Michigan’s motto is ”Si Quaeris Peninsulam Amoenam Circumspice,” which means, “If you seek a pleasant peninsula, look about you.”  You can’t catch a glance at it, though, unless you get a bit closer!  Take a gander at what Warren’s been up to lately …

Warren was identified as one of the cities for the Cool Cities Neighborhoods in Progress Initiative.  This initiative provides state dollars that go toward revitalizing strategically targeted areas of the city, which includes much of downtown Warren.  The expected results are to retain the existing census, attract foot traffic and business, to create jobs and to generate growth.  To use the political term of the day, this all is done in order to stimulate the economy of Warren.  Massive development has been ongoing in this city and much more is on the horizon.  You won’t want to miss the evolution and expansion of Warren, Michigan.  It’s an exciting time of transition for this city.

That’s not all that is going on in Warren, though.  Located just 8 miles north of Detroit, it’s one of the largest suburbs of Detroit with a population of around 138,000.  It’s known as #1 in the nation for resident longevity.  The average length for living in Warren is 35.5 years.  This is due to the quality of life the city offers, along with the multitude of attractions and activities accessible within walking distance, or just driving minutes away.

If higher education, quality of life, accessible entertainment and social and family activities are important to you, then you need to make a stop in Warren.

You’ve got the Universal Mall, the Detroit Historical Museum, the Warren Family YMCA, Hamtramck Disneyland, Starlight Archery, Push Pockets Billiards, the Warren Symphony Orchestra, the Farmer’s Market, All World Gymnastics, available private schools, the waterfront just minutes away, tons of technical institutes, a host of historical markers, movie theaters, parks, ski resorts, a variety of restaurants, libraries, so many schools, a bevy of bars, a covey of colleges, the arts and so much more.

The global headquarters for GM is located here.  The Dragonmead Microbrewery is also a headquarters of sorts.  Beer connoisseurs from all over the country come to visit and taste the brewery’s exceptional creations.  Here you’ll find a broad array of award-winning beer including several European beers.  They even have beverages for the little ones.  You can either order food from the menu or order takeout to be delivered to eat in the facility.

All of that and the weather is great, too!  The high in the summer is 83.5 degrees, the low in the winter is 18.8 degrees, and the air quality is higher-than-average at 89.9%.  Good temperatures and great air quality — the ingredients conducive for a healthy environment and atmosphere.  What better place from which to commute to work, either by bicycle or car, with the average commute by car at only 26 minutes.  And, what better place to live or raise a family.

Hone in on Warren and you’ll be hooked.  From the flowing fountains to the Farmer’s Market, from the brewery suds to the bowling alleys, you’ll never run out of things to do in Warren, all located right outside your front door.
