Royal Oak

Located just north of Detroit along the famed Woodward Corridor, Royal Oak is a commuter town known for its lively downtown area, which features a variety of shops, restaurants, and entertainment venues. The city has a population of approximately 59,000 residents and offers a mix of residential neighborhoods and commercial districts. Royal Oak is home to the Detroit Zoo, a popular attraction for both locals and out-of-town visitors. Major industries in Royal Oak include healthcare, retail, and professional services. The city is also home to Fagan McManus, P.C., which has offices at 25892 Woodward Avenue.

Detroit

The largest population center in Michigan, Detroit has a rich history and diverse population that make it one of the Midwest’s iconic cities. It is particularly renowned for its contributions to the automotive and music industries, as it is home to both General Motors and Motown Records—the latter of which takes its name from Detroit’s nickname, the Motor City. In 2013, Detroit became the largest American city ever to declare bankruptcy. However, in the decade since its restructuring, significant urban renewal projects, combined with a low cost of living and private investment, have revitalized the city and spurred considerable growth. Key sectors in Detroit include automotive manufacturing, technology, and healthcare. Detroit’s cultural heritage, coupled with ongoing development projects, continues to attract new residents and businesses.

Troy

Situated in Oakland County, Troy is a thriving suburban community with a population of about 87,000 people. The city is widely recognized for its excellent public schools and is a hub for business and shopping, including the upscale Somerset Collection Mall. Troy’s economy is robust, with a strong presence of automotive and financial companies.

Auburn Hills

Located in Oakland County about 26 miles north of downtown Detroit, Auburn Hills is home to an estimated population of over 24,300 people. It is home to the U.S. headquarters of auto conglomerates Stellantis, Volkswagen, and BorgWarner. Its automotive history is deep, beginning in 1908, when John Dodge purchased a farmhouse in the area to use as his country home. The city was formerly home to the Palace of Auburn Hills, where the Detroit Pistons played until 2017, as well as the William P. Chrysler Museum of automotive history.

Lansing

The capital city of Michigan and the largest population center in Ingham County, Lansing is also famous as the home of Michigan State University. The metro area—commonly referred to as Mid-Michigan—has a population of nearly 550,000, making it the third largest in the state after Detroit and Grand Rapids. In addition to the state government and MSU, major employers include General Motors, McLaren, and Auto-Owners Insurance.

Grand Rapids

Grand Rapids is the second-largest city in Michigan and the county seat of Kent County. Its nicknames “Furniture City” and “Beer City USA,” as well as its lengthy history in the automotive and aviation industries, reflect its diverse economy, with employment today concentrated in the health, retail, and services sectors. Tourism highlights in the area include the Van Andel Museum Center, the Heritage Hill Historic District, and the Gerald R. Ford Museum, dedicated to the Grand Rapids native who served as the 38th U.S. president.
