Troy, Michigan is a fantastic, centrally located suburb with a ton to offer. The Historic Troy Village takes you back in time to the 1800s. Not only is the area (11 buildings plus land) a historical trip, it is also community focused offering yoga, walking programs and the Troy Traffic Jam Car Show (August 4th, 2024).

This is a city with a Master Plan. By 2040, the city wants a lot more development of Neighborhood Nodes. Neighborhood Nodes are communities that have a little bit of everything on hand: housing, shopping, community centers, etc.

Joel's Notes

"The City of Tomorrow, Today!" There are so many great places to shop and eat. Some of my favorite spots are Oakland Mall, The Somerset Collection and my FAVORITE Store, The Lego Store!

You can buy almost any car you can think of at The Troy Motor Mall. It's just what it sounds like- it's a bunch of car dealerships of all kinds that are grouped together to make it easier to shop and compare. I tried to trade in the 94.7 WCSX Silverado, but I forgot the title!

It's been a landmark since 1968! Bob Seger even played a concert there one time!

You can find cars of almost every make and model at The Troy Motor Mall. It's on Maple (15 Mile) about half a mile East of Coolidge.

The massive sky scraper that you see at Big Beaver & I-75 is The PNC bank Building!

It's like an old friend that you have not seen in awhile- the inside of Oakland Mall!

It would not be a real trip to Troy without driving along Big Beaver road!

Troy is also known as "The Home of Automation Alley"! Troy is home to lots of technology and design centers!
