HAHA.... I'll give you Birmingham.... but not Troy or Sterling Heights.

Sterling Heights is essentially the Michigan version of Cape Coral minus the canals...... a bunch of houses and not much else.

Troy is a good city.... but no different than any other nice suburb anywhere else.

If you want the "wealthy, beautiful" suburbs..... Birmingham, anything with Bloomfield in the name (there are several), exurb townships like Oakland and Washington and the Grosse Pointes (again, there are several)....

You probably know better than me so no arguing here. Nonetheless, people are always dogging Detroit but there are some extremely nice suburbs.

Estimated median household income in 2007: $86,838 (it was $80,861 in 2000)
Birmingham: $86,838

Estimated median house or condo value in 2007: $385,304 (it was $300,700 in 2000)
Birmingham: $385,304



Is that town considered to be the wealthiest in Michigan?

I bet 34% of Americans think the moon landing was fake and pro-wrestling is real, too.

Close... but I don't think so. Birmingham is like the Naples of Michigan.....wealthy, yes but it's still a regular city with a large and varied population spanning most if not all income levels..

The wealthiest place in Michigan has got to be one of the Bloomfields:

Bloomfield Hills: Median income is over $200,000

49% of homes $1,000,000+

Also it is the wealthiest city in the US outside of CT, FL or CA.

Bloomfield is the Palm Beach of Michigan.
