An artistic community

The trendy neighborhood of Woodbridge is a vibrant, creative mecca of art organizations, outdoor community spaces and local dining with proximity to downtown Detroit and Wayne State University. Notable for its long-standing Victorian era homes, Woodbridge is the birthplace of world-renowned skater Tony Hawk, and artistic influences can be found throughout the neighborhood.

A Victorian village at the heart of Detroit

A drive through the neighborhood showcases turn-of-the century Victorian, colonial, and Queen Anne architectural styles expressive of Woodbridge’s rich heritage. Homes vary in price from $375,000 to $670,000, reflecting Woodbridge’s special character and unique demand. This triangular-shaped neighborhood is as close-knit as it is cultured, and local green spaces offer fora for the community to interact. A trip to Rose Dog Park and Scribbs Park acquaints newcomers with longtime residents and gives locals’ furry friends space to run around.

Historic trends and trendy history

Woodbridge is one of Detroit’s most historic neighborhoods; indeed, this district has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1980. This community was named for the farmstead of 1840s Governor William Woodbridge, atop which the community of Woodbridge developed during the 1870s; Woodbridge has since evolved from a Victorian village into housing for World War II defense industry workers and recently into a trendy, artistic enclave.
