Miller Grove is a residential area on the outskirts of Detroit

If you’re looking for a home in a walkable, suburban community in western Detroit, you might consider Miller Grove. Here, you’ll find leafy, residential streets full of mature trees that bloom spectacularly in the springtime. “You’ve got a large percentage of homeowners here and it definitely shows,” says Realtor Kenneth Evans of Reach Realty Group, a western Detroit resident who has worked in the area for more than a decade.

Lower home prices near historic Grandmont

Located in the northwest corner of the city, the district is laid out on a traditional street grid with rows of homes that date back to the early and mid-20th century. Colonial Revival styles, cozy cottages and Tudor Revival style homes with steep-pitched rooftops and asymmetrical designs can all be found here. You’ll also see some Craftsman homes with their hallmark wide porches and thick columns. Large- and mid-sized lots are common here, so you’ll have plenty of room for landscaping, gardening or a backyard barbecue. Prices typically range from around $75,000 to $175,000, although some homes in need of major improvements have sold for $30,000 or less. “It’s great because you’re near the historic district of Grandmont, but you’re getting a lower price,” Evans says.
