West Douglas Homes for Sale

West Douglas in Kalamazoo stands out as a historic, tree-lined neighborhood just north of Kalamazoo College, where architectural variety and local character run deep. Many homes date back to the 1870s and reflect styles such as bungalow, Craftsman and even classic farmhouses, with property prices ranging from $90,000 to $310,000. The area’s crown jewel is Henderson Castle, a striking 25-room Queen Anne mansion from 1895 that now features a wine cave and chop house for visitors and locals alike. Restaurants like Saffron Indian Cuisine and Zooroona Mediterranean, along with Tiffany’s Wine and Spirits, serve the diverse dining and shopping needs of residents. While the closest grocery stores are outside the neighborhood, downtown Kalamazoo is easily reachable by bike or car for shops like Bell’s Brewery and more. Community events such as Oberon Day, proximity to cultural happenings like the Gilmore Piano Festival, and the USTA Boys Junior National Championships hosted at Kalamazoo College contribute to the area’s lively social calendar. Outdoor lovers find 12 acres of off-leash fun at Fairmount Dog Park or family time at Adda Dilts Peace Park. The area’s hilly terrain makes for fun summer rides, though winter brings extra challenge for drivers. Public transit is accessible via Kalamazoo Metro buses, and schools like the highly rated St. Augustine Cathedral School in nearby Stuart serve local families.
