With a history rich in agriculture and a new wave of high tech and residential growth, Wixom is the perfect blend of country living and urban fringe. Our community is conveniently located between Novi and Milford, easily accessible from I-96, and surrounded by parks, recreation, and even a wildlife preserve nestled in among the headwaters of the Huron River Watershed. Wixom shares a school district with Walled Lake and Novi, home to some of the best public and private schools in Oakland County. With a population of just over 15,000, Wixom is a beacon of community-centric culture.

Downtown
As Wixom has grown, the city-center district has evolved along with it. Downtown Wixom boasts a wide variety of local restaurants, small businesses, a library, and an award-winning brewery. Wixom residents enjoy regular events such as concerts in Sibley Square, food truck rallies, block parties, fireworks, special events, and even ice skating on the frozen fountain outside City Hall.

Additionally, our newly renovated Community Center sits in the heart of downtown and is available for public events and private engagements of 10–220 guests. It features the latest technology, including an over-sized flat display screen and LED Smart TVs.

Parks & Recreation
Wixom is home to a variety of city parks, nature preserves, and walking trails. In fact, we are playing a significant role in the Michigan Air Line Trail — a key segment of the Great-Lake-to-Lake Trail stretching across the state from South Haven to Port Huron.

The Wixom Habitat, a nearly 300-acre nature preserve directly outside of downtown, is home to a variety of flora, fauna, and naturally occurring wildlife. Go for a stroll down the 800-foot boardwalk, branch out onto over 2,500 feet of walking paths, or simply take in the scenic views at East Gallagher Lake. You will not be disappointed.

Business
Wixom is a great place to live and an enjoyable place to play, but it doesn’t stop there. Wixom is also an ever-evolving business community. We have been recognized by Oakland County as being One Stop Ready. This means that our staff can streamline the planning and permitting process for businesses by meeting deadlines and encouraging continued growth. We are home to over 900 businesses including companies such as Uber, Trijicon, and Discraft.
