Quality of life is good here, and you won't find the problems associated with Detroit anywhere nearby, despite its proximity to the main Detroit population.

Despite the city's small size, local residents have made the most of the five city parks in the area. The annual Fishing Derby, Kids Day in the Park, Youth Baseball Tournament, ice-skating, and other key rec. programs are all spearheaded and run by community volunteers.

Every year, the city enjoys an influx of visitors as the Farmingting Founder's festival explodes onto teh scene with amazing displays of art, cooking, entertainment, and children's activites are abound.
