The 5 GROSSE POINTES – Stylish Living on the Shores of the Great Lakes

The five cities that comprise “The Pointes” are some of the most affluent municipalities in the United States. Turn-of-the-century automotive and manufacturing money built graceful brick homes and mansions on the shores of Lake St. Clair, added tree-lined streets and village shopping areas, and created a family lifestyle that has aged gracefully in classic tradition.

 

Grosse Pointe, Grosse Pointe Farms, Grosse Pointe Park, Grosse Pointe Shores and Grosse Pointe Woods are unique, adjacent communities and offer a mix of famous and historic estates mixed with remodeled Victorian homes and newer construction. The communities share the stellar Grosse Pointe Public School System, which has a long tradition of academic excellence and is consistently ranked among the top K-12 school systems in the nation.
