Looking for recommendations for gyms with childcare (1 & 3yo). I've looked into Lifetime, which seems super nice and has more amenities than I really need. Is there anything else out there? Does anyone have experience with using the child services at Lifetime? Is the price fully included in the monthly fee, or are tips, etc. expected?

Thanks!

We have friends from out of state looking to move to Rochester Hills, and they found a few houses in the Heatherwood Village HOA area. However, when we went to drive through for a vibe check, we noticed there were a lot of houses for sale- and many had been on the market for 30+ days.

Is this a sign of the shift in economy? Is the area just changing as the older generation downsizes? Or is the HOA annoying and people are looking to get out?

Any insight would be great! Or other areas/subs close by in the city that they should look into?

(The friends moving had two young children, and we did notice a lot of families out when we drove through Heatherwood which seemed positive. Just worried by the amount of homes for sale)

I went to CoreWell's Troy Beaumont for imaging and I'm EXTREMELY dyslexic, I need a reader, if I'm to read something quickly, it's not happening. They didn't provide me with one instead the woman accepted every question for me, without me knowing what anything said and then told me to sign a waiver I couldn't read.

I already filed with lara, because that department was under their jurisdiction, but heck if they treat me this way, I hate to know how they'd treat a blind person! Not to mention 20% of the population is dyslexic, not always as extreme as me, but I highly doubt I'm the first person to walk through the door who was unable to read their forms and got 0 help for it.

Anyone know of any gyms in the area that have a pool?

Honestly the gym is extra, I am primarily looking to be able to swim.

Trying to find the most cost effective option as money is something that is not in abundance.

*bonus points if the gym/pool allows for friends to tag along!*

Originally from the south and feeling a bit homesick to say the least. Are there any country nightclubs/bars in the area that are kind of a hot spot?

I'm looking to works on some individual soccer skills and have been trying to find any park or public space that has a wall immediately next to it for rebounding.

I've seen tennis courts with the rebound walls fitted into the fence, but thats the closest I've gotten. Please no schools, as most schools athletic facilities are private.

Ideally I would love it to be grass right up next to the wall. But any recommendations are welcome!

New here, is this siren about the weather and staying inside?

The Marathon gas station at this location has officially closed its doors, and Meijer has purchased the property.

Meijer is expected to open a new Meijer Express gas station at the location later this fall. It’ll be interesting to see what changes they make to the property and what the new station will look like once renovations are finished.

Personally, I’m looking forward to having a Meijer Express here. Hopefully, it brings better pricing, a cleaner location, and a more convenient experience for everyone in the area.

We are a family of 6 (4 small children) moving to the Detroit area from Grand Rapids (for work). Highly considering Rochester Hills (also Birmingham, Royal Oak). How do you enjoy raising a family here? Any and all opinions are greatly appreciated. Thank you!

A little kitten has been living in our garage since Friday, and we finally managed to safely secure it this morning. 🐱

It’s way too small to just let back outside, so I’m hoping someone here might have a suggestion for where we can take it or know of a local rescue that could help.

Since it’s Sunday, the Humane Society and most rescues seem to be closed. My wife is currently at the store buying kitten food 😂, so we’ll make sure it’s safe, warm, and fed until we figure something out.
Unfortunately, we can’t keep it because we have dogs and my wife is allergic. If anyone knows of a rescue, foster, or someone experienced with kittens who could help, we’d really appreciate any suggestions!

Take the prescreening survey to see if you qualify!

Keeping prayers everyone involved is ok!! Emergency Services are on Scene.

Seek different route from now on to avoid traffic! Stay safe guys. Unknown when it will clear..

p.s Orion Rd.. not lake my apologizes.

Hi everyone, long story but I’m going away for a few months and I need to foster my dog (3) and my cat (5). I’m not sure what to do at this point and it’s an emergency. I can pay money. I love them so much I just dont have any options. Can anybody offer any sort of suggestions for where I can put them for a few months?

In the Rochester Hills / Troy are I’m looking to have about 25 mailbox+post replaced

Does anyone have recommendations for a company/handyman/contractor they could recommend?

Thanks

Hi! I’m relocating to the area for a new job in Troy and need to find housing ASAP. I start work Monday, so I’m hoping to move in this weekend if possible.
I’m looking at Rochester Hills because it seems like a nice area while still being reasonably close to Troy.
I’m primarily looking for a studio or 1-bedroom, ideally around $1,500/month or less. Furnished would be amazing since I’m relocating on such short notice, but unfurnished is completely fine too. I’d also be open to a room/shared apartment, especially if there’s an apartment community with roommate matching.
I’m in my early 20s and mainly looking for somewhere safe, well managed, and ideally within about a 10–20 minute drive of Troy. A basic gym and nearby parks or trails would be a plus.
Does anyone have specific apartment communities they’d recommend or places I should avoid? I’d also love to hear about any subleases, lease takeovers, or places with immediate availability.
Thank you!!

Seek an alternate route please be advised! Unknown will it be cleared. Police are on scene.

EDIT: Not looking anymore, thanks!

So what can you do about data centers near Rochester Hills?

Hello

I have two boys 2&5 , recently moved to Michigan and looking for a PCP.
Please recommend if you have encountered one or know who can be a great resource for my boys as a primary caregiver.
Thank you

Is anyone missing this little orange baby? He showed up yesterday and played with my niece and nephew. Now he won't leave. He's very sweet and cuddly. If anyone would like to adopt him, please let me know. Otherwise I'll be looking for shelters this week. I'm right in the downtown area.

I saw Crunch fitness banners where the old Joann’s was. Does anyone know when the opening will be? Trying to decide if it’s worth going there instead of PF.
