Grosse Pointe Michigan Mansions & Landmarks

Though there are hundreds of beautiful homes and mansions visible from Lakeshore Drive, the largest estates are totally hidden behind gates, long driveways and walls of well manicured shrubs.

The "Grosse Pointe area" is actually an affluent cluster of five separate suburban cities (Grosse Pt, Grosse Pt Shores, Grosse Pt Woods, Grosse Pt Farms & Grosse Pt Park). These five cities have a collective population of 50,000 within an area of 12 square miles. "The Pointes" are bordered by Detroit on two sides, Lake St Clair on the south and the city of St Clair Shores on the north.

Despite the obvious wealth of these five towns, only two of them are among metro Detroit's 10 wealthiest communities (GP Shores & GP Farms). "The Pointes" actually have lower per-capita incomes than cities like Bloomfield Hills, Birmingham, Barton Hills & Orchard Lake. But none of these richer locales offer more beautiful, publicly accessible scenery or possess more decorated history than that of Grosse Pointe.
