Cost-effective homes support first-time buyers and families
Finding your new home can be easy in Bethune Community with its creditable housing market. “It’s an affordable neighborhood that’s great for first-time homebuyers or someone with a growing family,” says Clayton Neal, a real estate agent with KW Metro who has specialized in the Greater Detroit market for almost 10 years. “The inventory of housing here is a nice variety.” You can find brick Tudor-inspired homes with steep gabled roofs for anywhere between $60,000 to $90,000. These properties were built in the 1920s, have small stone porches and range from 1,000 to 1,400 square feet. Ranch-style homes, bungalows and four-square homes line the streets at a lower cost of around $40,000 to $60,000. As the gateway between city life and suburban growth, Bethune Community is a cost-effective residential area with a lot of potential. Neal says, “It’s right at the center of a blossoming community. There are some good things happening here.”

Recreation center offers swimming, skating and community events
At the end of the school and workday, you can take a load off at Adams Butzel Complex – the neighborhood’s beloved recreation center. “The center has been here for many years, and it helps gel the community together,” Neal says. “It really helps to have a center when you want to keep a neighborhood tight and engaged.” Shoot hoops on the basketball court with your friends, go for a swim in the pool or learn how to skate on the ice rink. The complex offers various programs and activities for its members to participate in together. If you have little ones that need to run around, Sawyer Playground is a fenced-in play area that also has a gravel walking path and open green space where you can toss a frisbee.
