Nestled alongside the rolling golf fairways and greens of the Dearborn Country Club is Golfcrest, an upscale neighborhood that's ideal for those who enjoy natural scenery. Its residential streets offer an idyllic, suburban vibe, with rows of midcentury homes on quiet, tree-lined streets. And although it may feel like it's slightly removed from city life, it’s only a short drive from shops and eateries on Michigan Avenue, Fairlane Town Center and the University of Michigan-Dearborn. “This area is considered one of the more desirable neighborhoods in the city. It has some beautiful Colonial and bungalow style homes, and it’s part of the Dearborn High School district,” says Realtor Teodora Djourova of Clients First Realtors, who has worked in real estate in Dearborn for more than a decade.

The Golden Triangle of Dearborn

The northern half of the neighborhood, known as “The Golden Triangle,” is among the most sought-after neighborhoods in the city. It consists largely of homes built in the 1950s and 60s, including many well-kept brick bungalows and Colonial Revival designs that come in a wide range of floorplans. Some offer as little as 1,500 square feet of space while others have upwards of 3,000 square feet of space. Large, manicured lawns are common here, usually offering between 5,000 and 7,000 square feet. These homes typically sell for between $250,000 and $400,000. The southern portion of the neighborhood offers a mix of midcentury and contemporary homes on larger parcels that sell for higher prices, usually somewhere between $700,000 and $1 million. Both sides of the neighborhood have some streets that border lush greenery, whether it’s the golf course or thick stands of trees near the banks of the Rouge River.

Michigan Avenue dining

Michigan Avenue is becoming an increasingly popular dining destination, Djourova says. “There are so many great options, everything from Yemeni restaurants to Thai and Italians. Locals can swing by Avenue Brunch House, a popular destination for brunch and lunch, or Sheeba Restaurant, a local favorite for Yemeni cuisine. There are also plenty of cafes in the area: Qahway House offers rich, Yemeni-style coffee and espresso, while nearby Black Box Coffee Shop and Art has a walk-up window for drinks and an indoor gallery. About 2 miles east of the neighborhood is Fairlane Town Center, an indoor shopping mall with department stores like Macy’s and JCPenney. It’s just a few miles big box stores and major grocery chains like Target, Walmart, Best Buy and Kroger.
