Rooted in a Rich History, Surrounded by Culture
Madison Heights may be just minutes from the hustle and bustle of Metro Detroit, but it has its own unique story and small-town charm. Originally part of Royal Oak Township, Madison Heights became its own city in 1955 and now serves as a vibrant community of nearly 30,000 residents.
The city has deep roots stretching back to the Anishinaabe peoples who once lived along the Red Run River. Now, it has grown into a modern hub nestled along the I-75 and I-696 corridors. Today, it’s home to shops, parks, restaurants, and more. Residents also benefit from access to nearby colleges, cultural institutions, and green spaces like Sylvan Glen and Quarton Lake Parks.
Living at Independence Village means having access to it all while enjoying the peacefulness of a residential neighborhood and the camaraderie of a tight-knit senior community.
Daily Life That Sparks Joy
At Independence Village of Madison Heights, our lifestyle is anything but ordinary. From musical performances to hands-on art classes, we offer engaging experiences that help residents thrive physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Here’s a snapshot of what life is like:
- Musical Moments: Residents were recently treated to a nostalgic performance by The Golden Choraliers, filling the community with timeless songs and sweet memories.
- Sunset Concerts: Even when the weather doesn’t cooperate, we bring the fun indoors. Our first-ever Sunset Concert featured live music by Sunny Bleu and the Moons — and it was a hit!
- Art for All Ages: Our watercolor painting sessions with instructor Chris allow residents to express themselves creatively while learning new techniques in a supportive and relaxed setting.
- Crafts and Fun: Residents had a blast creating fascinators for our Kentucky Derby races complete with a few surprise visitors who joined in the fashion fun!
Every program is designed with our residents in mind, promoting socialization, creativity, and—most importantly—joy.
Exploring the Community and Beyond
Madison Heights is full of possibilities, and we make sure our residents enjoy every bit of it. Outings are an important part of life at Independence Village, offering a change of scenery and a chance to experience something new.
One recent group trip took residents to the Music Hall Center for the Performing Arts, where they enjoyed the hilariously entertaining “Menopause 2” show.
We also hosted a special presentation by Mike Hauser, who showcased fascinating memorabilia from Hudson’s, the beloved Detroit department store. The event brought back touching stories and reflections from those who remembered Hudson’s as a pillar of their youth and Detroit’s golden era.
These community experiences help residents stay connected to the world around them and give them more stories to share with their families and neighbors.
