Ann Arbor's a great city-clean, relatively low crime, economy is a little better than in other parts of the state. Excellent schools. Cost of living is a bit high.
I can't speak personally of anywhere else, but I hear many parts of Oakland County are nice as well.

How about Plymouth or Ypsilanti? Ann Arbor is definitely a great town.

Im considering Ann Arbor and Belleville. Belleville is betwen the airport and Ann Arbor so I feel its one of the better options if you travel alot like me. Plus I can still get to Detroit fairly quickly to see my friends.

We somewhat recently moved from the Detroit Suburbs and spend most of my 27 years there. The area you described is quite big. Could you tell me a little of what you are looking for, area you would work, etc.,? |

Plymouth is really nice. Marshall is a great town. Do you want rural, urban, historic, quaint, modern, empty,. crowded, do you prefer ready freeway access or low traffic? Do you want a ritzy area? Are shopping malls important to you? Do you want to live in a subdiviion, on a farm, small acreage, etc. Do you want water acess? If so lake, river, great lake. . . .
Are you an outdoorsy person?

Novi, Northville, or Plymouth. Near big city shopping and eating but still far enough away from crime. Great school systems also.

I'm kind of confused - between Lansing and North Macomb seems like a wide area, but it is far north of most of the neighborhoods mentioned here. I was picturing someplace closer to the M-59 corridor like Howell, Hartland maybe Waterford. Closer to Lansing (especially East Lansing) you'd find nice communities like Holt, and closer to Macomb you'd find Utica, Sterling Heights, etc.

West Bloomfield or Farmington Hills are good places to live and acessable to Lansing and North Macomb County, but it depends what you are looking for, Royal Oak is lots of young people and the Farmington/Novi area is more suburban but has some night life, West Bloomfield I just found to be a nice place to live
