RealKidz Inc. headquarters are located in the historic Depot Town area of Ypsilanti, Michigan, 10 miles east of Ann Arbor. We believe in having a positive impact on the communities in which we do business, and we are proud to have chosen Ypsilanti and the Depot Town area as our home. The ecclectic, diverse nature of the city fits well with the highly creative culture of our company. We happily chose to forego a bland office park for the collection of restaurants, museums, unique shops and city parks that surround us here in Depot Town. We take part in neighborhood street fairs, participate in the local Chamber of Commerce, and our CEO even serves as the Vice President for the Depot Town Association, a group of area business leaders who work collaboratively to keep Depot Town a safe, attractive and fun place to work and play.

The Ann Arbor Area

Ann Arbor, just 10 miles to our west, is continually voted one of America's Best Places to Live, and is one of the most vibrant and cosmopolitan small cities in all of the United States. It is quintessential college-town cool, with endless parks, unique eateries, and countless nightspots that run the gamut from wine bars to jazz clubs to live music venues featuring local and national artists, microbreweries and dance clubs.

Ann Arbor is home to the University of Michigan, Google AdWords, Automobile Magazine, ProQuest, Domino's Pizza, Borders, and a vast number of high-tech and life sciences start-up companies.

Beyond Ann Arbor

Michigan is a state whose natural beauty we would put up against any other state in the country, and between our employees, we've lived in several. From large cities with all they have to offer, to sandy beaches where the sun sets gently over the waters of Lake Michigan, to expansive northern wilderness, island retreats and vast farm fields, Michigan truly has it all. Combined with a low cost of living, the friendly nature of Midwest life, and a talented and highly-skilled workforce, we're excited to put our company's home base in Michigan.

We are located less than an hour from Detroit sports and cultural attractions, 2 hours from the beaches of Lake Michigan, 4 hours from the Grand Traverse Bay wine country, and just a little further than that from the Mackinac Bridge, which connects those of us on Michigan's Lower Peninsula with all of the outdoor adventure activities offered by its Upper Peninsula. The "U.P." is a paradise for those whose active lifestyles include hiking, skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking and kayaaking. Grand Rapids, Lansing and Kalamazoo are all vibrant cities full of cultural and entertainment attractions, and make great day or weekend trips from the Ann Arbor area.

And when its time for a weekend get-away out of state, Chicago and Toronto are two great destinations within an easy 4 to 5-hour drive from Ann Arbor. Whatever your taste, living in Michigan offers something for everyone.
