About The James - Luxury Senior Residences
The James Ferndale is more than a place to live — it’s a lifestyle in the heart of one of Metro Detroit’s most vibrant neighborhoods. Just steps from cafés, dining, boutiques, and cultural experiences, this boutique 55+ community blends sophisticated design, modern amenities, and a walkable location that keeps you connected and inspired.
Once the historic St. James School, the building was thoughtfully reimagined in 2019 into a collection of studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom residences. Modern interiors pair seamlessly with original architectural details — from arched doorways and elegant stonework to exposed brick that honors its heritage.
Life at The James is designed for freedom, flexibility, and ease. Residents can enjoy a low-maintenance lifestyle with optional private-pay services, allowing more time for travel, family, recreation, or simply relaxing at home. With robust amenities and a prime location near downtown Ferndale, living here means enjoying Your Life. Your Home. Your Style.
