Situated adjacent to Royal Oak Township between the cities of Oak Park and Hazel Park lies Ferndale, a community of residential neighborhoods that were constructed during the 1950s.
Stable and tranquil, Ferndale consists of tree-shaded streets lined with cozy homes. In many respects, the city itself offers a retreat from the fast pace of metropolitan living.
Most needs can be met close to home in several shopping centers that also include theaters and restaurants. City parks ensure abundant green space and recreational facilities for leisure activities.
Within the neighboring community of Hazel Park is a regional entertainment district anchored by the Hazel Park Harness Raceway. The addition of venues like the Hazel Park Bowl and the Viking Ice Arena has further expanded the opportunities for fun and relaxation. The adjacent city of Royal Oak adds golf courses, a private country club, the Detroit Zoo, and an indoor ice arena. Ferndale students receive a quality education in local schools, while opportunities for higher education are as close as Royal Oak, the site of the Oakland Vocational Center and a campus for Oakland Community College.
The City of Ferndale, gateway to Oakland County, is located at the intersection of I-696 and I-75. Ferndale is at the crossroads of interstate transportation in Southeast Michigan.
