Why Live in Livonia
Located 20 miles from downtown Detroit and 25 miles from Ann Arbor, Livonia is one of the most centrally located cities in Wayne County. From its inception in the 1830s until the late 1940s, the area was primarily used for agriculture and dairy farming. When General Motors and Ford Motor Company built plants here in the 1950s, the farming town was transformed into an industrial suburb. These days, Livonia attracts buyers who want access to highly rated schools, a convenient location and lower tax rates.
“Livonia is a thriving suburban haven where community spirit has taken center stage since the 1950s,” says Matthew Talbot, founder and team lead of The Talbot Team of RichRealty. “With top-notch schools and convenient amenities, [it] offers a nurturing environment perfect for families of all shapes and sizes.”
Livonia is 36 square miles, and is home to 95,000 residents, making it the ninth-largest city in Michigan. While this mid-sized city has one of Michigan’s highest State Equalized Values, taxpayers pay the lowest overall tax rate in Wayne County.
“We have the lowest tax rate out of surrounding communities, but we maintain excellent city services,” says Dave MacFarland,
