Detroit has given way to plenty of amazing suburbs over the years. Each town near the Motor City is home to its own traditions, attractions, and friendly Michigan faces. But there’s one small town just outside Detroit that’s seen a resurgence of popularity in recent years — and it’s easy to see why.
The beautiful town of Ferndale houses just over 20,000 Metro Detroit residents.
The town's history begins nearly a century ago — it was first incorporated as a village in 1918. During Detroit’s golden industrial years, it housed many of the city’s workers.
Today, it’s known for its close-knit, welcoming community and plenty of unique attractions that make it a wonderful place to raise a family or drop by for a quick visit.
When you make a stop in Ferndale, be sure to check out the Rust Belt Market. This large indoor flea market is full of arts, crafts, and all kinds of knick-knacks that will completely charm you.
Are you an improv fan? You’re in luck! Ferndale houses its very own haven for funny people of all ages: the Go Comedy! Improv Theater. You can’t leave town without settling in for a hilarious show.
