Dexter

Dexter is the kind of small town where the local coffee shop knows your order and your kids walk to school. About 20 minutes northwest of Ann Arbor, it has a charming downtown, great schools, and a growing food scene. If you work remotely most of the week and only commute in once or twice, Dexter gives you that small-town life with Ann Arbor access.

Housing stock: Village homes, newer subdivisions, farmettes
