Life in Ann Arbor is better then most places around DTW. It's a great town. Other places to the east...not so much. Are you going to commute or just plan on moving in?

MEM; it's cheap to live there. The flying is really laid back. 3 banks and 1 1/2 to 2 hrs in between. DTW has 7-8 banks with 20 min turns!

You could try both in the coming months to see which one you would like best. Good luck!!
