Pleasant Ridge

With a wide range of housing stock dating back to the early 1900s, Pleasant Ridge features larger lot sizes and homes than Ferndale or Royal Oak. The city’s welcoming community center offers residents access to recreation classes, event space, and a pool. Pleasant Ridge is all residential apart from a small number of restaurants and businesses along Woodward Avenue. Since the city is sandwiched between Royal Oak and Ferndale, Pleasant Ridge residents enjoy the amenities of both communities, and can also reach Downtown Detroit in less than 20 minutes.
