Here are some photos of Canton Michigan if you are looking for Canton relocation information.  Canton Michigan is one city that planned it's growth very carefully.  Canton has designed a nice municipal complex located on Canton Center Rd just south of Cherry Hill.

The Library is located right across from the townships municipal offices.

                                                                       This is the view of Canton's municipals offices from Canton Center Rd.       

Here is a Photo of Canton's fire department.

This is Canton Michigan recreation center - they call it Summit on the Park.

All of these muncipal buildings are within walking distance of each other.  And after you finish going to the library, or the Townships offices you can head out back to Heritage Park.  Heritage Park is a very large park with playsets, baseball fields, and picnic areas.

I hope these photos of Canton Michigan help you if you have a Canton relocation in your future.

If you are relocating to Michigan Canton is a great place to raise your family.  Many beautiful parks, nice subdivisions, and a good school system make Canton Michigan a place to check out.

 When you are moving from out of state you might want to know Canton Michigan's demographics so you know whether you want to buy a piece of Canton real estate. 

Canton is a great place to live if you are relocating to Michigan.  Some of these Canton demographics may have changed from 2000.  Canton was one of Michigan fastest growing cities in  the early 2000's.  If anything I would believe that Canton Township Michigan may have more college graduates and the median income may have risen.

If you are thinking of relocating to Novi Michigan and buying a piece of Novi real estate here is Novi demographics.   This will give you a glimpse of the city and what it's residents characteristics are.

As I have said in some of my other metro Detroit relocation posts you have to remember that some of this demographic information has changed because it is over ten years old.  In the last ten years the City of Novi I believe has become wealthier.  There have been many high priced Novi neighborhoods built in the last ten years.

If you are going to be relocating to Michigan how do you know where you are going to live?  As a real estate agent we can't steer people to one area because of race, religion, family status.  Over the years there has been housing discrimination against different religions, different races, different ethnic groups.

Detroit and it's suburbs were once racially divided.  I believe because of the sub-prime mortgage market it allowed Metro Detroit to become more ethnically and racially diverse.  The ease of getting a mortgage helped us become a better city.  It's natural the immigrants move into the poor areas because that is where the low cost housing is.  It's natural that people want to be with people that are similar to them.  New York has little Italy, San Francisco has China town.  Most major cities have ethnic areas.

Metro Detroit has those areas but what is a little different is that even amongst our "individual ethnic areas" many other religious, cultures, and races live.  Metro Detroit has become a melting pot.  Metro Detroit ethnic areas are like other big city ethnic areas.  We have great ethnic stores, bakeries, restaurants that are unique to the area.  They aren't chain restaurants.  They are unique and great places to visit different cultures right in our city.   Places to worship according to their culture and sometime in their language.

If you live here in the Metro Detroit area you know that

• Ford Motor Company employees live on the West side of town
• Hamtramck is where our "Polish community live"
• Birmingham, Grosse Pointe, Northville, Grosse Ile, Plymouth, Bloomfield Hills, West Bloomfield, Rochester are our wealthier towns 
• Our "Greek town" no longer has Greeks living together because it has become a commercial area.
• Dearborn MI has one of the highest concentrations of Arabic descent citizens in the US.
• Royal Oak, Rochester, Milford, Howell, Plymouth, Northville have old time central down towns
• Chrysler employees live north of Detroit
• Southwest Detroit is home to our Mexican population
• Ypsilanti, Ann Arbor, and Lansing are our college towns
• Ann Arbor and Novi have a good sized Asian population
• Oakland County is our lake real estate area
• Canton has a high population of Indian and Pakistani citizens 

But if you look deeper into the cities none of them are over 50% of the ethnic groups I described.   Italians, Greeks, Irish, Eastern European, Russian, and Germans all live in these cities.  We have all come from some other country.  Some of the cities only have a 10, 20, or 30% concentration of the ethnic group I described.  Like Novi it is a beautiful diverse city with great schools the Asian population may only be 10%.  Many of the foreign car company house their employees in Novi.  Mazda used to house their oversea employees down river.  But I wanted to give a glimpse of the metro Detroit area where you can find great authentic places to eat, and find people that you relate to and feel comfortable with. 

Metro Detroit is a great place to live.  If you are going to relocate to Michigan there are lots of great places to live.
