Royal Oak is one of the most active urban-suburban cities in Metro Detroit, known for its thriving downtown and varied dining scene. The city has experienced significant revitalization over the past two decades and is a destination for buyers who want a dense urban core with proximity to neighborhood streets.
Downtown Royal Oak is the heart of the city, featuring over 200 restaurants, bars, galleries, and shops along Main Street and Washington Avenue. The Royal Oak Farmers Market operates year-round and has served the community since 1925. Nightlife options range from craft cocktail lounges to live music venues.
The Detroit Zoo, located on the northern border of Royal Oak, is one of the top zoos in the country and a source of community pride. The city also offers Normandy Oaks Park, Starr Jaycee Park, and the Royal Oak Nature Society for outdoor recreation.
Housing in Royal Oak features bungalows, Tudor-style homes, and updated colonials from the 1920s through 1960s. Many homes have been extensively renovated, and the city's tree-lined streets keep it one of the most-requested addresses in Oakland County. Homes sell quickly here, with average days on market consistently among the lowest in the region.
Royal Oak is served by Royal Oak Schools.
