About Madison Heights

Madison Heights is an inner-ring Oakland County suburb just north of Detroit, incorporated from Royal Oak Township in the 1950s. It is part of the region's Automation Alley economy and is served by both Madison District Public Schools and Lamphere Public Schools. The city also has a distinctive local food note, with sliders often mentioned in connection with its casual dining culture. Practical, dense, and well-connected, Madison Heights feels like classic postwar metro Detroit.
