spaces and community centers.
Hey can you do a video about Alpena ?

All 4 seasons are beautiful in Michigan. If you can get through the grays of March and early April, you are home free. Moved here after working in NC/GA for 15 years.

Where do you live in Michigan?... Im way up at the tip of the mitten, & its best to have a 4X4 or all wheel drive up here.
Moved here to Bay County from Chicagoland 35 yrs ago. Love it love it love it. Not too cold, not too hot, not too humid...I've never owned an air conditioner because it cools off so much at night. Summers are picture perfect like a postcard. Low cost of living, low crime, low congestion, clean air, clean water, woods, fishing, friendly folks...you couldn't pay me to move back to the zoo they call Chicago. They say you have to work twice as hard for half the money above the belt line, (M46). I say find what you love to do and you'll never call it work. Best thing about life in central Michigan? Most don't know about the quality of life we enjoy. lol

I used to live in michigan and really thinking about moving back but its very hard to find help on ssi to buy a place there but still im trying
I retired and moved to Michigan from San Diego. I was never able to buy property, but I found a very reasonable house.

The winters are fairly mild because of climate change. The warming of the planet has greatly reduced the amount of snow that Michigan gets and the temperatures are higher than they used to be.

Hey,shifting to Michigan by 11th August.Can you please advice regarding apartment.My husband will join MSU for post-doc.i will be there with him.please suggest on good and secure apartment.
Are you seeing a lot of "investor's" buying family homes in MI. Are they a serious competitor in the market there?
I know that's a big headline out there now for sure! I'd say nationally it is a problem, but in Michigan it's not as big of a problem. There's definitely been an uptick in all cash offers, but believe it or not, those offers are not all investors actually! People always say "cash is king" but a lot of these all cash offers are going in so far below asking price with the ego that it's all cash, whereas these people putting in offers over asking price with a mortgage and an appraisal guarantee (out of pocket money to cover the over asking price offer) are still winning.
@LivingInMichigan That's what I assumed. I'm a little surprised people are still bidding over asking price still.
Quick side note. Have you been to Muskegon lately. I barely recognized their downtown. It's going from a run down town to a place where your spending $70 for lunch. That city is underrated. Your only 10 min away from two beautiful state parks and a theme park.

I live in lower northern Michigan and we get a lot of snow . My husband and I both drive a 4 wheel drive truck especially during the months of January, feb, March are the worst winter months . But it is true the more lower south east you go in Michigan the less snow and mild winters . So if you want alot of snow move to Northern Michigan or upper peninsula. If u don’t want alot live south eastern Michigan. And also here in the upper and lower northern part of Michigan we have the gorgeous beautiful beaches .
i dont care what u wanna do, STAY OUT!!!!
Roads are really bad and then you cross to Canada with the same climate, roads are perfect.Any ideas??
Less traffic
Live in southeast Michigan and play in West Michigan and Northern Michigan. Short easy winter, more things to do, higher pay, better small towns, better airports.
EXCEPT URE UNWELCOME👍🏽
I hate to say it, but seems the state doesn't manage their funds too well. And are paying the politicians and county schools too much.
I will definitely visit and enjoy the lakes and lighthouses. But cross off this state to move to.
Michigan has one of the lowest cost of living rates.
I retired a few years ago and moved to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan from Indiana. And while I find it to be heaven on earth, it certainly is not for everyone. Lots of snow, but no colder than Indiana, and people up here, from the road crews to people just blowing out their driveways and sidewalks know what to do with snow...And then you can play in it, most ski or snowmobile, I snowshoe because I go deep in the woods. The roads are actually some of the best I have ever seen believe it or not. Jobs are few and low paying, but they are there, and the cost of living is very low. Anywhere in the UP other than Marquette one can find an unbelievable deal on a house. The internet, along with all other utilities is quite good and affordable. The town actually has a very nice restored theater, and there is a play, musical show, or movie about once a week, during the summer months, Actually, during the summer months it's hard to keep track of all the events going on. Yea it's 100 miles to a Wal-Mart or McDonalds, but who cares! The draw here is a peaceful, safe, slow-paced place to live, with true wilderness just outside your back door.
GO BACK TO INDIANA

Yep, for the first week or so after snow and freezing conditions hit, be extra careful. People are driving out of habit from the non-winter driving conditions. You'd think they'd be mostly tourists making this error, but sadly it is usually a resident that should know better.
Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow
I grew up in south haven, mi and moved to Oklahoma for a few years then came back and am planning to go back to Oklahoma. I HATE Michigan. Winters are cold and dreary. I think the worst part of the weather is the permacloud, we have six months of little to no sun. Not to mention the people are horrible too. OK was very welcoming, everyone was respectful and friendly. MI is the exact opposite, a lot of selfish individuals who are just as cold as the weather
I think OKIE is worst
Michigan is very grey most of the time . Infact stats show we only truly get real sunshine here about 65 days a year without any type of cloud cover .
I saw parts of Oklahoma have had a worse winter than parts of Michigan this year. It’s supposed to hit 50+ degrees in Michigan again this week. And I will take Michigan over Oklahoma from May to October any day.
That's true you can't beat a Michigan summer. My reasoning for liking Oklahoma more goes beyond the weather and geography tho. Im at a point in my life where I'm transitioning into a better version of myself and one last thing I'm struggling with is drug addiction. I'm not saying the people in OK are better than MI but I have noticed that there is a culture down there where it's far less common for people to do drugs there (in my experience with the folks I met down there) and that's an environment I need right now@@travissmith9488
You sound like me leaving Georgia for the Midwest with my parents and then being back eventually to my home state and not wanting to stay in my home state again 😂😂😂😂

Michigan is also failing every state metric there is per the stats. Infact in 2020 the " society of civil engineers " gave michigan straight " D " grade on all 4 counts of infrastructure. Good luck & buy a truck !
I lived in northern Michigan in Grayling and it’s a rough town to live due to lack of good paying jobs. Lived there from age 5-25 and knowing everyone didn’t help me make good money. My dad drove to detroit and stayed in apartment all week and drove back up for weekend. I had to move to southern United States for work and my friends that stayed mostly struggle. Depressing the amount of dark skies everyday through winter and tough living. I miss how peaceful it was and summers but mostly stayed drunk. It’s cool they legalized pot I told my parents I may come back one day lol
After I retired in Pontiac I moved to Calumet and lived there 5 years the record snowfall is 390.4 inches, the 48 year average is 240.9 inches and the all time low is 161.1 inches, everything south of Saginaw is a cakewalk!
everything south of the border is cakewalk. STAY OUT
What is it like to live in Hell Michigan?
I was born in Michigan, moved out for many years, returned to find that it is worse than when I left. I hate Michigan!
Michigan always has, now, and will be wimpy, easy street, nothing to write to mommy and grandmommy yearlong weather. We don't have F-4 and F-5 tornadoes. I know about this. My last USAF base was Sheppard AFB; Wichita Falls, Texas. April 10, 1979 a F-4 tornado came through the city. Forty four people died and 1,200 injured. Surprisingly there wasn't more people killed and injured of a city of 125,000 at the time. Unrelated to that, softball size hail has fallen in Texas before. This 355 inches of seasonal snowfall is nothing compared elsewhere to Western United States and elsewhere worldwide. Mt. Baker Ski Area, Washington about 15 miles south of British Colombia had 1140 inches of snow in 1998-1999 winter. That's over 95 FEET OF SNOW. Alta Ski Resort, Utah got 903 inches of snow two winter seasons ago. The record cold temperature for Michigan is -54 degrees below zero actual temperature that took place in the early 1950's in Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt is the right of I-75 about the third the distance from Gaylord to Indian River towards Mackinaw City. We don't have that temperature and let alone -70 degrees and -82 degrees below zero actual temperatures as state records for Montana and Alaska respectively. We don't have winds blowing 230 MPH that took place on top of Mt. Washington, New Hampshire recorded at the National Weather Station on top of this peak in 1934. I grew up in Detroit and Livonia. I remember people complaining about a insignificant 30 inches of seasonal snowfall. What a bunch of pansies. Compared to out west as I mentioned there's no reason to complain weather yearlong. I know as far as winter weather is. Because I drove across Wyoming, Utah, Idaho, Colorado, and New Mexico all in winter. I didn't drive across Red Mountain Pass, Colorado. But driving across this mountain pass highway road could result in higher blood pressure, and sweaty hands. Colorado highway department keeps this highway open yearlong except for avalanche and debris removal. The following RUclips video short shows what it is like.

Thanks for the great info. It's none of my business but I'm going to tell you anyway... You're a gorgeous young man. Lose that mustache. It masks your terrific facial architecture.
well I guess that's relative because as a woman I think he has a beautiful mustache and my teenage daughter adores men with mustaches too. To each their own, as they say.
@@yourfavoritecoffeehouse9343 as a woman, I took love facial hair, when it compliments the face. My father, my brother, and my husband all have a variety of facial hair. In this young man's case, it's a distraction to his (very handsome) angular jawline. Further, his mustache has a gap over the philtrum, it's at an arrow-straight angle (devoid of the slight curve that is ideal) and his does not fully fill the space from under his nose to his lip. That nose-to-lip growth is what gives a mustache a lush, full look (Tom Selleck, Alex Trebek, Sam Elliott). This nice young man would likely look great with a "stubble beard." And yes ma'am you are correct... To each their own. Have a lovely day.

Is there a good job market for teachers outside of Detroit?
Great question! There was actually a report that came out the middle of last year talking about the massive teacher shortage following the pandemic that is being addressed. I know Detroit will most likely have the largest supply of jobs, but there are definitely jobs in the cities outside of Detroit. I know a lot of people in teaching (coming from out of state mostly) will jump on the Michigan.gov website for educator recruitment to get their name out there and expose themselves to more opportunities, as It can be discouraging just browsing indeed, ziprecruiter, etc.
