Ortonville's rural heritage and historic preservation
Ortonville is a small village of 1,300 people, 50 miles north of downtown Detroit. Considered by locals as the downtown of Brandon Township, the village features a quaint commercial strip on Mill Street, sports facilities and charming historic homes. Ortonville's population began to grow in the mid-1800s, when agricultural workers began moving to the area, and its past is still seen in some of the town’s original structures, including the old town hall and the community’s first post office.
Classic Victorian and ranch-styles listed below township average
Walking along the quiet lanes here will take you past Victorian farmhouses with fish-scale siding, cozy bungalows and ranch-style homes, most of which sit on lots of a half-acre or more. Large front porches are common, especially as you get closer to downtown, while, as you head farther out, you are more likely to find an attached garage. The average listing price is $265,000, which is around $100,000 cheaper than the Brandon Township average. Three-bedroom Victorians with over 2,500 square feet and two-acre lots can be listed for over $330,000, while two-bedroom ranch-style homes have hit the market for less than $160,000.
