Winship offers a central city location and strong community ties
If you’re looking for a home in a centrally located, well-established Detroit community, Winship might be the perfect place to settle down. It’s also where you'll find several sought-after magnet schools and Detroit Medical Center's Sinai-Grace Hospital, one of the largest in the city. “It’s one of those neighborhoods that has stood the test of time. You’ve got a broad mix of people that have lived there for many years, retirees and first-time homeowners. There’s a strong sense of community,” says Realtor Charles Ryan of Keller Williams, who has lived and worked in Detroit for over two decades.
DMC Sinai-Grace is a major employer of the Winship neighborhood.

Homes blend vintage vibes with thoughtful modern upgrades
Take a stroll through this residential district and you’ll see streets lined with sidewalks, manicured front lawns and mature trees. There are a mix of smaller homes here, including Colonial Revival style homes, cozy cottages, modest bungalows, low-flung ranch homes and some duplexes and multi-family dwellings. Lot sizes are typically on the smaller side, but you’ll still have plenty of room for landscaping, gardening and backyard barbecuing. Many of today's owners have lovingly maintained these homes over the years, making thoughtful upgrades while retaining the home's original charm. Prices typically range from around $70,000 to $200,000. “These homes are solidly built and affordable,” Ryan says.

Local eats, nearby shops and driving the distance for big-box stores
Shopping and dining can be found on McNichols Road, a major local throughfare that traverses the southern edge of the community. Southern Smokehouse is a great spot for soul food staples like fried chicken and collard greens, while those in the mood for a cocktail can grab a seat at Teresa’s Place.
