Tree-lined streets, local parks and brick bungalows are part of the appeal of Highland-Fort Dearborn Manor, a suburban neighborhood in the heart of Dearborn. During the spring and summer months, the neighborhood comes alive with bright, blooming vegetation, while fall brings a collage of red, yellow and orange hues. Residents are just west of the rolling fairways at Dearborn Country Club, and only a short drive from popular shops and eateries on nearby Michigan Avenue. The neighborhood is also walking distance from Dearborn High School, one of the highest rated schools in the area. “A lot of people looking for a home in this area are very excited that it’s zoned for Dearborn High,” says Realtor Teodora Djourova of Clients First Realtors, who has worked in real estate in the city for more than a decade.

Brick bungalows and Colonial Revival styles

The neighborhood offers rows of cozy, brick bungalows and Colonial Revival designs, largely built in the 1940s and 50s. These homes are typically on the smaller side, offering between 1,500 and 2,500 square feet of space. Today’s owners have lovingly maintained these homes, making thoughtful upgrades while keeping the home’s original charm. Manicured front yards, sidewalks and mature trees line the streets, making it a great place to enjoy an afternoon stroll. Home prices typically range from around $250,000 for smaller homes, while larger Colonial Revival styles can sell for upwards of $350,000.
