About Bloomfield Hills

Michigan's quiet, wooded address for top schools and serious privacy.

Bloomfield Hills is one of the most established luxury markets in Michigan. The city is small, quiet, and very green, with winding lanes that move through mature woods and around private lakes. The housing stock skews to large lot estates and architectural homes, often by name designers, and turnover is famously slow.

The defining institution is Cranbrook. The Cranbrook Educational Community spans 319 acres in the heart of the city and includes Cranbrook Schools (one of America's top private prep schools), the Cranbrook Art Museum, the Cranbrook Institute of Science, and Cranbrook House and Gardens. The whole campus is a National Historic Landmark.

Bloomfield Hills Schools, the public district, is consistently among the top-rated districts in Michigan. Add the country clubs (Oakland Hills Country Club hosts the U.S. Open), the proximity to Birmingham, and the wooded privacy of the residential streets, and you have one of metro Detroit's most enduring blue-chip addresses.

Lifestyle

What life looks like here.

Dining & Shopping

Bloomfield Hills itself is residential by design. Birmingham's restaurant scene is a five-minute drive south, and the city's country clubs cover the rest. Quiet by intention.

Parks & Outdoors

Bowers School Farm, Cranbrook House and Gardens, multiple nature preserves, and the wooded private parcels that define so much of the city. Outdoor space comes built into most properties.

Schools

Bloomfield Hills Schools is consistently ranked among Michigan's top public school districts, with three comprehensive elementary schools, two middles, and the consolidated Bloomfield Hills High School. Cranbrook Schools sits alongside as one of the top private prep schools in the country.

Things to Do

The Cranbrook campus is a year-round attraction in itself, with the Art Museum, the Institute of Science, and the Gardens. Oakland Hills Country Club has hosted six U.S. Opens. Birmingham nightlife is minutes away.
