Life in Southfield: What’s Around Regal Towers

Southfield calls itself “The Center of It All,” and for residents at Regal Towers, that is fairly accurate. The city has major business districts, hundreds of acres of parkland, and a food scene that goes well beyond chain restaurants. Here is what the area offers.

Parks and Recreation Year-Round

Southfield has more than 780 acres of parkland. Civic Center Park on Evergreen Road is the biggest draw. It has lighted sports fields, nature trails, a playground, picnic areas with grills, and an outdoor pool. The Southfield Sports Arena on the same grounds has an ice rink, which makes it a good winter option. City parks are open year-round from dawn to dusk with no entrance fees.

Beech Woods Park is another community park, with tennis courts, volleyball, a playground, and picnic facilities.

Free Things to Do

The Southfield Public Library sits on the Civic Center grounds. The city also hosts community events and gatherings throughout the year, many of them around the Civic Center. For residents watching their budgets, a lot of Southfield’s best options cost nothing.

A Strong Food Scene Along Northwestern Highway

Northwestern Highway is known for its Middle Eastern restaurants, from family-run shawarma spots to bakeries making fresh pita. It is one of the better places in metro Detroit to eat well without driving into the city.

Art Without the Trip Downtown

Park West Gallery on Northwestern Highway displays private collections of original works by well-known artists. It is a surprising stop for a suburb, and a good rainy day plan.

A Job Center, Not Just a Bedroom Community

Southfield is one of the region’s major business hubs, with corporate headquarters, office parks, and financial institutions. Lawrence Technological University is also here. For residents who work in the city, a short commute is a real daily advantage.

Easy Access Around Metro Detroit

I-696 and the Lodge Freeway (M-10) run through Southfield, with Telegraph Road and Evergreen Road handling much of the local traffic. Downtown Detroit, Oakland County, and the rest of metro Detroit are all reachable without a complicated route.

A Place That Covers the Basics

Southfield does not try to be flashy. It offers open space, good food, nearby jobs, and straightforward freeway access. For most residents, that adds up to a place that is easy to live in.
