Gross Pointe is a small city and suburb bordering Detroit. This predominately residential area feels like more of a neighborhood since many residents are within walking distance to the city. Gross Pointe Park is the perfect mix of urban and suburban architectural styles featuring brick triple-decker apartments, high-rise studio apartments, and single-family houses in a variety of styles from Tudor to bungalow. The city has two small commercial centers which have laid-back bars, delicious brunch spots, indie art galleries, and diverse restaurants. Nestled along the Lake Saint Clair, residents love to visit the waterfront parks located in and around the city. Windmill Pointe Park not only has great views of the water, but there’s also a gym, heated pool, and a marina within the park. After the sunsets, you can even catch a film at the Okulski Family Theater, an intimate cinema with recliners. Staying true to the feel of a neighborhood, the community is tight-knit, staying close through community organizations and events. With safe neighborhoods, great amenities, and excellent schools, families clearly love Gross Pointe Park, but renters who want to be close to the city for work or play without being in the center of the mix.
