You missed the best city in Michigan, Traverse City. Located in northwest Michigan on Grand Traverse Bay off of Lake Michigan. Beautiful water, entertainment, boating, good beaches on the bay, great shopping on main street downtown to just walk around, nearby is world class Interlochen Arts Acedemy for classical music that students come from all over the world to study music and the arts, located on Green Lake.

Absolutely love living in Downtown Detroit now, been here 12 years, so much to do , whether it’s pro sports, theater, museums , numerous entertainments, fabulous biking and walking and biking trails, Belle Isle, Beautiful riverfront, (nominated as number one in the nation the past two years by USA today, ) and wonderful neighbors of all types. We have a beautiful condo high up in the air overlooking the city, the night view with all the lights on is spectacular and everyone visiting just marvels at it. We spend a great deal of every day where the weather is decent outside doing things and walking, no crazy car commuting to work or socially.

I just wanna live in a nice safe quiet neighborhood all alone by myself; that is close proximity to basic amenities like grocery shopping, general stores, and public transportation.
