Livonia

Livonia is a character rich city that has it all: a full array of housing to accommodate all income levels, several regional shopping centers, strip business development on nearly all north-south, east-west mile roads, and an industrial corridor combining major railroad and highway access to all parts of the metropolitan region.

Livonia began as a rural farm community and has evolved into the eighth largest city in Michigan. However, Livonia has preserved much of its heritage through historical preservation, and the acquisition and development of over 1800 acres of park land and open space.

New development is taking place down the Interstate 275 Freeway corridor spilling over from southern Oakland County. This unique combination of factors has resulted in growth which has been without equal in other parts of the county. However, the city is at the point where the remaining developable land is rapidly diminishing.

The Interstate 96 Freeway and C&O Railroad form the spine of Livonia's industrial corridor running east and west. The I-275 Freeway provides excellent north-south transportation access.
