A vibrant downtown, historic neighborhoods, and thriving business community make Wyandotte truly the heart of Southeastern Michigan’s Downriver. Located just 10 miles south of Detroit, Wyandotte offers easy access to the city’s economic and cultural resources in a safe, family-oriented environment.
Wyandotte’s waterfront is the perfect setting for an idyllic downtown community. A wide variety of restaurants cater to every taste and budget. Stores filled with shoppers line Biddle Avenue. In the Summer, Wyandotte is home to numerous festivals and celebrations. The annual Independence Day parade is a long-standing tradition. The crown jewel of a Wyandotte summer, though, is the annual Wyandotte Street Art Fair. Since 1961, this four-day event has attracted artists, art-lovers, and anyone who loves a great festival to the streets of downtown Wyandotte. It has grown into the second largest art fair held in Michigan.
Wyandotte’s neighborhoods have long been the backbone of the community. While it has strong ties to the Downriver community and the city of Detroit, Wyandotte maintains a fierce independence which makes it a unique and attractive place to live. Municipally owned power, water, and telecommunications services allow Wyandotte to independently and efficiently support both businesses and its nearly 28,000 residents while keeping cost of living and business expenses low.
The skilled population and supportive local government provide just some of the reasons that a wide range of businesses, both large and small, choose to make Wyandotte home.
