Why Detroit

Detroit is a city in the middle of a genuine renaissance — a place where affordable urban living, serious cultural depth, and a tight-knit professional community combine in ways that larger coastal cities simply can't match.

The metro area offers outstanding neighborhoods, top-rated suburban school districts, and a cost of living that makes homeownership attainable on a physician's salary.
