Bloomfield Hills, MI
Bloomfield Hills has consistently ranked among the wealthiest small cities in Michigan, built around large wooded lots and a rolling, lake-dotted landscape that's kept the city's overall development density far lower than most of the surrounding Detroit suburbs. The Cranbrook Educational Community, founded in the 1920s by newspaper publisher George Gough Booth, combines a prestigious private school, an art academy, and a science institute across a campus whose Arts and Crafts and Art Deco architecture, much of it designed by Finnish architect Eliel Saarinen, has made it one of the most architecturally significant educational campuses in the entire country. The city's public and private schools have consistently ranked among the strongest in Michigan, a reputation reinforced directly by the presence of Cranbrook's own respected academy, and that combination has made Bloomfield Hills one of the most consistently competitive and expensive residential markets anywhere in Oakland County. Bloomfield Hills's combination of large, low-density wooded lots, one of the most architecturally significant educational campuses in the country in Cranbrook, and consistently top-ranked schools has made it one of the wealthiest and most academically distinguished suburbs anywhere in the greater Detroit metropolitan area.
VS
Birmingham, MI
Birmingham sits along Woodward Avenue north of Detroit, and its downtown has developed into one of the more sophisticated small-city shopping and dining districts in the entire metro area, drawing comparisons in local media to upscale urban retail corridors well beyond what its modest population of roughly 22,000 might otherwise suggest. The city's concentration of art galleries and antique dealers has made it a genuine destination for collectors across the broader region, and the annual Birmingham Village Fair and other civic events have reinforced the city's walkable, pedestrian-oriented downtown as a consistent draw for both residents and visitors from across Oakland County. Woodward Avenue itself, which runs directly through Birmingham's downtown, is recognized as one of the earliest paved highways in the United States and remains closely associated with Detroit's automotive heritage, having served for decades as the informal proving ground for street racing and cruising culture tied to the city's car-manufacturing history. Birmingham's combination of a genuinely upscale and walkable downtown shopping and gallery district, a strong local arts and antiques market, and its position on the historically significant Woodward Avenue corridor has made it one of the more sophisticated and consistently desirable suburbs anywhere north of Detroit.
