Welcome to Snow Woods

Named for the well-known local physician Dr. Edward Sparrow Snow and the ubiquitous wooded terrain, the densely populated Dearborn neighborhood of Snow Woods is full of culture and conveniences. This mixed residential-industrial area is home to Dearborn’s Beaumont Hospital, part of Michigan’s largest healthcare network, while also bordering major centers of retail, dining, and industry, from a Ford production facility to Outer Drive restaurants. With direct access to M-39, Snow Woods is a central location for easy commutes to neighboring communities.

Into the woods

In Snow Woods, brick ranches sprawl throughout the surrounding wetland oak forest landscape. The woods are a vital component of the neighborhood, retaining floodwater and acting as a natural sound barrier from the traffic of nearby highways. Bungalows with triangular roofs and homes with drive in garages are typical, and sidewalks connect residencies. Most homes in Snow Woods date to the mid-20th century, when Metro Detroit’s automaking industry attracted thousands new residents to Dearborn and created a demand for housing close to these workplaces. Today, the community in Snow Woods loves biking, as locals can take a bicycle ride and discover two-story colonials with spacious yards and picturesque gardens. Homes tend to sell for between $200,000 and $275,000, making Snow Woods one of Dearborn’s more expensive areas.

Driving into Detroit

Access to major roads puts residents within a 4-mile drive of downtown Dearborn and a 13-mile drive from downtown Detroit, ensuring that commuters have easy access to the employment and entertainment opportunities of both urban centers. While Snow Woods may be nestled among thick foliage, nature is no obstacle to locals feeling connected to the rest of Metro Detroit.
