A historic, diverse community within Dearborn, Michigan

Located in the center of Dearborn, Henry Ford-Fairlane is a historic residential neighborhood with a blossoming downtown. Though winters here can be cold, residents “will go somewhere warm like Florida, but they get homesick for Dearborn,” says Mohamed Ace Soba, who was born and raised in Dearborn and is the broker and owner of Ace of Real Estate on Joy Road. For over 7 years, he has been helping future Dearborn residents find their dream home. “The food and community are so much better here than anywhere else I’ve been. People are much more friendly towards each other. That’s the beauty of Dearborn.” A variety of restaurants downtown contribute to an expansive list of cuisine to try, and Dearborn also has the largest Muslim population in Michigan. The Islamic Center of America mosque just north of the neighborhood is the largest in North America.

Children may start at Duvall Elementary School, which earns a B-plus from Niche. They can then attend Smith Middle School, graded a B-minus, which participates in the National Junior Honors Society for outstanding students.
