Village of Clarkston
Located in Oakland County
Founded by a pioneer, the village of Clarkston, Michigan, grew quickly and by the late 19th century, it was a thriving community with its own railroad station. Today, nearly two centuries after Nelson Clark assembled his sawmill on the banks of the Clinton River, Clarkston is a busy village with a rich history and culture.
Supporters say the Oakland County village of Clarkston offers residents the best of both worlds: a small-town atmosphere with easy access to big-city amenities.
“Clarkston is not Mayberry by any stretch of the imagination,” says Kim Bryant, an agent with Rivertown Realty. “But it definitely has a friendly community vibe that people find welcoming.”
That sense of community charm and the short commute to bigger action in downtown Detroit is one of the reasons more people are considering this community as they make interstate moves. Clarkston is home to a diverse mix of architectural styles, from historic Colonials to ranch-style homes and colorful cottages. The median home value in Clarkston is $525,000, with prices ranging from $200,000 to $3 million.
Residents also enjoy access to various parks and amenities, including Bay Court, Shippley Park, Depot Park and Mill Pond Dam. Bay Court features a playground, picnic area and a boat launch, while Shippley Park is home to a playground, sports fields and a walking trail. And, located in the heart of downtown Clarkston, Depot Park features a playground, picnic areas and a gazebo.
Clarkston’s students are served by the highly rated Clarkston Community Schools district. The district's schools include Clarkston High School, which is a nationally ranked high school with a strong academic reputation. Independence Elementary School is known for its focus on academics and character development. And Clarkston Middle School is the highest Niche-ranked middle school in Clarkston. The school offers a variety of academic and extracurricular programs, including athletics, clubs, and arts programs.
While all of those amenities are appealing, Bryant says residents also love living in Clarkston for its excellent shops, restaurants and tons of community events.
She says there’s always something going on, like the Taste of Clarkston. The food festival features cuisine from local restaurants, live music and a kids' zone. There’s also the Clarkston Independence Day Parade, Arts Festival and Christmas Parade, with floats, marching bands and of course, Santa Claus. "Clarkston is a wonderful place to live, raise a family and start a business,” says Bryant.
The Village Bakery in downtown Clarkston is known for its fresh-baked bread, pastries and sandwiches. With its exposed brick walls and wooden tables inside, the exterior of the bakery is painted a bright yellow color and features a large front window. Another popular spot is the Bunkhouse Burger, which is known for its juicy burgers, hand-cut fries and milkshakes. The Bunkhouse Burger has a casual and fun atmosphere where pop-culture memorabilia cover the walls. For groceries, Trader Joels joins Kroger and Meijer as popular destinations. For clothing, famous can head to Nordstrom Rack, Target or Von Maur department store.
