Best Places To Live In Michigan

 

Best City MidlandWhen I was eight years old my 3rd grade teacher, Mrs. Ramo asked me a simple question. She asked me where I would live if I could live anywhere I wanted. See Mrs. Ramo thought she knew the answer to this question because every kid wanted to live in Florida. Florida was where Mickey Mouse lived and Disney World was the best place on Earth. My response however couldn’t have been further from what she expected my little mouth to say…

I told my teacher, that if I could live anywhere I wanted, I would surely move to Belding, Michigan. With the biggest smile on my face, I proceeded to explain to Mrs. Ramo that Belding was where my Grandparents lived and that was where I got to eat as many homemade Long Johns as my stomach could hold!

There wasn’t and still isn’t anything truly spectacular about Belding, Michigan. With a census population of 5,757 and a community of mostly farmers. Belding garnishes most of its yearly notoriety from the Gus Macker Basketball Tournament that brings nearly 100,000 people to Belding every year!

Today I still love Long Johns and Belding is still a pretty cool little town but not the “Best” place to live in Michigan. Lucky for us though real research has been done and the results are in. Here is the list of Top 5 places to live in Michigan.

1. Midland

  • With a crime rate 53% below the state average and a median household income of $48,843, 5% above the state average, Midland is a pretty awesome place to live. Midland is also home to Dow Chemical and they have made cool places like the Dow Gardens and Dow Diamond Baseball Park.
