I live in SCS, and some of the best housing there is between Jefferson and Greater Mack, especially around 11 Mile. That is also the location of the Lakeview School district, the best of the 3 there.

I live near 11 Mile & Little Mack, smaller housing stock, but all brick homes. One of the best things about where I live is that I'm on the freeway in 2 minutes... either WB I-696... and can be at the Oakland County border in 10 minutes, downtown [[WB I-94) in 20 minutes. It's a great spot for hopping onto freeways, and the housing stock towards the lake is comparable to Royal Oak.
