Schaefer 7-8 Lodge blends residential calm with city convenience in northwest Detroit. Bordered by its namesake Schaefer Highway and the John C. Lodge freeway, the neighborhood’s grid of brick bungalows and ranches offers deep lots, driveways, and garages—ideal for gardeners, hobbyists, and anyone who prizes extra space. Quick hops onto M-10 and the 7 and 8 Mile corridors make commuting easy, while nearby commercial stretches along Schaefer and Greenfield bring everyday essentials close to home.
Weekends are well covered. Tee times are minutes away at the storied Detroit Golf Club, and trails, tennis courts, and playgrounds await at Palmer Park, both a short drive via the Lodge. Bus riders can count on DDOT routes along 7 Mile and 8 Mile for reliable crosstown connections. Dining runs the gamut—from classic coney counters to Caribbean and soul food spots—and the Avenue of Fashion on Livernois adds boutiques and cafes just beyond the western edge.
Families appreciate access to the Detroit Public Schools Community District, with neighborhood-serving schools and nearby options such as Mumford High School. Adjacent communities like Bagley and the city line to Ferndale expand choices for shopping, arts, and nightlife, while strong block clubs foster watchful, neighborly streets.
