Three Thirteen along the Avenue of Fashion is a great place to shop and close to Pembroke.
A growing neighborhood in a growing midwestern city
Pembroke is a small pocket of homes in an area getting increased attention from the city of Detroit. “Detroit is one of the fastest growing areas in terms of value,” says Sade Harper, real estate investor and licensed Realtor with EXP Realty. “And people are starting to see the value of areas like Pembroke.” The city aims to include the area in its planned Joe Louis Greenway trail for biking and walking, and it hopes to build up the shopping and dining scene along Livernois between West Seven Mile Road and Eight Mile Road—an area known as the Avenue of Fashion.
Cottage homes with Tudor details can be found throughout Pembroke.
Homes from the 1920s through the 1960s
Pembroke is part of an area the city is developing, says Harper, who has more than ten years of experience in Detroit real estate. “The city is investing heavily in that zip code,” she says. “It’s an upcoming area, one of the most sought-after areas in Detroit.” Homes were mainly built early to mid-twentieth century and might be fully renovated or in need of repairs. Brick Tudors from the 20s sit next to ranch homes built in the 60s, and homes sit on lots that are roughly a tenth of an acre. Ranch homes and Cape Cods in need of repair can sell as low as $40,000, but fully renovated homes of similar size can sell around $100,000. Larger, two-story homes start around $100,000 if they need updating or repairs but sell as high as $175,000 if they are well-maintained or recently renovated. Down one percent from the previous year, the median home price in Pembroke is $53,000.

Plentiful parks and more to come
Pembroke is home to Alfonso Wells Memorial Park, which offers a picnic area, a playground and basketball courts. There are dozens of other parks nearby as well, and Harper says the city is planning to include the area in its upcoming biking and walking trail. “They’re getting ready to build the Joe Luis Greenway nearby,” Harper says. “That trail will go all over downtown Detroit.”
Downtown Detroit is only a 15-minute drive from Pembroke.
Not far from The Motor City’s biggest events

Sitting twelve miles from downtown Detroit puts Pembroke within reach of these and other events throughout the city.

Lodge Freeway to the southwest and Interstate 96 just four miles south. All of the neighborhood’s streets are lined with sidewalks, so residents can hit their step goals with relative ease.
