Shelby, MI: Great for Families 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( Aug 09, 2010) Shelby, MI is one of the best kept secrets in Michigan.

The city of Shelby is located right near Rochester Hills, which offers some great shopping and a vibrant downtown. Shelby is also home to some of the best blue ribbon public schools in the state of Michigan.
