Holcomb Community
Neighborhood in Detroit, Michigan
Wayne County 48219
A calm and quiet community in northwest Detroit, Holcomb Community is experiencing a resurgence. Revamped homes are like new again, breathing new life into the streets of the small neighborhood, and its convenient location near shops and expressways means the opportunity is there to walk or drive for a retail therapy session.
“People enjoy living in this area because it’s so walkable. The convenience of living somewhere that has shopping, dining and anything else that’s needed just steps away is a huge draw,” says Harrison Duke, a Detroit native who sits on several community advisory boards. “Out in the suburbs, driving is a must because everything is so spread out, but older neighborhoods in the city have the lure of small retail areas for dining, shopping and errand running.”
Trees line the streets of Holcomb Community, making for a colorful display as the leaves change with the seasons. Homes sit on long lots that offer large lawns and deep backyards. Grand River Avenue is just a stone’s throw away and is a go-to location for local shopping. A mix of home styles adds to the uniqueness of the area, with no two homes being alike. Brick bungalows bring an intimate vibe and have wide front porches. Brightly colored Craftsman homes have been updated and remodeled, bringing modern-day amenities to the century-old structures. Tudor-influenced homes come with stone chimneys, small patios and detached garages. Prices in the area generally top off around the mid-to-high $100,000s.
As the home of the Motown Sound, Detroit puts a lot into the performing arts education of the city’s students. At the award-winning Edward “Duke” Ellington Conservatory of Music and Art, students can study vocal and instrumental music, dance and visual arts through grade eight. For high school, students can attend the Detroit School of Arts, which counts singers Aaliyah and Teairra Marí among its notable graduates. According to Niche, Ellington has an overall grade of C-minus, while the Detroit School of Arts has a C.
The Lahser-Clarita Playground is a welcoming outdoor space with a little something for everyone. Play and climbing structures keep the kids busy, and the picnic areas make great gathering spots. The playground also accommodates children of all abilities, making it a local favorite for outdoor fun. Residents can also visit the nearby Southfield City Centre, which offers dining, shopping and even more recreational activities. The center is also home to the Korean American Cultural Center, Vollbrecht Planetarium and the Evergreen Hills Golf Course.
To fill the fridge and pack the pantry, the nearby Meijer carries groceries and other daily essentials like home goods, apparel and electronics. Fresh fruit, veggies and cuts of meat can be found at TM African Market. Grab some takeout at Grub Detroit, which offers fun food like Nashville chicken sandwiches, jumbo shrimp and walking tacos. At Maty’s Cuisine, African fare is on the menu, featuring dishes like lamb shanks, fried plantain and jollof rice.
Far from the average movie theater, the historic Redford Theatre sits right on the edge of the community and has been entertaining residents since 1928. Owned by the Motor City Theatre Organ Society, the theater also hosts live events — such as the Candlelight Ballet and holiday shows — in addition to showing movies. The theater can also be rented out for private events.
