About 25 minutes north of Detroit in southeastern Michigan is the city of Birmingham. The walkable, self-contained enclave is home to affluent professionals, including those who work in the auto and mortgage industries.
With a population of about 22,000, its median income is approximately $153,000, roughly double that of the greater Detroit area. Its 48009 ZIP Code also has the state’s priciest residential real estate as ranked by median listing price, at $1.45 million in November 2025, according to Realtor.com.
Within its 4.73 square miles, Birmingham’s real-estate market offers a healthy mix of historic estates, contemporary custom homes, small bungalows and high-end apartments and condos.
Neighborhoods are characterized by manicured lawns and tree-lined streets, all within proximity to downtown, which dates back to the 1830s and has nearly 300 retailers.
