Tree-lined streets, local parks and brick bungalows are part of the appeal of Highland-Fort Dearborn Manor, a suburban neighborhood in the heart of Dearborn. During the spring and summer months, the neighborhood comes alive with bright, blooming vegetation, while fall brings a collage of red, yellow and orange hues. Residents are just west of the rolling fairways at Dearborn Country Club, and only a short drive from popular shops and eateries on nearby Michigan Avenue. The neighborhood is also walking distance from Dearborn High School, one of the highest rated schools in the area. “A lot of people looking for a home in this area are very excited that it’s zoned for Dearborn High,” says Realtor Teodora Djourova of Clients First Realtors, who has worked in real estate in the city for more than a decade.

Suburban Neighborhood in Dearborn, Michigan
Wayne County 48124, 48128
Brick bungalows and Colonial Revival styles
The neighborhood offers rows of cozy, brick bungalows and Colonial Revival designs, largely built in the 1940s and 50s. These homes are typically on the smaller side, offering between 1,500 and 2,500 square feet of space. Today’s owners have lovingly maintained these homes, making thoughtful upgrades while keeping the home’s original charm. Manicured front yards, sidewalks and mature trees line the streets, making it a great place to enjoy an afternoon stroll. Home prices typically range from around $250,000 for smaller homes, while larger Colonial Revival styles can sell for upwards of $350,000.

Stellar Dearborn schools
Students living in the neighborhood attend some of Dearborn’s top-ranked schools, including Charles A. Lindbergh Elementary School, Bryant Middle School and Dearborn High School, all of which hold B ratings from Niche, an online school review site. Dearborn High is one of the city’s three high schools and enrolls more than 2,000 students every year. The high school offers plenty of athletic programs and extracurriculars for students to participate in, with everything from concert bands and theater to football, basketball and hockey. The University of Michigan-Dearborn is also close by. It’s a public university that enrolls more than 8,000 undergraduates and postgraduates every year.

Local parks, a country club and a river trail
There are several small, community parks within the neighborhood, including Martha-Myrtle Playground and Tannahill Playlot, where residents can enjoy some fresh air with the kids. Avid golfers can tee up at Dearborn Country Club, a private club with an 18-hole course, an upscale swimming pool and a luxurious clubhouse with event spaces. The club is well-known for being built on part of the former estate of automobile mogul Henry Ford. Locals also frequent Ford Field Park, a large green space with baseball fields, tennis courts and access to the Rouge River Gateway Trail.
Diverse dining on Michigan Avenue
Shopping and dining can be found close to home on Michigan Avenue. There are plenty of ethnic eateries here; whether it’s Mexican, Middle Eastern or Italian, there’s something for everyone. For upscale fusion, locals head to Mint 29, while Sheeba offers sumptuous Yemeni cuisine. There are also several cafes along Michigan Avenue, including Qahway House, which specializes in Yemeni-style coffee drinks. 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 also just a few miles big box stores and major grocery chains like Target, Walmart, Best Buy and Kroger.
Getting around Dearborn and beyond
Highland-Fort Dearborn Manor is about 4 miles from Interstate 94, a major local highway that will take you all over the Detroit metropolitan area. From the neighborhood it’s about 14 miles to downtown Detroit, 10 miles to the Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport and about 34 miles from Ann Arbor. The Henry Ford Medical Center and Beaumont Hospital are both within about 3 miles from the neighborhood.
