Listings of up to $2 million for single-family homes in Detroit can be rare, but in the Conner Creek neighborhood, gated waterfront properties are sometimes fetching upwards of that amount. The Conner Creek neighborhood is in the northeastern part of the city near major highways for easy accessibility for residents and visitors alike. The area is a mix of families, professionals and retirees.
Conner Creek was originally developed as a residential area for workers in the nearby auto industry. Over the years, it has evolved into a mix of residential, commercial and industrial spaces. Homes in Conner Creek range from condos to larger brick New Traditional houses. The neighborhood's median sale price is $516,000. “You’re getting property here that overlooks Belle Isle and the Detroit River and that provides a beautiful view of the skyline,” says Laura Davis, associate broker for GAP Realty Group of Southgate. “There’s not a lot of waterfront properties in Detroit, so that makes this area very unique.”
The area is served by the Detroit Public Schools Community District, which gets a C-plus grade from Niche. Students can begin at the C-minus-rated Hutchinson Elementary-Middle School before advancing to Southeastern High, which also earns a C-minus. The district also offers various school choice options, including magnet programs and selective-exam schools, with applications required.
Conner Creek offers various parks and recreational spaces. Residents can take advantage of parks like Conner Creek Greenway Park, which offers walking trails, picnic areas and playgrounds. Just west of the neighborhood, Riverside Marina has deep-water docks and offers boat rentals. Downtown Detroit is several miles west, with the home stadiums and arenas for the city's professional sports teams, including Comerica Park, where baseball's Detroit Tigers play; Ford Field, home to the NFL's Lions; and Little Caesars Arena, which houses the NHL's Red Wings and the NBA's Pistons.
When it comes to dining options, Conner Creek boasts a variety of restaurants and eateries nearby. From cozy cafes to ethnic cuisines, residents have a range of choices to satisfy their culinary cravings. Some popular restaurants in the area include Joe Muer Seafood in the Renaissance Center, and Pegasus Taverna in Greektown for authentic Greek food. For a little more upscale dining, Davis recommends the nearby Grey Ghost restaurant for their short rib dumplings, lamb cordon bleu or bavette steak.
For groceries, there are several smaller, independently owned markets like Parkway Foods and Harbortown, as well as larger ones like Whole Food and Meijer nearby. For clothing, Davis says the Woodward Avenue corridor now has a number of nationally recognized stores as well as some local retail shops. “The area is transforming, downtown especially,” says Davis. “It’s becoming chic and trendy.”
