Hidden gem homes in Grant

Grant's residential areas feature a large number of ranches, bungalows and Colonial-style homes. Many of these homes are designed with sloping roofs, large porches, small lawn spaces and narrow sidewalks. With most houses constructed between the 1920s and '50s, many of the homes are in need of renovations. Home prices begin around $19,000 and can go up to $150,000, depending on how much work the home may need.

Traveling down Van Dyke

Van Dyke Avenue serves as the major roadway in the area, and Grant is located about 10 miles from downtown Detroit.

Wine and spirits

Grant includes restaurants that not only serve delicious food but each carry their own bit of local history. "Marcus Hamburgers is pretty much a local landmark around there. It's been around for a really long time," says Mario Como, a Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway Homeservices Kee Realty SCS who grew up in this area. In fact, the famed burger joint, with its original Marcus Burger, has been satisfying appetites since 1929. Motown Cafe & Grill, named after Detroit's iconic music genre, serves up sandwiches, burgers, seafood dinners and more. Towne Club is Detroit’s original pop -- as in soda, for the non-Midwesterners -- shop, offering an assortment of quirky flavors, such as Michigan Cherry, Honolulu Blue Cream and Tiger Citrus Punch. Venture inside Detroit's oldest bar, the Two Way Inn. Founded in 1876, this bar comes with some interesting local history. While sipping cocktails, patrons might see the ghost of Col. Philetus Norris, a Civil War veteran who built the bar, or perhaps the "Lady in White," a specter who is believed to be his daughter. No need to be alarmed-- the bar is considered by its patrons to be spirited in a warm sense rather than a scary one. Residents can find quality items while shopping Joe Randazzo’s Fruit & Vegetable Market, which has been providing produce to the region for decades.
