Why Grosse Ile
Grosse Ile isn't a suburb you pass through — it's an island you arrive at. Guests cross onto the island via one of Michigan's beautiful bridges, built in 1913, then drive past century-old estates and modern waterfront homes on the way into town. Twenty-five minutes from Downtown Detroit and under an hour from Birmingham, Northville, or Ann Arbor, Grosse Ile has been named one of the country's "Top 100 Best Places to Live" — a quiet, guarded, old-money island community most of Metro Detroit has never had a reason to visit. Until now.
