The Grosse Pointes are five distinct municipalities along Lake St. Clair: Grosse Pointe, Grosse Pointe Park, Grosse Pointe Farms, Grosse Pointe Woods, and Grosse Pointe Shores, sharing the Grosse Pointe Public School System and some of the most storied housing stock in Metro Detroit. Top Agent Realty covers all five from its Troy headquarters, backed by 1,000+ five-star reviews on Google and Zillow and over $1 billion in closed sales. Prewar Tudors on 50 foot lots and lakefront estates are different markets that happen to share a name, and we price them that way.
Home values across the five Grosse Pointes
Zillow typical home values as of June 2026 (Zillow Research ZHVI, the same series our monthly market report uses):
| Community | Typical home value | Year over year |
|---|---|---|
| Grosse Pointe Woods | $361,000 | +3.1% |
| Grosse Pointe (City) | $488,000 | +3.7% |
| Grosse Pointe Park | $525,000 | +3.6% |
| Grosse Pointe Farms | $535,000 | +5.5% |
| Grosse Pointe Shores | $794,000 | +6.9% |
The ladder is the story: the Woods offers the most accessible entry by typical value with its mid-century stock, while the Shores, long ranked among Michigan’s wealthiest communities and home to the Edsel and Eleanor Ford House and the Grosse Pointe Yacht Club, anchors the top. Lakefront properties in any of the five trade well above these typical values.
Grosse Pointe schools
The Grosse Pointe Public School System serves all five communities plus part of Harper Woods. Grosse Pointe South High School, located in the Farms, serves the City, Park, and Farms; Grosse Pointe North serves the Woods and Shores side. The one boundary quirk worth knowing: Grosse Pointe Shores spans Wayne and Macomb counties, and its small Macomb section feeds South Lake Schools instead. We confirm the district and high school assignment for every address we show.
Living in the Pointes
Each Pointe has its own center of gravity. The City has The Village shopping district on Kercheval Avenue, the walkable retail hub for all five communities, plus Neff Park’s harbor and pool on the lake. The Park pairs tightly built prewar brick streets near the Detroit border with multimillion dollar lakefront homes, and residents get two private waterfront parks, Windmill Pointe and Patterson. The Farms centers on The Hill, its historic Kercheval downtown. The Woods is the largest and most residential of the five, and the Shores is the smallest and most exclusive, estate country on the lake.

Grosse Pointe real estate FAQ
How much does a home cost in Grosse Pointe, MI?
It depends which Grosse Pointe. Zillow’s June 2026 typical home values run from $361,000 in Grosse Pointe Woods to $488,000 in Grosse Pointe (the City), $525,000 in the Park, $535,000 in the Farms, and $794,000 in Grosse Pointe Shores, with lakefront estates trading well above those figures.
What school district serves Grosse Pointe?
The Grosse Pointe Public School System serves all five Grosse Pointes plus part of Harper Woods, with Grosse Pointe South High School serving the southern communities and North serving the Woods and Shores side. One exception: the small Macomb County section of Grosse Pointe Shores feeds South Lake Schools, so we confirm the district for every address.
How much is my waterfront home worth in Grosse Pointe?
Lakefront and lake-access homes across the Pointes price far above each community’s typical value, and automated estimates routinely miss what frontage, seawalls, and resident-only park access are worth here. A local agent comps waterfront sales separately, from Windmill Pointe to the Shores estates, before pricing any lakefront property.
Which Grosse Pointe is the most affordable?
By typical home value, Grosse Pointe Woods, at $361,000 in the June 2026 Zillow data, well under the other four. The Woods is the largest of the five, with mostly mid-century housing stock, and although it has no shoreline of its own, residents get lake access through the city-owned Lake Front Park.
