San Bernardo
Neighborhood in Detroit, Michigan
Wayne County 48235
A small neighborhood with houses close to each other, San Bernardo has an appealing streetscape and homes that are small and easy to maintain.
Homes in San Bernardo tend to go for between $60,000 and $85,000. You'll generally find brick bungalows and ranch-style homes throughout the area, many of which have front facades with vinyl siding and front doors with glass storm doors. The neighborhood's streets are lined with sidewalks, well-maintained lawns with shrubs, and the occasional garden bed. It's easy for residents to get around the community, and close relationships between neighbors are common. Properties have small front lawns, but the area has road verges throughout, leading to narrower streets and more room around the sidewalk. Backyards tend to be separated by fences and typically have single-car garages.
San Bernardo is located off Route 10, and there are bus stops along 7 Mile and Greenfield Roads, which cradle the neighborhood. One benefit of living in San Bernardo is the easy access to public transit and Route 10, allowing residents to easily get around, whether to work, grab a bite to eat, or head to surrounding parts of Detroit. Downtown Detroit is about 12 miles from the neighborhood, making San Bernardo convenient for residents who work in the city.
Viola Liuzzo Playground is a popular spot a short drive from the neighborhood for fresh air or exercise. This grassy green space has a trail that loops around the center of the park, along with a playground and a tennis court. Comstock Playground is another popular green space near San Bernardo. Much larger than Viola Liuzzo Playground, it has a baseball diamond, a volleyball pit, and a large field for football or soccer.
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 a bite to eat, residents head to Mighty Wing Shop. It's a popular spot for fried chicken and hot buttered waffles. Slide into one of the restaurant's booths and enjoy the artwork on the walls before you order and while you eat. For grocery shopping and daily shopping needs, head to Meijer Supermarket. Dollar Tree is also close to the neighborhood, providing residents with plenty of shopping options. Thanks to the neighborhood's access to 7 Mile and Greenfield Roads, these restaurants are easy to get to.
For homebuyers looking to join a close-knit community tucked inside major Detroit thoroughfares, San Bernardo is an option worth considering.

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.
