![The TRUTH About Living in Livonia Michigan [Pros and Cons]](/img/1.gif)
Nice content! Would love to see a video on Novi or a comparison in the area (say Novi vs Farmington Hills vs Walled Lake vs West Bloomfield)
Thanks Ben!! Novi is actually in the works right now
Walledlake suck end episode
We relocated from Africa to Michigan in 2022, spent a 12months in West Bloomfield then saw your vids and bought a home in Farmington Hills, a classic brick 1943 home that has its own fenced forest and she has been updated and kept in excellent condition. Thanks for the information, it was really helpful.
Love that! Wish I could have helped you buy. If you ever need a real estate agent in the future, reach out 😀 paul@movingmi.com
Just moved to Farmington Hills and have to say it’s way better than Redford where we previously lived. A lot more quiet 🤫 and neighbors are residents that have been here for decades.
I LOVE Farmington Hills! Excellent choice 😃
Farmington Hills is 2nd to none!
From a Farmington Hills resident
I live in Farmington Hills and to me the worst thing about living here is the high property taxes!
Amen brother my escrow tapped and now paying 400 more on mortgage payments
Yeah totally thought that was what Paul was going to say ...shocked me ..
I grew up in Farmington Hills and our school system was shit. They sold off our high school Harrison.
Harrison was garbage
They sold it cause it was the biggest school, dumbest shit ever
@@boogaloo20 Fax no printer. FHS class of 2015
Harrison will soon be an amazing community center called The Hawk!
Totally Love your RUclips promo of Farmington Hills Paul...Wow....thank You.
Great video Paul! We scoop in Farmington Hills on Tuesday’s
Great content Paul, love the videos keep them coming.
Thanks!! Will do!! 😁
Yes please more young couples move in and update the homes or build up, a lot of the homes that go up for sale is because the owners lived there forever and passed away or moved to Florida for retirement. Great area, not all congested like Novi or Royal Oak.
Loved living in Farmington hills for over ten years. Nice video
Thank you!
I was the first year to graduate from Farmington steam academy and it's a really great city to live in
Awesome!!
Thanks for the video! I also really like the diverse population in Farmington Hills. I feel blessed growing up here. Harrison Hawk alumni!
Thanks so much for this video. I just moved here three days ago and I love the city. It is so unbelievably quiet compared to Detroit. I compose meditation music and it is a joy to be able to do so without all the sirens and loud cars with louder stereos to distract me. I would love to hear your report on the restaurants in the area. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Tim! There are a bunch of new restaurants coming to the city soon. I'll definitely be digging into them! 😁
So helpful!! Thanks
I like to see how other people think about Farmington Hills. I lived there most of my life and it is a good place
It's a GREAT place. One of my favorites.
Good video! I just moved here from waterford, and I’m so glad I did. I grew up close by in the West Bloomfield area. I love how close I am to everything and how there’s always something to do nearby, yet it’s still got a peaceful country feel. There are alot of deer and ducks.
Love that! The location is unbeatable 😀
I've lived in 2 countries and 5 diff cities. My take on FH: city living with nice big property sizes and lots of nature mixed in which makes for a pleasant peaceful experience. Extremely diverse(well sort of it's mostly Jewish, Middle Eastern, Indian, Asian and African American with a much smaller European and conservative demographic than most other cities). Not bad or good just different than you'll find in other areas. The population also is much older, the "younger" people if you can find any are in their late 30's and up so theres little to none fun hip places to shop or things to do. The roads and public services seem better maintained and kept up than other areas which is nice. The impression I've got is that the vast majority or the population leans left politically and kinda hard left, I worry my kids may not get a balanced view in school or with friends. All the stores shutdown early like 9:00 which was a change for me but I adjusted after a while. Attractive looking people are very under represented in the area I'm not sure why but it's rare to see anyone over a 4 or a 5/10(myself included).
Low crime? Not in my experience. I've had neighbors on both sides of me have their $300k houses raided by SWAT for drugs, I've had drug dealers show up at my house looking for a neighbor kid thinking he was in my house and had to call the police. The gas station a mile away had a car drive up and shoot up a crowd of young kids recently. There’s constantly people having items stolen from their porches vehicles and garages. There is a large concentration of crime in northern FH and SE West Bloomfield most likely due to M-10 leading right up from Detroit to that area and giving a fast getaway for criminals.
On top of that my house payment went up $150 last year and another $150 this year due to property taxes, that's a $300 A MONTH jump!!
Although I do like the uniquely quiet living and large lots, I'm not sure I'll stay in this area.
I've been living in Farmington for the last 4 years, I love the peaceful nature of Farmington, but the police have harassed me relentlessly, for trivial reasons like sitting in my car in front of my home in Farmington, that's the worst thing.... We need policing reforms now!!! Hard to be black in Farmington
Thanks for the heads up. I hope you stay safe. We need reform badly. Sending love and protective thoughts for you 🙏🏽❤️
@@michikosmith3262 Thanks bro, each 1 reach 1 teach 1
I’d love if you did this style of video with the other cities In metro Detroit like Southfield, canton, Warren, Dearborn, etc
I definitely plan on it 😃 so many awesome cities in Metro Detroit!! 😁
Hello ,
Thanks for nice video!
when was this video made?
A few months ago 🤷♂️
The company I work for has our second location in FH. Have visited a couple times for business trips. Seems like a nice place!
It's a great place!! 😃
Hello from Farmington Hills - I would say the WORST is the Traffic. Going on I-696 West from Orchard Lake to I-275 during rush hour (3 1/2 Miles) is 30 Minutes. not to mention all the traffic accidents to go along with them.
Hey Bill! I would have to agree. Seems like there's traffic and accidents no matter what freeway you take though.
I'm from Farmington. My parents and my brothers moved there in 1956. It was way different back then
I’ve lived in Farmington/Farmington hills area for most of my life... it’s an ok city. It’s quite and peaceful but it’s a mostly older population here. It can get a little dull here at times. 😑
True! But a lot of younger families are starting to move in 😃
Yea,my grandma lives there it does have a lot of old people 🥱
It’s weird seeing my school (FHS) and down town Farmington on RUclips
Exactly I wasn’t expecting to see FHS lol
@@refealthomas605 😅 it's an awesome school!
THE METRODETROITER - Paul Wolfert not really, the chemistry teachers suck
I went to FHS graduated went to join the army lived in Hawaii Texas New York married my wife in Hawaii left moved back to Michigan and moving into a house just behind FHS that my wife fell in love with the neighborhood.
@@JohnMiller-ld2fs nice! That's a great area. Not sure if I would have left Hawaii if I were you though 😅
Yes I’ve been living in a hotel a while in Farmington really trying to find somewhere to live
the food do be amazing!
Where? Greenes hamburgers ? If you like hotdogs with chili cheese and onions i guess that counts as food
Can you do a video on Trenton, Michigan please :)
I live in Farmington hills I love it
♥️♥️♥️😃
I lived in Wixom michigan nice area
I live right in downtown farmington (the same thing as farmington hills just smaller and cuter with a downtown district) and you know michigan snowblow'n and lown mow'n in the same day. To rainy too
Hey Vaughn! I LOVE downtown Farmington! How long have you lived there?
@@PaulWolfert Up to my twelve years and its only gotten better. Never moving out
Please make a video on Lansing or okemos in Michigan
I also live in Farmington Hills Michigan
This is absolutely 100% fair
I live in farmington hills and I tell ya its close to many restaurants thanks to very diverse race mix around farmington hills and novi. Novi has many big name Japanese auto suppliers and naturally Japanese food comes with it. Farmington is known for many Indian population and so many good Indian restaurants. And other races of asians live here. I personally really love Jiang Nan Noodle house in farmington. Its hand made Chinese noodles house so good and on par with where I'm from.
I'm saving up on buying a new home near the historic division in the Farmington area.
I can help when you're ready! Paul@movingmi.com
I'm only here to hear about the King of Farmington.
Clooners video is awesome! Maybe I should start rapping about each city. ruclips.net/video/zWShRwxj5Eo/видео.html
Next month we will be moving there and need some information on buying house there..
We should talk! paul@movingmi.com
I will like that you make a video abouth White lake city in michigan .
Hi Paul!
¿Do you have videos about apartments in farmington hills? Like rent cost, pros vs cons, etc..
How are housing prices a pro and a con? Also lack of downtown is a weird complaint since Farmington hills almost wraps around Farmington, essentially same city. Also the weather is a dumb con because it’s not like you’re comparing Farmington to Miami. Any city you are thinking about living in metro Detroit will have same weather
Housing prices are both a pro and con depending on where someone is financially. It's "cheaper" compared to areas like Novi but more expensive than a lot of the state. I agree with you about the downtown but there are plenty of people (especially those who live further North) who say Farmington Hills needs a downtown of its own. The weather is definitely a stretch. Not a lot of bad things I can say about the city 🤷♂️
I agree with you 50% but weather sucks in michigan because you know one week your shoveling or the other is mowing
All the strip malls you can handle. That aside, the best parts of FH are the Bella Vita market, the library, Tomatoes Apizza, Marvin’s, and Cafe Cortina.
Marvins? The crappy over priced arcade? Advertising marvins as something interesting in farmington hills? You should be ashamed of yourself
Phil B so the Holicaust Museum is more exciting than a million dollar collection of rare circus, fair and arcade collectibles? Got it. Let’s set the record straight on FH. It’s an unoriginal community with an unending thirst for chain restaurants and strip malls that wishes it was West Bloomfield.
@@neilyaremchuk6798 marvins is a JOKE overrun by bratty kids. I think you need to explore the world a little more if you think crappy smelly marvins is anything but an eye sore.
We all live here and will see each other one day not knowing we saw their RUclips comment
Team Farmington.
😅😅 it is pretty great
It’s really fun as a kid there is 2 fishing ponds bmx spots in downtown there is a lot for both bmx and skateboard we have Starbucks it’s good for hill bombing on bikes and skate boards there is zap zone there is a Coney Island downtown it’s pretty good
Also a skate shop
I would have loved it as a kid. Wish my kids would get out and do some of that stuff.
Zap zone, coney island, and starbucks. Sounded like you had a pretty lame childhood.
Phil B that’s all the legal stuff you can do
Our weather sucks. Moved from Detroit to Westland 😒 still sucks. Like how you gonna be burning hot but 3secs later pouring rain
😂👍
Well you moved to Westland... Atleast it's not Inkster
I can not believe how expensive any thing around Detroit is. Its a bit mind blowing. Seems like the worst cities in America are the most expensive.
The most expensive neighborhoods around Detroit (Birmingham, Bloomfield etc) are definitely not the worst. Those are some of the nicest areas in Michigan.
Please to Novi!
Novi is definitely happening soon!
I love Novi been here for 14 years. Move from Farmington Hills. I love the location of both you are near everything.. Novi School District is excellent!
Go Raiders!!! Class of NFHS 1987. 😁
Love FHS
Class of 2015.✊
I live in Farmington hills
Do Farmington!
Farmington is on the list of places I'm covering 😃 I LOVE Farmington!!
Yippee!
I love my city
Did you check with Clooner to make sure this was okay to post?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
In my opinion the worst con of Farmington hills is the traffic.
It can get rough sometimes but Canton and South Lyon always seem to be worse when I'm out showing houses.
I need a huge house for a multi generational family.
Hi! Send an email to paul@movingmi.com with the specifics and we'll be able to help you find a place anywhere in Metro Detroit 😃
Lake Orion next pleade
I'll add it to the list!
Farmington....HILLS, that is!
😂😂😂
The best thing is that they are down there and we are up without them. Home prices are 50 to 60 thousand
My husband is a firefighter/DISPATCHER for the city.
Awesome! I recently helped Todd (one of the firefighters) buy a home 😃
Mercedes-Benz is building new 200,000-square-foot facility near I-696 in Farmington Hills, right off 12mile and drake road
The new Mercedes-Benz building is about a mile down the road from me. They're building it on an old soccer field 😃
@@PaulWolfert i know right, i feel like nobodys talking about that, that is truly a game changer in the metro
17 to 1 teachers? Lol where did that fact come from I went to Farmington we had so many people we had to have classes in trailers outside and my gym class had 60 people in it
Oh wow! When was that? www.niche.com/k12/d/farmington-public-school-district-mi/
THE METRODETROITER - Paul Wolfert graduated 2012. So many kids teachers have carts that they have to wheel to other teachers classrooms while they are on there lunch break to have class. Two trailers outside that we had classes in aswell. Security guards and police walking the hallways all day.
@@jcliffs1430 The student population in the school district dropped dramatically afterward, hence why Harrison High and multiple Elementary schools closed, unfortunately. It was around 19k when I graduated 10 years ago and it's gone down almost or more than half.
Surprised to not hear or read in the comments cell phone reception. Am I the only one who feels I'm in a dead zone. I didn't have this issue until I moved to FH last month. Every single call drops when it decides to even dial out.
Who's your provider? Verizon has been great in Farmington Hills for me
Call your provider and ask for a cel booster. If they say no, tell them you need to cancel then they will
Send it lol thats how it went for us. We live in an area that should have no issues, but service is bad. Booster will fix it
I went to STEAM
Awesome! Did you like it?
@@PaulWolfert it was okay
Food?!?! In Farmington hills? Ha! Where my guy?
Ayo shout out to sl
South Lyon is DEFINITELY on the list of places I'm going to cover 😃👍
Find me good fix and flip house
Send me an email or shoot a text my way! paul@movingmi.com
I live there :0
Worked there, too much traffic, too many taxes, not interested!
Big Con about Farmington Hills.They are very ANTI DOG. You are not allowed to take a dog on a leash in any of the public parks in Farmington Hills. Farmington Hills has some big, beautiful nature parks but don't even think about it. You have to go to the City of Farmington Shiawasee Park or the city of Livonia parks to walk your dog in a park. Farmington Hills does have a dog park that you can take your dog to. Not much of a park it's and old baseball diamond with 1 tree. It also cost $30 dollars a year to go there. I stopped going because my dog was bitten every time we went there. If you are a dog lover and move to Farmington Hills be aware of their dog ban. I would like to mention that it has been like this for quite awhile so none of the present city council members are responsible for it, although it would be nice if they would consider a change.
Churchill high school graduate
Awesome!! What year?
THE METRODETROITER - Paul Wolfert 01 do you still talk to Dwyer?
I jus graduated highschool n I used to live in farmington hills till freshman year of highschool.we moved because it’s getting really really ghetto now lol.
I live in Farmington hills it sucks honestly the cops fuck with anyone and the people here will call the police on anyone for almost nothing
one of the pros is seeing coryxkenshin
I live here and have never seen the guy 🤷♂️
The worst part about Farmington Hills. No character. Nearly all the old beautiful farm homes that gives a city its character are gone. Bulldozed all these nice houses, cut down every forest, every blade of grass to build Mcmansions. A city full of Mcmansions.
Farmington is better😂
It's close! Farmington Hills has cheaper water bills! 😁
#1 Worst - Police Entrapment
They certainly arent looking for justice, only charges
Just drive a non red colored station wagon that says “ baby on board”. You won’t get pulled over, trust me. I was always pulled over in my red cars but never since switching vehicles.
And well water is so disgusting
Agreed! I don't even like bottled "spring water". I haven't seen any houses in Farmington Hills with well water
The Steam school genuinely has the worst reputation out of all of our schools
It’s so ghetto now
Grew up there. Let me tell you there is NOTHING good about this city. Awful place to live. This is of course subjective though lol
😅 it's not bad. I've helped people buy and sell in just about every city around Metro Detroit. This is one of my favorites 😁
Its awful. Boring, lame, drab, etc. Heritage park is a joke.
Ugh what a racist city. So glad I moved out of Michigan
Before watching the video I will say I have been a part of f.h. for over 40 years. My next comment will say what you said were wrong or not.
