COMMUNITY --- WHERE WE LIVE<br />
CITY OF WIXOM...STANDS APART<br />
CLOSE TO EVERYTHING, FAR FROM ORDINARY<br />
Conveniently located along the I-96 corridor<br />
in the southwest corner of Oakland County,<br />
Wixom is known as an extremely well-planned<br />
community and maintains the best of country<br />
living within the urban fringe. We are able to<br />
boast about our beautiful neighborhoods and<br />
business parks, safety paths, parks, public<br />
services and quality schools. Many of our<br />
13,500 residents (2010 Census) actually live<br />
and work in Wixom.<br />
WHO KNEW?<br />
Our lineup of community events attracts<br />
thousands of visitors to the city: Summer<br />
concert series in our downtown on<br />
Thursdays, Lite the Night Fireworks, Hot<br />
Blues & BBQ, Fall Festival & Panther Hunt<br />
and “Holiday Markt,” to name a few.<br />
HEALTHY BUSINESS COMMUNITY<br />
A perfect blend of mixed-use from large<br />
corporations to startups, Wixom is home<br />
to many notable companies: Academy of<br />
Russian Classical Ballet, Adept Plastic,<br />
General RV, KidPreneur, Rainbow Loom,<br />

Public TV. Recognized as a One Stop Ready<br />
community by Oakland County, we are able<br />
to streamline planning and permitting in<br />

ATTENTION ALL ENTREPRENEURS<br />
Within the last 10 years, we’ve begun<br />
the rebirth of a new downtown area and<br />
have opportunities for entrepreneurs to<br />
realize their dreams. Seven out of the<br />
last eight years, the City of Wixom has<br />
been recognized for its work to foster<br />
entrepreneurial growth and economic<br />
development. In the annual University of<br />
Michigan-Dearborn iLabs’ eCities study,<br />
Wixom was selected and honored as a fivestar<br />
community. Most recently, NerdWallet<br />
named Wixom as the 8th Best Place to<br />
Start a Business in Michigan.<br />
