"Dearborn Hills is beautiful, warm and inviting." The small neighborhood is bisected by Dearborn Hills Golf Course, the oldest public course in the state. Michigan Avenue also runs through the middle of the community and is lined with locally owned shops and restaurants, offering residents easy access to a meal out or an afternoon of shopping.
