Probably Detroit or its peripheral cities (there are some nice ones, Birmingham, Royal Oak and more). Dan Gilbert (Quicken Loans) is trying to revive downtown and investing in new startups.
Also it's only 45min away from Ann Arbor which is an awesome city.
You can rent an apartment for the cost of monthly parking in SF :)
- npguy 14y agoThanks for the data point. Are these neighborhoods good school districts as well?
- smartwater 14y agoYou have a 1 in 43 chance of becoming a victim of a crime in Detroit: http://www.neighborhoodscout.com/mi/detroit/crime/ http://www.neighborhoodscout.com/mi/detroit/crime/ I recommend Boston.
- israelyc 14y agoThats Detroit proper (do not move to downtown Detroit or Flint :) but the cities around Detroit are good, and I don't know much about the schools there but it's worth looking into. Oakland County has some of the richest cities in the US (a lot of old money) so you can easily find a nice city around Detroit that will be cheap and still very protected.
- logn 14y agoI've lived in extremely high crime areas before. One study of my neighborhood predicted I had a good chance to be dead within 5-10 years because of crime. The truth is that unless you're part of the drug trade or other nefarious dealings, you're usually pretty safe. I can't speak for Detroit, but I'm always suspect of these stats.
- johnrgrace 14y agoRochester/Birmingham and other cities have some of the best schools in the state. The northern burbs are on par with any good suburban area in the country.
