Gross Point Groves

Late afternoon is when Gross Point Groves shows its best side—light hitting the tree-lined streets just right, neighbors out walking dogs, the whole six-acre subdivision feeling like a small pocket of somewhere. You're in John Ball Park, the west-side neighborhood anchored by the zoo and that sprawling green space, but this platted subdivision has its own quiet rhythm. Lots here run about a fifth of an acre, homes hover around $333K, and you're close enough to thirty-six restaurants within a mile that you'll never exhaust your options—coffee's a six-minute walk, decent dinner spots are even closer.
