Castle Rouge residents enjoy the neighborhood's convenient location, community atmosphere and well-maintained lawns. This neighborhood is attractive for potential homebuyers who want to know their neighbors and enjoy a quiet community. Just off Interstate 96, the area is about 15 miles from downtown Detroit and is directly next to a manufacturing park.

Homes in Castle Rouge tend to go for between $60,000 and $160,000. This tidy suburb has tree-lined streets and sidewalks throughout. Homes at the top of this price range generally have over 2,000 square feet and two or more bedrooms and bathrooms. Lawns across the neighborhood are tightly manicured, and most have shrubs or garden beds in front of the house. Homes in San Bernardo were generally built in the mid-20th century and tend to be brick bungalows, ranch-style homes with vinyl siding. You'll often see residents outside tending to their yards and stopping by each other's houses to chat. A fence in the back generally separates backyards, so building a sense of community with the people on your block is easy.

Wilson Park is the neighborhood's outdoor gathering place. Home to a basketball court, grassy area and a playground, it's a popular spot for residents to go out and get some fresh air. It's within walking distance of nearly every home in the neighborhood, making it a convenient location for residents as well as a popular one. Golfers in the area can head to the 18-hole Rouge Park Golf Course. This is a popular spot for area residents to spend time on the weekend, and it has a picnic shelter and a snack bar in case you get hungry while you're putting.

Castle Rouge is located in a primarily residential and commercial area. If residents want a bite to eat or need to pick up groceries, most hop in the car and take Interstate 96 or Route 24 and head to a shopping center like Redford Plaza, where you can grab groceries at Sun Valley Supermarket or shop at Burlington. For a quick bite to eat, head to No Change Cafe. This local favorite serves home-style food like fried fish and their hash and eggs burger inside a corrugated metal interior.

Students in the area are part of Detroit Public Schools Community District, which has a C rating on Niche. The area's youngest learners begin their academic journey at Spain Elementary Middle School, which has a C-minus rating from Niche and serves grades K-8. The school is known for its fun student events, like its sneaker ball. Students were encouraged to wear their finest duds from head to toe and show off their finest footwear. Students are creative in more ways than one at Spain Elementary-Middle, with four students attending a Summer Theatre Program in the summer of 2023. Students conclude their secondary academic journey at Cass Technical High School, which holds a B-plus rating from Niche and offers industry certification programs and a Robotics club.

For homebuyers looking for their own quiet lot in a friendly neighborhood, Castle Rouge is an option worth considering.

GreatSchools: The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
