Welcome to the New Horizon!

The City of Rochester Hills is the new horizon for living, working and prospering.  Focused on the future, Rochester Hills is located in Oakland County, one of the wealthiest counties in America, and features a quality of life and commerce that few places can match.  The focus is on people.  With a residential population of 68,825, the City boasts quality housing; a downtown atmosphere that features a hospital, major university and shopping; two award-winning school districts that consistently rank near the top of Michigan schools in performance; and 1000 acres of parkland affording the community with endless recreational opportunities. The workforce is highly skilled and specialized and generally lives and plays in the community.  Located along I-75 and M-59 and near to the World Headquarters of Chrysler, the City is situated in Automation Alley, the State's premier technology cluster, and is home to one of Michigan's eleven SmartZones.  Our business cluster includes a concentration of automotive, computer-based, and companies engaged in future fuel and other research focused on future technologies.
