Bloomfield is a top choice for suburban living close to Detroit
Over 15,000 years ago, gigantic glaciers dominated the lands, creating the boulder-strewn terrain anointed with gently rolling hills and shimmering lakes we know as Bloomfield today. The township, established in 1827, is a primarily residential suburb of Oakland County about 20 miles Northwest of Detroit. “The location is phenomenal with access to parks, shopping, larger lots, and taxes are lower than all the surrounding communities,” says Melanie Bishop and Noah Bishop, a mother-son Realtor duo with Max Brock Realtors with 52 years of combined experience. From the highly rated schools, grand homes and access to shopping and nature, it’s no wonder even “The Queen of Soul,” Aretha Franklin, once had a mansion here and made a home in Bloomfield.

Residences were designed with pure opulence, offering privacy and perched on forested knolls with vibrant gardens and stone driveways. Driving along the township’s winding roads, you’ll find the landscape is adorned with grand French-Eclectic, Colonial, Monterey and Greek Revival architectural styles. Split-levels, brick ranch homes and town homes may start at $220,000, while grand estates can reach over 2 million. “It’s a fast market. The neighborhood is transitioning; older homes are being torn down, and new homes are being built,” Bishop says.

The Johnson Nature Center is a scenic escape with nature trails and babbling creeks. And when the kids need to burn off some steam, several pocket parks are found in neighborhoods.
