A convenient location and homes being renovated
Just northeast of Downtown Detroit, the Gratiot-Grand neighborhood is being revitalized and becoming popular with homebuyers. “It’s an emerging neighborhood. There are a lot of quality houses that are starting to come on the market,” says Adam Soroka, a Realtor with @Properties Detroit who works in the area. “It’s an extension from the Islandview, West Village and Pingree Park area. It’s kind of a new area targeted by people who want to be near those neighborhoods.” The neighborhood’s proximity to popular city areas and Detroit’s major roads make Gratiot-Grand ripe for possible growth in upcoming years.
Gratiot-Grand is located just minutes from downtown Detroit.

Older homes seeing improvements
Most homes in Gratiot-Grand are brick Colonial Revival homes or bungalows, but American Foursquares are also common. Homes come in various conditions, some needing extensive repairs while others have new flooring, bathrooms and kitchens. The neighborhood’s streets are lined with houses that sit close to one another, but vacant lots sporadically dot the landscape. Soroka says purchasing a home in Gratiot-Grand will give homeowners a better deal than nearby neighborhoods. “The price point is usually going to be lower than $300,000, and you can get a similar style house as the nearby neighborhoods,” he says. The high end of the market in Gratiot-Grand features four-bedroom homes for $230,000 to $260,000, though homes often sell for less than $100,000.
Home buyers will find numerous opportunities to renovate throughout Gratiot-Grand.
