COMMUNITY INSIGHTS

Welcome to Grosse Pointe. There is no finer place to call home.

Nestled along the picturesque shores of Lake St. Clair and just a short drive from downtown Detroit’s cultural and historical districts, you will find the regal community of Grosse Pointe, Michigan. This 11 square-mile area is comprised of five individual communities: The City of Grosse Pointe, Grosse Pointe Farms, Grosse Pointe Park, Grosse Pointe Woods and the Village of Grosse Pointe Shores.

Upon entering Grosse Pointe, you will be greeted by canopied, tree-lined streets, immaculately groomed yards, waterfront sidewalks sprinkled with joggers, cyclists and dog walkers, convenient markets, boutique shops and eateries.

Along with the natural grace and beauty of the community, all residents are provided with a host of municipal services including: street sweeping, leaf collection, sidewalk snow removal, recycling and garbage pick-up.

Each individual city maintains its own residents-only waterfront park, complete with swimming pools, picnic tables, tennis courts, skating rinks, playground and marinas. Family-oriented activities can be found year-round, including a farmers market, home and garden tours, block parties, street festivals, art fairs, outdoor concerts, holiday parades, fun runs/walks and plenty more.

The Grosse Pointe Board of REALTORS® produced this wonderful video about the area and we are happy to share it with you here. We hope you’ll take a look! It provides a great overview of our community and way of life.
