Fiskhorn’s accessibly priced homes, convenient location and growth potential have made it a popular choice for first-time home buyers and investors. While it hasn’t seen the same revitalization efforts as much of the surrounding Detroit neighborhoods have, mainly because the community didn’t suffer the same severity of blight, the area has seen a steady growth in home values in the past few years. Year over year, home values have increased at a rate of 5.2%. “It’s definitely an up-and-coming area,” says Sean Konja, an associate broker with the KW Professionals. “As revitalization in Detroit continues, there’s a lot of hope for here as well. It’s a good time to get in and plant your roots here.”
Fiskhorn is an accessibly and priced and welcoming west side neighborhood.
