Farmington Hills is a dynamic community
that consistently receives high approval
ratings from its residents and businesses.

Our great schools make it a good place to
raise your family, and our central location
and quick access to highways make the City
of Farmington Hills a convenient place to live
and work.
The City has more than 6,000 businesses,
from large international corporations to
mid-sized entrepreneurial startups to cozy
new restaurants. Our AAA bond rating,
multifaceted resources and supportive City
staff have prompted many corporations to
build their North American headquarters
here. Farmington Hills is an internationally
known center of research and development
for the automotive, electronics and software
business sectors.
Our biggest employer, Beaumont Hospital-
Farmington Hills (formerly Botsford
Hospital), has shown its commitment to
the City by undertaking a $160 million
expansion project that will create new space
and renovate existing space to enhance the
hospital’s ability to provide coordinated,
personal and compassionate care. The plan
includes an expansion of the Emergency and
Trauma Center, construction of a new critical
care unit and the addition of a five-story,
80-bed tower.
Farmington Hills is known as a welcoming
community — we embraced tolerance
and inclusion long ago and our diverse
population reflects that. Housing options

and friendly, welcoming neighborhoods. Our
City currently has 118 Neighborhood Watch

another and stay up on what’s happening in

Farmington Hills consistently ranks as one of
the safest cities in Michigan and the nation.
Our award-winning police officers and fire
fighters are rated among the finest in the
country due to exceptionally high standards
of training that reinforce solid core skills.
