Hi Gina,
I know I am late to respond, but still wanted to tell you about our neighborhood in Troy. We live in the Emerald Lakes Village Subdivision. It is East of Rochester Road and North of Square Lake Road. There are 6 lakes in our sub, tons of kids and EXCELLENT schools. The subdivision has 3 beach lots for residents if you are not on the water. They have several activities throughtout the year for children as well as adults, (family fun day, halloween parade, easter egg hunt, mini-triathalon, christmas party. fishing contests etc.) You always see people walking, running biking and children playing outside. It feels like a small town in the middle of a big city. I know several people that lived here as children and moved back as adults with their families. It is close to downtown Rochester, M59 to the Lakeside area and Somerset Mall. It is worth checking out.
Good Luck,
Susan
