A Rochester Hills subdivision with Shakespearean influences
The Shakespearean subdivision of Stratford Knolls derives its name from Stratford-upon-Avon, the Bard’s hometown in the English countryside.

Homes with Colonial Revival and Tudor influences come with competitive prices, plus a highly rated school system and plenty of nearby shopping, casting a unique appeal on the Michigan "hamlet."
There are a variety of home shapes & sizes found throughout Stratford Knolls.
