Parts of Grosse Pointe are attractive, but overall the area isn't quite like Buckhead, with which you may be familiar. The best shopping and dining in the metropolitan Detroit area will be found in the North Woodward suburbs like Birmingham and Troy if that is major factor for you, but the freeways do offer good access. Trips into Detroit for cultural, sporting and other attractions are popular, but the people you meet here will give more detailed information on those.
How crude, I am guessing A2 means Ann Arbor, what do you know about Detroit. My son owns a home on Harvard, EEV, Our other lives in Midtown, They have owned property in GP. Nice areas

Lots of great places to eat and party on the east side too. Mostly really happy in the D. Really wish subs would stop commenting. The opinions are non important living in burbs!
