A small but active city on the outskirts of Detroit
Located at the southern edge of Metro Detroit and just across the Detroit River from Canada, the city of Trenton combines the region’s hardworking character with Upper Midwest's penchant for hockey. Home to roughly 18,000 people, the city is known equally for its access to its natural surroundings. “It’s an inviting riverfront community and a great place for all ages to work and play,” says Kirsten Brockmiller, longtime resident and Realtor with BBR Realty.
Founded in 1834, Trenton has a rich industrial heritage, much of which is related to its former power and steel plants. Today, Stellantis Trenton and Corewell Health Trenton Hospital are some of the city’s largest employers.

From hockey matches to riverside recreation
“In Trenton, it’s all about hockey,” says Dean Agius, an agent with Re/Max Innovation. “This is a tight community of hockey lovers.” Between the Trenton High School varsity hockey team and the Trenton Hockey Association, residents have several options for chasing the puck. Elizabeth Park offers various waterside recreational facilities and a public boat launch to set out for a day of fishing for walleye. “There’s just tons of stuff to do on the river,” Agius says. “People actually move here because of the outdoor amenities.” From the park, visitors can also hop on the North South Trail, which leads south to Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge, the only one of its kind in the nation.

Ranch-style homes dominate the city
Trenton’s median home price for a single-family home is $235,000, which falls below the national figure. Much of Trenton’s housing dates back to the mid-20th century, when Metro Detroit was the world’s main automaking center. Ranch-style homes appear most often throughout the city in communities like Bridge Meadows and Bretton Park. However, Taubitz Farms and other neighborhoods situated closer to downtown showcase varying architectural designs. A handful of single-family homes, condos and townhomes that were built in the early 2000s are also available.
Many of Trenton's highly-sought bungalows and ranches were designed in the mid-20th century.

Residents convene at Trenton's city-wide events
In late June, the city gathers downtown for the annual Trenton Summer Festival. “It’s a wonderful event for all ages,” says Brockmiller. “It has everything from arts and crafts to food and live entertainment." The city threw its first Trenton Art Festival in September 2024. Among gallery shows and workshops, the city hired artists from across the region to adorn downtown with large-scale murals. “People could enjoy shopping and eating downtown while watching these murals come to life,” Brockmiller says.
