I Love Life in Farmington, MI! 4 rating By Anonymous ( May 28, 2018) Farmington, MI is a place like I always dreamed of finding when I was young and planning my future home. I wanted to live in a place where the people were friendly and genuinely caring, where everyone cared about how their homes and yards and communities looked, where the schools ...Read More were great and where it just felt good to live. Well, I have been living in Farmington for 5 years now and I can happily say I found my perfect place! This is one of the best areas in Michigan, and I am certainly not the only one who feels that way!

There are so many great things to do and see here in Farmington. There's the Motown History Museum, ZapZone arcade games, laser tag, and go-karts, The Culinary Escapes food tours, Sport-N-Fun mini golf and go-karting, and the very awesome Twelve Oaks Mall. If you are like me and looking for a wonderful place to call home, I encourage you to come see Farmington. You will love it here! Read Less
