Garden Homes
An upcoming Detroit neighborhood located just south of the 8-mile featuring trendy restaurants and several shopping options. Garden Homes is a unique destination for first-timers or those not wanting to lounge away from the bustling city life.
Garden Homes resembles a garden with homes being snuggled close together. Walk along the paved sidewalks, and you’ll see that every home has its own characteristics. That could be a unique color siding or accents along the front porches and doors. Homes come with gravel driveways along the side and a smaller front lawn. Those charming colors and amenities are complemented with bungalows and ranch-style architecture. You'll spot two-story homes within different neighborhood pockets, but most of the area is one-story properties. Two-to-three-bedroom properties are spread among 750 to 1,500 square feet of interior space. Prices are more budget-friendly, ranging between $90,000 to $120,000.
The Joe Louis Park and Johnson Recreation Center is located west of the area. The neighborhood requested this space 50 years ago, and it remains a happening spot. The recreation center still resembles the organic style architecture from its first design, which represents harmony. The 34,000-square-foot recreation center offers several fitness classes and community events. It also has new rooms in the works, including a multipurpose community room, computer room and arts and crafts room. On the outside, you can spend time shooting around the basketball courts or watch the kids let loose within Joe Louis Park playground. Owners with four-legged friends can enjoy the walking trails surrounding St. Martins Park, a mile south.
Students can learn from the Detroit Public Schools Community District within the Bates Academy and Mumford High School. Grades kindergarten through eighth grade can be done at Bates Academy, which carries a B-minus Niche grade. Students here can participate in several electives, including African American History, STEM, Forensics, Journalism and Youth and Government. Mumford High School has an overall C Niche rating. In the classrooms, students can earn college credits and explore different careers through their technical courses. One proud alumna is sports journalist and former ESPN Anchor Jemele Hill. In
Garden Homes is a vibrant spot for their plethora of shopping and dining options, located along 8-mile Rd and Livernois Street. Baker’s Keyboard Lounge is the oldest jazz club in the world, having been open since 1934. Any jazz singer you can think of has probably performed on this stage. Notable names include Nat King Cole and Louis Armstrong. Enjoy their signature soul food dishes while listening to the sounds of smooth jazz. Trap Vegan is the go-to if you’re looking for a delightful vegan option. Enjoy the comfort classics of burgers, fries and nachos while sipping a refreshing smoothie. If you need weekly groceries, you have the two choices of Kroger and Aldi, both located on 8-mile Road.
Heading downtown is simple as it’s only 13 miles away by car. Those who don’t have a car can use the DDOT buses, which can take you downtown. Garden Homes is four miles away from what’s been remarked for three years straight as one of “America’s Best 50 Hospitals,” Ascension Providence Hospital-Southfield Campus. This hospital offers care in nearly 48 different specialties. Garden Homes is an excellent gateway for those looking for city life and suburban charm.
