Hi Moms.. I need some opinions of what area is best to buy a house right now? We currently live in Allen Park (but in Melvindale school district) and we are looking to move to a better school district and overall area! This area is starting to go downhill... We've thought about Trenton, Farmington Hills, Livonia, even Grosse Ile with today's home prices.. Thats just a few off the top of my head.. What's your opinions? Good School system is very important. Also don't want to be more than aprx 30 minutes from this area (Allen Park) since I have a lot of family and friends in this area.. Thanks :)

What can I do next?

Hi A.,
I was glancing through Mamasource and read your request. I am not responding to the school districts but I was impressed with your situation of being an at- home mom. I am a Mary Kay Beauty Consultant and I have found that most women join Mary Kay when they are at-home mothers. Doing this at home creates a routine in you life and there are no boundaries. You can do this wherever you live. If this interests you at all, please give me a call at ###-###-####. Have a great day!

We just moved from Dearborn to Grosse Pointe Park and love it. All the Grosse Pointes are similar. Good schools and community services. We drive back to Dearborn frequently in about 30 to 35 mins

Hey A.,

I work in Novi and have heard nothing but wonderful things about the school system and since I work in Novi and drive around that area, it's a great area to live in.

Livonia still has a wonderful school system and great family comunity. So does canton (but canton is very busy) but tons and tons of family things there.

A. -
Come on over to the Island!
CNN Money Magazine just ranked us 38th best in the country! The online article gives you all sort of stats and the ability to compare to your town.
I've been here for about six years - I'm orgianlly from the Novi-Livonia-Canton area. It was my husband that introduced me to Grosse Ile. It's been great here!
In terms of schools - Grosse Ile is ranked as one of the top/best in the State. Last time I checked we were right up at the top with the likes of Bloomfield Hills & Birmingham. Small class sizes (18-22 Students in Elementary.)
There is alot to offer here- All sorts of community programs,clubs, golfing, dance. Several Churches & Social organizations.
There are also some great housing opportunities right now. Feel free to email me privately if you have an specific questions.

I currently live in Redford. We have researched schools around the area and have found that Farmington School District is the best in Oakland County. We were going to move there but have been unable to sell our house.
