Snow Woods
Into the woods
In Snow Woods, brick ranches sprawl throughout the surrounding wetland oak forest landscape. The woods are a vital component of the neighborhood, retaining floodwater and acting as a natural sound barrier from the traffic of nearby highways. Bungalows with triangular roofs and homes with drive in garages are typical, and sidewalks connect residencies. Most homes in Snow Woods date to the mid-20th century, when Metro Detroit’s automaking industry attracted thousands new residents to Dearborn and created a demand for housing close to these workplaces. Today, the community in Snow Woods loves biking, as locals can take a bicycle ride and discover two-story colonials with spacious yards and picturesque gardens. Homes tend to sell for between $200,000 and $275,000, making Snow Woods one of Dearborn’s more expensive areas.

Home of the Thunderbirds
Students attend schools with B ratings from Niche, including Snow Elementary School, Stout Middle School, and Edsel Ford High School. Henry Ford, the father of America’s automotive industry, donated Edsel Ford High School’s land, and this school offers golf and bowling extracurriculars. Stout Middle School adds to this diversity of after-school activities with a theater club for artistic students.

Fun among the fields
There are a few parks for residents to enjoy in their free time, including Pine/Linden Park, home to a small playground and vast, green fields. At Ten Eyck Park, locals can play a tennis round or take a dip in the community pool in the summer.
/
Meijer and music lounges
Locals have a variety of dining and shopping options accessible within a short drive. Meijer Grocery is less than a mile away and Iverson’s Bakery indulges gourmands’ sweet tooths. Iceberg offers an all-halal menu and specialty burgers, complete with delightful milkshakes. Oakwood Grill & Music Lounge is a cozy spot to hear some live music along with enjoying popular craft beer brands. A wealth of other shopping options can be found at the nearby Independence Marketplace, where amenities from a Lowe’s to a Barnes & Noble and a myriad clothing stores regularly draw hundreds of shoppers from both nearby and afar.
/
Automotive innovation and opportunities
The Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation is less than two miles away and tells learners about the city where Henry Ford was born. Ford continues to be a major employer in Dearborn, as the Ford Motor Company’s Research and Innovation Center, Product Development Center, and several other laboratories are located immediately next to Snow Woods.
Driving into Detroit
Access to major roads puts residents within a 4-mile drive of downtown Dearborn and a 13-mile drive from downtown Detroit, ensuring that commuters have easy access to the employment and entertainment opportunities of both urban centers. While Snow Woods may be nestled among thick foliage, nature is no obstacle to locals feeling connected to the rest of Metro Detroit.
