"Great community for a young family"

My family relocated to Royal Oak earlier this year, and we have enjoyed living in this quite, pleasant community since moving here. Our neighborhood is very quiet and shady. It is located near two major roadways that traverse the greater Detroit area, but traffic is extremely reasonable. There are numerous parks in the area, and many are within easy walking distance from most neighborhoods. Downtown Royal Oak is very pedestrian friendly and offers an enormous variety of restaurants, bars, and shopping options. Royal Oak is also somewhat of a center of attention from a car and motorcycle enthusiast standpoint. During the summer, downtown Royal Oak becomes a gathering point for motorcycle riders. In August, the Woodward Avenue Dream Cruise travels right through the heart of Royal Oak. The Detroit Zoo is also only a few miles from downtown Royal Oak as well. Overall, it has been an excellent community for our young family.
