Farmington is a charming, walkable Detroit suburb with a historic downtown of cafés, craft restaurants, weekly farmers markets, parks and community events—comfortable, safe and lively enough to enjoy a multi‑week assignment without feeling stuck.
A short drive puts you in Detroit for major museums, pro sports, concerts and an international airport, and nearby Ann Arbor offers a vibrant university scene, excellent dining and cultural events, so there’s plenty to explore on days off.
