A small but exceptional city
Harper Woods is a small, quiet suburb about 12 miles northeast of Detroit. Featuring modest homes, convenient commute options and the amenities of Grosse Pointe Woods and Eastpointe, this city offers suburban living at an accessible price point. “It’s a good area for homebuyers that are looking for a good area at an affordable price,” says realtor Joe Hammel of Keller Williams Realty. “You get to live comfortably without the outrageous price tag.”
Harper Woods offers residents plenty of different home styles to choose from in MI.
Harper Woods is a tight knit community located less than 20 minutes from downtown Detroit.

Modest homes on well-kept roads
The quiet, tree-lined streets of Harper Woods feature well-kept ranches and bungalows on neat lots, most of which were built in the 1950s. Well-kept paved sidewalks allow for morning strolls, jogs and greeting neighbors. Most residences feature detached garages for off-street parking and fenced backyards for summer barbeques.
Housing prices range from $45,000 for a two-bedroom that needs some love to $245,000 for a newly remodeled three-bedroom. Homes are considered more budget-friendly than those in Grosse Pointe Woods and Eastpointe, with a median sale price of $125,000.
Hammel says these low prices, paired with increasing home values, attract many first-time homebuyers and investors. “Over the last 10 years, home values have appreciated an average of 15% year over year, so it’s a very promising location,” he says.
Cozy bungalow style homes are great for families that are just starting out.
Homes in Harper Woods often feature shade from surrounding old growth trees.

Neighborhood parks and Lake St. Clair
Outdoor recreation is easily accessible for nature enthusiasts. Salter Memorial Park is a community staple and stretches nearly 8 acres. During warm summer days, the sweet, smoky smell of barbeque permeates the air as the subtle thump of R&B plays from Bluetooth speakers. Locals compete with neighbors on the basketball courts for bragging rights, and kids run around the playground to burn off steam. The newly extended walking trail provides a place to get in daily steps and scenic dog walks.
At Johnston Park, kids play basketball and enjoy the playground after school. There are also plans to add new equipment at Danbury Park and build a pocket park on Roscommon. Lake Saint Clair is also just a short drive away, so water and boat enthusiasts can always visit the marinas.
Enjoy a day at Johnston Park with the family in Harper Woods, MI.
Pack a lunch and spend the day playing outdoors with your kids at Johnston Park.

A convenient location on the eastside
One of Harper Woods's main attractions is its location. Interstate 94 cuts through its southeast edge and provides convenient access to Wayne and Oakland counties. SMART Bus Route 610 runs parallel to the freeway along Harper, and DDOT Route 17 runs along Kelly and 8 Mile.
Residents of Harper Woods enjoy living in close proximity to I-94 making commutes downtown easy.
Hop on a DDOT bus at any of Harper Woods' stations and be downtown in minutes.

Shopping and dining on Mack, Harper and Kelly
Mack, Harper and Kelly provide convenient places to handle shopping and dining needs. Yoshi Hibachi is a metro Detroit staple and is conveniently located on Kelly. They head to Harper to chow on savory classics at National Coney Island, and a little further north to grab fresh bagels and orange juice at Eastside Bagel.
On Mack, locals can choose to grab breakfast, lunch or dinner at the popular Mack Avenue Grille. Just down the road, they grab a scoop (or two) of unique ice cream flavors from Ashby's Sterling Ice Cream. Mack’s also home to a Kroger and several small shops, but locals have travel to Roseville for the nearest Walmart.
The Cracked Egg is an ideal spot to meet with friends and family for brunch.
National Coney Island is an ideal spot for a quick lunch.
