The moving to St. Clair Shores guide.
A free, honest walkthrough of everything this site covers, in one place: the water tiers, the park passes, the flood zones, the routes, and the questions to ask every home. Enter your email and it is on its way. No spam, no list-selling, just the guide.
What is inside
Everything I wish someone had handed me before my first move.
I bought my first house at 20 with nobody educating me, and I made every wrong decision a person can make. This guide is the version of that conversation nobody had with me, written warm and clear.
- The three water tiers, explained in plain words
- Park access and the resident pass, without the fine print
- Flood zone lookups you can do in ten minutes
- The morning test: coffee, routes, and your real daily loop
- The canal home checklist before you fall in love
- Commute timing that matches your actual schedule
- The first five things to do when you move in
Get the guide
Free, and yours to keep.
Tell me where to send it. I answer personally, so you may also get a note asking what you are looking for, and you can ignore that part entirely if you just want the guide.
Verify everything yourself
The official sources behind every answer on this site.
I check my answers against these, and you should too, especially for anything that affects a purchase. Every link opens in a new tab.

Want the guide plus a human?
The guide is the map. A call with me is the guide actually walking the trail with you. Both are free, and both are zero pressure.
