Saline

Saline is where families move for the schools — and they're right to. Saline Area Schools consistently rank among the best in the state. The downtown has real charm with local restaurants and shops, and the community events are the kind of thing that makes you feel like you actually belong somewhere. About 20 minutes south of Ann Arbor, it's suburban but with genuine small-town character.

Housing stock: Newer subdivisions, historic village homes, family homes
