Downtown Royal Oak is surrounded by hundreds of stores, theatres for live performances and art films, restaurants, one-of-a-kind-boutiques, galleries and antique shops. The appeal of its historic architecture, along with its young and independent retailers creates a fresh approach to the Main Street of Royal Oak.  This classic small town features a big city feel and is casual, yet hip and sophisticated. It displays a wonderful downtown library, city hall and farmer’s market that welcomes fresh food and flower lovers from the surrounding cities.

 

Designated “The City of Trees,” the city of Royal Oak is a nature lovers dream. The beautiful landscape in both the downtown and residential areas create a picture-perfect backdrop to the already attractive architecture of Royal Oak. The city received its name after it accepted 60 acorns that came from the Royal Oak Tree in England. Those acorns were planted throughout the city and Detroit areas.
