Not only is Ferndale a fantastic place for first-time homebuyers, but it is just an amazing little city in general. The close-knit community, artsy DIY culture, excellent downtown full of shopping & dining, and number of festivals make it a wonderful place to call home. What is your favorite city in Metro Detroit?
Whistle Stop is a fantastic dine, but that is technically located in Pleasant Ridge 😉 It's super easy to get the two confused. As small as Ferndale is at 3.88 square miles, Pleasant Ridge is just north of the city limit and only 0.57 square miles in size.
Hey Michael, do you know if Ferndale would be a nice livable place for single people (without families)? How is public transportation over there? Is getting around town gonna be OK even like for people who don't own a car? I am on a fixed income, and do not plan on commuting to Detroit much. I just wanna live in a nice safe quiet neighborhood, that is within close proximity to all basic amenities like grocery shopping, general stores, and public transportation. Looking to rent or possibly buy a small home. What is your advice or opinion on this? 🤔
