Set within Wayne County and bordered by close-knit neighbors in Allen Park, the community’s grid of tidy streets, pocket parks, and long-loved brick homes makes day-to-day living straightforward.

Recreation spans playgrounds, ballfields, and seasonal programs, while beloved diners and bakeries along Oakwood Boulevard keep everyday errands convenient.
