One of the best decisions I made when deciding where to open our RE/MAX Innovation office was to choose Southgate, Michigan. Southgate is not only a friendly and progressive small-town community, but it also offers many family-friendly activities and centralized access to some of the important places we need to go.
Looking for outdoor recreation? You have plenty to choose from. If you are a golfer, then you may want to hit the greens at Southwind's Golf Course. There is ice-skating, figure skating and hockey leagues at the Southgate Civic Ice Arena. Plenty of recreation opportunities can also be found at one of the nine neighborhood parks and play fields as well as two community parks.
One event that residents look forward to in Southgate is Heritage Days. This 4-day festival includes a carnival, arts & crafts fair, live music, a "taste of the town" and fireworks. A car show follows the parade. This year's event is scheduled for Thursday, June 16 through Sunday, June 19.
Looking for good places to eat? Southgate offers plenty of local restaurants and major chain restaurants that you can view at this link. One of our personal favorites is the Southgate Grill where we have always experienced good meals and friendly service.
Shopping is plentiful in Southgate and offers many additional options in neighboring cities. Check out this link for a list of local options. If you are looking for a shopping mall, there is Southland Center located in Taylor, Michigan. You can also find most any major retail store located within a 10 mile radius of Southgate.
Access to the airport, hospitals and colleges is important to many families. Detroit Metro Airport is approximately 11 miles away. Nearby hospitals include Henry Ford Wyandotte, Beaumont Hospital and Kindred Hospital. Additionally, there are many universities within close driving distance such as U of M Dearborn, Henry Ford College, Wayne State University and more.
Lastly, not only is Southgate a friendly community, it is also an affordable community to buy a home in. The median house price is $94,000 and is expected to rise 3.4% over the coming year per Zillow. Our RE/MAX Innovation team loves the community of Southgate and is proud to grow our business here.
