Grixdale Farms is a revitalizing bedroom community near Palmer Park
Nine miles from downtown Detroit, the Grixdale Farms has provided cozy houses and close proximity to Palmer Park for more than a century. “It's desirable thanks to nice older homes with a lot of character and rising property values,” says T.J. Brisbois, a Realtor with S&P Realty who has 15 years of experience selling homes. "It’s right by the park and is an up-and-coming area that’s more affordable than the other side of Woodward Avenue." Platted as the Grixdale Home Park Subdivision in 1913, the area was once open farmland. The wedge-shaped neighborhood is home to the nation's first full mile of concrete paved road, which is fitting for a town built on the automotive industry. Primarily residential, there are limited businesses, leading locals to have to leave the neighborhood to do most of their shopping. Twenty-five miles from the Detroit Metropolitan Airport, the area is in the beginning stages of revitalization, with the city having made plans to further economic development within the community.

The neighborhood is gaining more homeowners versus renters
Brisbois says Grixdale Farms is changing from a renter-dominated to an owner-occupied area. "Homeowners tend to take great care of the houses, and that’s helping increase home prices over time.” Living in Grixdale Farms offers residents the unique opportunity to invest in homes from the 1920s and ‘30s, many of which occupy double lots. Trees line the roadways beside red brick bungalows and colonials. Houses are set back from the street to allow for small front yards, and while some homes have lovingly kept lawns, others are overgrown. There are uncared-for homes here, some of which are vacant. However, residents stay because of the nearby green spaces, neighborhood farms, and the recent efforts to revitalize the area. Prices range from $150,000 for a three-bedroom traditional brick home to $450,000 for a three-bedroom 1950s craftsman.
