Depending on rush hour or not, Romeo is 30-45 minutes from Troy. It is a nice community with good schools. Every modern convenience (like Walmart

) is nearby. It is a safe town, though I recall when I was looking for houses there that the locals considered part of the town less desirable--though I wouldn't take that to mean unsafe, just that the houses weren't kept up as well. In general, Romeo has some sections that are very upscale and populated by executive families from the Detroit area who wanted a more small-town atmosphere.
