Northville is a charming city outside Detroit with its own personality
Northville may be 27 miles out from Detroit, but don’t let the distance fool you. This Michigan city has a dynamic personality that demands a closer look. Jo-Allison Floyd, a resident for nearly 40 years, says it’s the ideal place to live. When asked what makes Northville so special, she says, “All the buildings are all quite old. That’s the charm, actually. It’s a beautiful little town with gorgeous neighborhoods and a very vibrant historic downtown. There’s a lot of restaurants and cute shops. We have excellent schools and good services.”
