Sterling Heights, MI
Median home price: $137,850
Median family income (per year): $90,322

The city motto of Sterling Heights is "To Strive on Behalf of All," and the community-oriented mantra makes for a family-focused, safe city.

The suburb of Detroit offers a lot for your buck, but with two of the three major U.S. automakers in bankruptcy, the region is up against a challenge on the employment front.

However, Sterling Heights continues to benefit from its proximity to a slew of higher education centers including University of Michigan, University of Detroit Mercy, Eastern Michigan, Oakland University and Michigan State University, among others.--C.C.
