Small housing inventory keeps listings relatively rare

Midcentury ranch-style homes make up most of the neighborhood’s housing stock, but Realtor Tami Jo Schuetzler of Re/Max says there’s more development on the way. “There are some newer homes and condos there, and you’ve got some homes under construction as well. There’s some room for growth there,” she says. Some properties have been fully renovated with new roofs and updated electrical and plumbing systems, while others are sold as-is. Because Gardenview Estates is such a small neighborhood, listings don't hit the market very often. The average property value is in the $80,000s, which is similar to Franklin Park. The neighborhood tends to be a bit more expensive than the Joy Community but less than the Warren Avenue Community.

Career-focused programs are available through high school

Gardenview Estates is part of the Detroit Public Schools Community District. Students in pre-kindergarten through eighth-grade may start at Henderson Academy, which offers programs on engineering concepts and music technology. Students can then continue on to Cody High School, which offers career-focused certification programs in fields like health science and public safety.
