Bloomfield Hills

Bloomfield Hills is a residential city in Oakland County, Michigan, and stretches across wooded hills northwest of Detroit. The streets wind through neighborhoods with generous lots, manicured lawns, and avenues of mature trees that run through the town center.

The settlement began in 1819 as Bagley's Corners and developed from agricultural land into a residential area for wealthy families. The town received city status in 1932, becoming an independent municipality within the greater Detroit area.

The Cranbrook Educational Community forms one of Michigan's largest educational centers and includes an art museum, a science complex with publicly accessible gardens. Visitors can walk through the grounds and observe the architecture of the various buildings that define the campus.

The city offers several public services through its digital platform, including tax payments, building permits, and waste management programs. Visitors find signposted routes to main facilities in the town center and parking near public buildings.

Several large corporations maintain their headquarters in town and use the quiet surroundings for their administrative centers. The temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints rises on a hill and is visible from afar through its white architecture.
