Southfield: An Office City at the Metro Detroit Crossroads
Southfield sits at the junction of the Lodge Freeway and I-696, a location that made it one of the first major suburban office centers in metro Detroit. The Southfield Town Center, a cluster of five golden-glass towers visible from miles away, was built in the 1970s as the anchor of a suburban downtown concept. The complex has struggled with vacancy in recent years.
The city experienced a dramatic racial transition beginning in the 1990s. African-American families from Detroit and inner-ring suburbs moved to Southfield in large numbers, and the city shifted from predominantly white to predominantly Black within two decades. The median household income remained middle-class throughout, distinguishing Southfield from stereotypes about suburban racial change.
The Southfield Public Library, a modernist building on Evergreen Road, won architectural recognition when it opened. Lawrence Technological University, a small private engineering and architecture school, sits on the border between Southfield and the City of Bloomfield Hills.
The city's commercial corridors along Telegraph Road, Greenfield Road, and Northwestern Highway contain a mix of office buildings, retail strips, and restaurants. Beech Woods Recreation Center and Civic Center Park provide athletic facilities and gathering space.
