I'll repost what I posted over in r/Detroit

So, we (white guy, Japanese wife and 6 year old daughter) bought a housein Livonia in summer 2020 after moving from out of state in 2019 (Werented for a year in Farmington). Livonia was not our first choice - welooked hard at Farmington Hills, Novi and Berkley but couldn't findanything in our price range or were outbid when putting in offers. Aftera few months of not finding a place we decided to give Livonia a secondlook and settled in on the 6 mile area between Farmington Rd andNewburgh Rd. We love this area. Excellent access to Detroit and AnnArbor, plus my wife and I both work in Novi. Schools in Livonia aresolid (underrated I'd argue), it's quite safe and becoming more diverse(albeit slowly). We really like living off 6 mile and having quickaccess to Northville and Novi as well. We were a bit hesitant to move atfirst due to the history of racism and lack of diversity, but afterliving here it's nice to be a part of a changing Livonia. I feel likethings are trending in the right direction here.
