Welcome to "Bath City"
Located just 25 miles north of Detroit, the former spa town of Mount Clemens sits at the northeast corner of the Metro Detroit area and combines suburban quiet with the amenities and lifestyles of a small city. This city sits along the verdant banks of the Clinton River, with stretches of parkland flanking the meandering waterflow, and a vibrant downtown area laying beyond. From restaurants and bars to theatres and shops, Mount Clemens features a bustling downtown, while, just a few blocks away, residents may opt to dwell in early-20th-century homes with large front lawns and sitting along tree-shaded streets. With its location just beyond the regional hub of industry, its scenic nature and its vintage and competitively priced housing stock, Mount Clemens is the embodiment of midcentury America’s “American Dream.”
Mount Clemens is home to Macomb County's judicial offices and a variety of local shops.
For more than 100 years, Mount Clemens thrived on tourism driven by its renowned mineral baths, which stood as the city’s primary industry.
Mount Clemens provides access to a diverse range of restaurants, bars, local shops, and nearby parks.

Riverfront recreation and retail
One of Mount Clemens’ biggest selling points is the concentration of nature, retail, and recreation that is downtown. “Mount Clemens had a downtown with all of the restaurants and entertainment you could want on a weekly basis,” says Realtor Richard Clark of Gateway Brokerage, who has sold many homes in the area. Residents might take a Saturday morning to explore the Mt. Clemens Farmers Market selling local produce since 1979. Creatives can also sign up for a drawing class at the Mount Clemens Community Center, a hotspot for community recreation. It offers dozens of classes and events.
Local dining options express Macomb County’s culinary and cultural diversity. Golden Greek diner provides a retro feel and serves up popular American and Greek comfort foods, while the firefighter-themed Engine House is known for its specialty pizzas. Franks Eastside Tavern, a cozy spot and former speakeasy founded in 1933, has been voted the best burger in Detroit by Eat It Detroit. Within view of all these amenities is the scenic backdrop of the riverfront. Clark adds, “The tributary to the Clinton River runs through residents’ backyards and allows for tranquil views from their back porches.” This bending river splits the town in two but makes for a scenic stroll during a trip downtown. Additionally, the riverfront is home to several concerts, art markets, fairs and holiday festivals that keep downtown alive and thriving year-round.
