The Macomb County city of Center Line prides itself on offering a small-town lifestyle in the suburbs. Located in the northern Detroit suburbs along the Interstate 696 corridor where community pride is strong, Center Line is home to 8,490 residents.
The architectural style of homes boasts a rich heritage with a mix of classic and contemporary styles, with the majority being Craftsman bungalows – brick and vinyl. Brick ranch-style and the elegance of the Tudor-style designs also pepper the area. The community also features a mix of co-op condominium homes and single-family cottages, says Brandy Ullom, a Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Kee Realty, Birmingham. “People here are very loyal,” Ullom says. “People either have lived here or know someone who lives here.” In terms of pricing, Center Line provides an attractive range of affordability for potential homeowners. With a median home price that is lower than the national average, individuals and families can find their dream homes without breaking the bank. From cozy starter homes to slightly larger family residences with modern amenities, prices range from $55,000 to $150,000. “It’s really a great place for those looking for starter homes,” Ullom says.
May V. Peck Elementary School, Wolfe Middle School and Center Line High School all earned C-grades from Niche. May V. Peck Elementary which heavily involves the community in year-round activities like the annual end-of-summer Community Picnic held at the high school. Wolfe Middle School is known for its project-based learning. Center Line High School is particularly well-regarded for its unique academy model that helps students explore post-secondary options during their high school years.
The city’s Rotary Park features a colorful, eye-catching playground. Lions Community Park provides a baseball/ softball diamond and large open fields where kids can run and play catch. Lions Park is also home to an ice rink in the winter.
Along Van Dyke Avenue, residents have a variety of dining options from pizza at Stosh's, paninis and salads at Haney's Family Restaurant or East Asian cuisine at China Villa. Shoppers can get everyday items at Kroger, which is a five-mile drive away and get more specialty items at nearby Cattleman's and Dollar Castle.
Friends meet up at the annual Center Line Independence Festival in June to celebrate Center Line’s independence from neighboring Warren over 80 years ago. The Center Line Festival Foundation also sponsors the classic car showcase Crusin’ 53, Beer Fest, kid-friendly Halloween Town and an annual adult coed Softball Tournament, all at Memorial Park. Center Line’s Department of Parks and Recreation also host events like the all-ages movie nights at Memorial Park.
Center Line residents treasure their hometown community, which also is nestled within a large metro area. The small size and easy-to-navigate grid layout make it easy to get around town, whether while heading to work at a small business along Van Dyke or to a relative’s house near Eleven Mile Road. Along the north border of town, commuters enjoy quick access to I-696, an East-West auxiliary interstate highway. The city of Detroit is located 17 miles from Center Line.
