Vince & Joe’s Gourmet Market and new homes are in Shelby Township

If you want to learn what it’s like living in the Macomb County suburbs of Shelby Township and Utica, spend some time at Vince & Joe’s Gourmet Market. The Vitale family opened the market on Garfield Road in 1983 offering fresh-baked goods, seafood, meats and high-quality produce. But it wasn’t long before the gourmet market became one of the community’s most staunch supporters. The market is an integral part of this Macomb County community, sponsoring fund-raising events and hosting scores of programs and events for the public. It’s that community bond that has contributed to the steady increase in population over the last decade.

There are new developments planned, including more modern housing and improvements to the high-achieving schools and parks. “The Shelby Township/Utica area of Southeast Michigan is just an all-around good place to live,” says Maya Rushing, a Realtor with Keller Williams Paint Creek. “Evidence of that can be seen with all of the new housing developments, whether single-family housing on large lots or new modern homes in a planned development neighborhood.”

New developments, condos and older ranch-style homes vary in prices

Even before the newer development, Rushing says homebuyers already had a wide range of selections of architectural styles, like traditional brick colonials, modern ranch-style and some marrying an updated new traditional style with features inspired by older homes. Opportunities to enter the market at a variety of price points also make this community attractive. Smaller homes typically cost $120,000 to $380,000, while larger ones range from $380,000 to $1.3 million, depending on size and condition. Manufactured homes can cost $30,000 to $90,000. “It really just depends on what you need, but mostly it’s here,” Rushing says. The community also includes a number of townhouses and condos that can range anywhere from $70,000 to $570,000, depending on size and condition. Large condos in Briarwood Pointe cost $850,000 to $900,000. “People tend to love the offerings of attached living options. It’s not for everyone, but there are a lot of people who seek that type of housing,” Rushing says.

Recreation includes River Bends Park and renovated activities center

One of the most impressive aspects of living in the Shelby Township/Utica area is the abundance of parks and outdoor spaces. There are over 450 acres of parks in the township, with more coming. The new River Bends Park is a massive project set to be completed in 2023 that is expected to become a massive recreational area with trails, picnic shelters, playgrounds, and pavilions. The River Bends Park is also set to feature a beautiful overlook of the Clinton River, an outdoor-lovers paradise. For more indoor action, locals go to the Shelby Township Activities Center, which has a new addition opening in 2025. The center is a multi-purpose facility, complete with fitness equipment, a gymnasium, various sports courts, and classrooms. This new center is expected to be a hub for community events and gatherings.
