Are you relocating to West Blooomfield Michigan?

West Bloomfield Michigan is what I would call an upper middle class to high end township in Oakland County.  Located in the Northwestern suburbs of Detroit it has easy access around the city.   West Bloomfield is a 35 -40 minute drive to downtown Detroit or Ann Arbor.  West Bloomfield MI (like much of Southeastern Michigan) was originally a farming community. Late in the 19th and early in the 20th century, it became a popular lake resort area, accessible from Detroit by interurban railway.  West Bloomfield grew from a farming community, to a lake community, and became a highly desirable upscale suburban community.  Today West Bloomfield is a well developed and well maintained area of single family homes and some up-scale condominiums and apartments.

 According to the 2000 census, the township had a population of 64,860 in 2000.  It has grown since then, so I will say the poplulation has grown.  When relocating to West Bloomfield Michigan you most likely are looking for a larger home in a good school district with people that you can identify with.  People with the same "social economic status".  In the metro Detroit real estate market West Bloomfield is widely known for its larger homes, good school district, and being a community with middle to high socioeconomic status with many holding advanced degrees and working in professional capacities in local business and industry. West Bloomfield is a varied community of all races, cultures, and religions.  West Bloomfield also has a large Chaldean and Jewish presence.
