 The attraction of Rochester and Rochester Hills, population just
over 70,000, is innovative housing, a rural atmosphere and the outstanding services
offered to residents. Downtown Rochester has a small town ambiance with an old-fashioned
railroad station, grain elevator, beautiful parks and a variety of historic sites and
buildings.The Rochester area is one of those unusual
spots in Southeast Michigan with an abundance of rolling hills. This beautiful terrain is
dotted with creeks and ponds.
With the M-59 freeway passing through Rochester Hills, I-75
close by and the area well connected by other major thoroughfares, residents have no
problem commuting to any section of the Detroit metropolitan area. Rochester and Rochester
Hills are approximately 30 miles north of Detroit and 38 miles north of Metro Detroit
Airport.
