Our Take
Troy offers solid schools and a quiet suburban feel close to Detroit, but it’s car‑dependent, has a high flood risk, and the cost of buying a home is high relative to income. If you value a safe neighborhood and good schools and don’t mind the commute and flood concerns, it’s worth a look, but weigh those risks carefully before moving.
