Southfield has the best of both worlds: diverse cultural and educational attractions plus natural beauty and open space.

Southfield has nearly 750 acres of parkland, as well as more than 30 miles of cycling, hiking and nature trails.

Its public school district is nationally recognized for high quality. Eight colleges including Lawrence Technological University, and Oakland Community College are located in Southfield. The city’s Civic Center complex includes the Evergreen Hills Golf Course and state-of-the-art Southfield Public Library.

Southfield hosts many of its arts and cultural programs at the Millennium Centre, located in the city's Cornerstone District. Park West Gallery curates some of the finest exhibitions of art in Michigan, including by renowned artists, like Erte, Picasso, Miro, Dali and Rembrandt.

As Southfield boasts, it is “the center of it all.” A suburb of Detroit and part of the Metro Detroit area, Southfield is a commercial center for the metropolitan Detroit area: its 26,000,000 square feet of office space are home to more than eighty Fortune 500 companies.
