Healthy Home Assessments in Bloomfield Hills

Reading a Bloomfield Hills home

Small estate city of about 4,500 among rolling wooded hills, defined by the Cranbrook campus and some of Michigan's highest household incomes and home values. On the record: Home of Cranbrook, the National Historic Landmark campus called one of the most important groups of educational and architectural structures in America. About 1,304 households hold some 4,004 residents. Christ Church Cranbrook was consecrated in 1928, and St. Hugo of the Hills Catholic church was built from 1931 to 1936.

How the housing sits

Owner-occupancy sits at 88.7%, and 74.9% of all units are detached single-family homes, per 2023 five-year Census figures. Bachelor's attainment among adults is 79.3%. The building record here reaches back to 1931, and an older envelope moves air and holds moisture on its own terms. One landmark on the ground here: Kirk in the Hills, a large Presbyterian church.

Because owner-occupancy reaches 88.7%, most visits cover a whole building rather than one unit of a shared system.
