Michigan, also known as the Great Lakes State, has a population of 9.987 million people as of 2019 with thousands of people choosing to move there each year. People choose to make Michigan their new home for a variety of reasons. The Great Lakes State offers everything from affordable housing to stunning natural landscapes. With a cost of living estimated to have an index of around 96.7, Michigan offers a low cost of living that is much lower than the national average. Housing, in fact, currently scores a 76 (with the national average scoring around 100). This means that, when moving to Michigan, you can expect to spend less on housing and more on the things you enjoy.

Michigan is a land of great natural beauty. From the colorful autumn leaves to the majesty of Tahquamenon Falls, Michigan is beautiful. Any outdoor lover will find themselves in awe. Michigan is also home to a variety of scenic lighthouses, placed there due to the necessity created by the many large lakes in the area. Standing as beautiful remnants of Michigan’s past, tourists and residents alike visit the lighthouses and they are a popular attraction in the state.

Do you love the beach? Although Michigan doesn’t border the ocean, it still has its fair share of beaches for you to enjoy. After all, Michigan isn’t known as the Great Lakes State for nothing! Lake Michigan, Lake Superior, and Lake Huron, along with some of the state’s smaller lakes, all provide excellent sandy beaches where you can enjoy some time in the sun.

Finally, Michigan is a state with a great focus on quality education. The University of Michigan is considered to be one of the most highly regarded public universities in the country. By moving to Michigan, residency will qualify you (and your children) for a lower tuition at the University of Michigan, earning you significant savings on a top-notch education.

Now that you know more about the state of Michigan overall, it’s time to narrow our focus to the most popular town to visit and live in Michigan. By far, the most popular town in Michigan is Detroit, also known as the Motor City. One of the biggest reasons that Detroit is one of the best towns to visit and live in Michigan is the fact that the startup community is booming, meaning your career options are nearly endless here. With Detroit’s startup scene exploding, you’ll never run out of possible career moves. In fact, within the last three years, there has been a 50 percent increase in the number of Detroit-based companies and Detroit startups received more than 62 million dollars from venture capital firms in the last year alone.

Detroit is also considered to be one of the top most innovative hubs in the United States, outranking popular cities such as Chicago, Portland, and Denver. As the Motor City, Detroit is well-known for its innovations in the auto industry but the innovation doesn’t stop there! Areas like tech and life sciences are also seeing a huge boost in development in recent years as well. More than 40 percent of funded startups in Detroit are information technology companies while 20 percent are life sciences companies.

Another thing to love about life in Detroit is the public transport system. Additionally, with 2,300 miles of protected pathways, bike lanes, and routes, as well as company-sponsored ride sharing, Detroit grants you the power to choose the type of commuter that you want to be. This makes for a better commuting experience and getting from Point A to Point B is never difficult in the city of Detroit.

Finally, it should be noted that the cost of living in Detroit, much like the majority of Michigan towns, is well below the national average. In fact, the cost of living in Detroit is estimated to be around 27 percent lower than the national average! As an added bonus, the cost of housing in Detroit is 80 percent lower than the national average. If you’re looking to live in a city with no shortage of amenities where you can easily find your dream home at an affordable price, look
no further than Detroit!
