Troy
Troy is Oakland County in its corporate-park uniform: Somerset Collection on one end, the headquarters of half the auto suppliers on the other, and a quietly cosmopolitan population of engineers, finance professionals, and a large Chaldean and South Asian community in between. Dating here skews intentional. First meetings happen over matcha at a Somerset cafe, dinner at Ocean Prime, or a deliberate drive to Royal Oak when someone wants to loosen the collar. Expectations are legible, salaries are real, and ghosting is considered rude rather than aesthetic. Bring a plan, not a vibe.
