Romeo is a rural Michigan village that embraces local businesses
Teetering on the edge of suburban and rural Michigan is the historic Village of Romeo. The village started as an agriculture and lumbering community, and slowly grew into a leading manufacturing center by the 1850s. While its industrial landscape has shifted over the years, Romeo maintains the charming and romantic atmosphere that its name suggests. Long-standing brick storefronts and eateries line Main Street, where locals can be found sipping on coffee and catching up with friends outside of cafés or shopping at one of the local boutiques.
“It’s a small, rural town with a local mindset,” says Mary Rayman, a real estate agent with Keller Williams Lakeside who has lived in Romeo for over 30 years. “We don’t have the big chain restaurants and stores that you can find in nearby communities. Locals consistently support one another, both personally and in business. For example, I have gone to the same hairdresser for 25 years, and she has sent many of her clients my way when they are looking for homes.”
Washington Township residents enjoy Thee Office Pub for cold drinks and tasty food.
Downtown Romeo, adjacent to Washington Township, is a great attraction to residents.

Commuters take State Route 53 to downtown Detroit
“We’re about 40 minutes from Detroit, so it’s a good place for commuters looking for a slower pace,” Rayman says. Route 53 serves as Romeo’s eastern border and can be taken all the way to downtown Detroit and the surrounding suburbs.
