The Birmingham/Bloomfield area is an upscale suburb located just north of Detroit.  The City of Birmingham is a small city of 22,000 people with big city amenities.  It includes a stylish shopping and entertainment district in its downtown area which has become known as the area’s premier financial district.  Birmingham’s downtown area is surrounded by beautiful residential neighborhoods where charming newer and older homes can be found on smaller lots ranging in price from the high 300,000’s to over $2,000,000.
 
Birmingham is known for its high level of service and it parks and recreational activities which include two 9-hole golf courses and an indoor ice arena.
 
The City of Bloomfield Hills and Bloomfield Township are Birmingham’s northern and western neighbors and boast estate sized properties with lots typically ranging from ½ to several acres.  Single family homes in these communities are available in virtually all price ranges from $250,000 to several million dollars.
 
While the public education systems in these areas are some of the finest in the country, the area is also known for its private prep schools such as Country Day School and the Cranbrook Schools.  There are also several private country clubs including Oakland Hills Country Club which recently hosted the 35th Ryder Cup Matches.
