Harmony Village
An architectural window to the past
Residents get to experience what it’s like to step back in time when walking through Harmony Village’s beautiful residential neighborhoods. Most homes were built in the 1920s and 1930s and exhibit architecturally distinct exteriors that feel well-preserved for their century-long origins. Solid brick bungalows, Tudors and colonial homes, often with intricate A-line roof structures, are densely populated along one quiet street to the next. Front paved sidewalks with clusters of trees make up the rest of the neighborhood’s housing landscape. Homes needing some TLC can start in the $50,000s while other properly maintained houses with modern interior updates are around $170,000.Access along John C. Lodge Freeway
Because of its small size, Harmony Village is a decently walkable area for getting around to neighborhood establishments. This area sits directly next to the John C. Lodge Freeway, which connects to bigger nearby suburbs such as Southfield and Highland Park and gives locals quick access to downtown Detroit.Parks
While no direct parks are within Harmony Village’s small radius, there are still numerous options in adjacent districts. Diack Park, located just one mile away off Thatcher Avenue, is a more intimate neighborhood park for a quick morning or afternoon outdoor escape. It features a safe, clean and well-kept-up green space where residents can shoot some hoops on the basketball court, walk around the site’s designated paths or adventure out on the playscapes. Also nearby is the Adam Butzel Complex on Lyndon Street. This sporty spot is an expansive indoor recreational center with swimming pools, a football field, basketball courts, and a popular mural-splashed ice rink to enjoy any time of the year.Neighboring parks and athletic centers
Keeping up with Harmony Village’s throwback to the past, George Coney Island, with its retro counter booths and black-and-white checkered tiling, serves locals coney island dogs and Greek-style gyros in a classic diner on West Six Mile Road. Less than two miles away, a little southwestern U.S. flavor makes its way to this northwest Detroit region at Lee’s Texas Style BBQ. This hotspot dishes out full beef slabs, turkey legs and a hefty helping of comfort sides like baked beans, corn and fried pickles. The Greenfield Market, also just a few miles away, is a mom-and-pop grocery store that features a fresh selection of meats and produce. As Harmony Village sits directly in the center between W. McNichols Road and Fenkall Avenue, there are even more dining and shopping opportunities along these two bustling roads.A community center zoned for district meetups
The Northwest Communities Center, connecting the northwest Detroit districts, hosts many social gatherings throughout the year. Children get to dress up in costumes and collect treats with neighborhood friends at the center’s “Halloween Night” event each fall, while residents come together for an annual “Mother’s Day Brunch and Fashion Show” in May to help raise money for various local causes.Traditional and specialty public school options
There are many public school options for residents in Harmony Village, as it is zoned to many nearby school districts. Kindergarten through Grade 8 students interested in the arts can audition to attend the public John R. K Academic and Performing Arts Academy, which gets a C-minus rating from Niche.com. The Foreign Language Immersion and Cultural Studies for K-8 gets a C+ rating and offers one of Michigan's only public immersion programs. For upper-level students, the public magnet school, Renaissance High School, rates at a B. With their strong college prep program, 100 percent of graduates here are accepted to college and the majority receive scholarships.
