Detroit moves the world. Voted one of the ‘coolest cities to visit’ by Travel and Leisure, Vogue agrees that “Detroit is having a Major Moment.”  But this city is so much more than that. Detroiters in this ‘birthplace of the middle class’ continue to build the future, invent new genres, and attract global audiences for experiences you can only get in Detroit. Add on Detroit’s historic architecture, award-winning public spaces, a thriving arts scene, and mix of Fortune 500 headquarters alongside an innovation ecosystem ranked one of the ‘fastest-growing’ in the world, and you get unmatched culture, boundless opportunity, and serious quality of life. For the current resident and the relocator, Detroit offers something rare: the chance to live in a major American metropolis where you can still make a serious impact–in your industry or in your community–all while enjoying a cost of living that means your dreams are actually within reach.
