Quick Facts: Redford Charter Township at a Glance
Here's the cheat sheet. If you read one section, make it this one.
Where Is Redford Charter Township?
Redford Charter Township is a charter township in Wayne County, Michigan, on the western border of the City of Detroit, about 15 miles northwest of downtown. Downtown Detroit is roughly a 20 to 25 minute drive. The township is bordered by Detroit to the east and north, Livonia to the west, Dearborn Heights to the south, Westland to the southwest, and the Clarenceville / Farmington Hills area to the north.
Now here's a clarification that trips people up constantly, and it's the single most important thing on this whole page.
There's a Detroit neighborhood also called "Redford" (sometimes "Old Redford"), and then there's the actual Redford Charter Township Michigan, which is its own government in Wayne County. They are not the same place, and they do not have the same prices. The Detroit neighborhood's median sale price runs in the $65,000 to $80,000 range. The township runs around $176,000 to $194,000.
Big difference.
When you search homes for sale in Redford Charter Township Michigan, you want the township, zip codes 48239 and 48240. The big national portals mix these two up all the time. Type "Redford MI homes for sale" into one of them and you'll get township bungalows and Detroit-neighborhood listings jumbled together, which is how you end up looking at a $70,000 Detroit listing thinking you found a steal in the township. I don't make that mistake, and I won't let you make it either.
The roads make the township easy to reach from anywhere in Metro Detroit. I-96 cuts straight through east to west. Telegraph Road (US-24) runs the eastern edge. Grand River Avenue carries you diagonally toward downtown. That access is one of the quiet reasons demand here stays steady.
Why Move to Redford? (And the Honest Trade-Offs)
Here's where most pages turn into a brochure. I'm not going to do that. You're the one buying or selling a house, so you deserve the real picture.
Picture this. It's a Saturday morning. You grab coffee, walk the kids to Claude Allison Park, and you're back home before the cartoons end. Tree-lined streets, sidewalks, neighbors who actually know your name. That's Redford.
What's genuinely great about Redford Charter Township:
- Affordability. This is the headline. Redford Charter Township homes for sale are among the cheapest you'll find that still sit right against Detroit and Livonia. A household earning the local median income can actually own a real house here.
- Location. I-96 and Telegraph put you anywhere in Metro Detroit fast. Downtown in about 20 minutes. The airport in about 25.
- Solid bones. These postwar brick homes were built to last. Real plaster, hardwood floors, full basements, detached garages.
- Community. A Memorial Day parade, a summer festival, Oktoberfest, concerts at the Redford Marquee. People here stick around for generations.
That last one matters more than you think.
Now the honest trade-offs, because trust is built on them:

That last one matters more than you think.
Now the honest trade-offs, because trust is built on them:
- School ratings are middle-of-the-road, not top-tier. South Redford grades better than Redford Union. If schools are your number one, I'll show you exactly which streets feed which district.
- Some pockets near the Detroit border are softer on value than the interior subdivisions. Location inside the township matters a lot.
- Inventory is older. Budget for updates: roofs, furnaces, sometimes electrical. A good inspection is nonnegotiable, and I'll be standing right there with you.
- There's no walkable downtown core with a row of cafes. For a fancy dinner you'll drive a few minutes to Livonia or Dearborn.
That's the deal. Affordable, convenient, real. Not flashy. If you want flashy, I'll send you to Northville and we'll both laugh about the price tag.
Here's the truth about homes for sale in Redford Charter Township MI: it's a smart-money town. First time buyers get in the door. Investors get rentals that actually cash flow. Retirees stay put without getting taxed out. Move-up families build equity here and trade up later.
Who thrives here? Practical people who'd rather own free and clear than impress the neighbors.
Redford vs. Nearby Communities
This is the comparison the national sites won't give you, and it's exactly the kind of question people ask Google and ChatGPT: "Redford vs Livonia," "is Redford cheaper than Dearborn Heights." So let's settle it. Here's how Redford Charter Township MI stacks up against its neighbors on median sale price.
Neighbor figures from Redfin and Houzeo, early-to-mid 2026. All move with the market; my team pulls live numbers on request.
Read that table again. Redford is the value play.
You can buy here, build equity, and trade up to Livonia or Farmington Hills in a few years if you want. I've literally walked dozens of families through exactly that path. Start in a Redford bungalow, build five years of appreciation and paydown, roll it into the Livonia colonial with the better schools.
Want a move-up plan? That's my favorite conversation. Call me.
I'll also be straight: I don't care which of these towns you pick. The Perna Team serves every one of them, so when you sit down with me, it's a genuine fit conversation, not a sales pitch. But when people ask whether Redford Charter Township MI homes for sale are worth it, my honest answer is simple. For the price, you're buying into the best-located affordable suburb on Detroit's west side. Not even close.
Neighborhoods & Subdivisions in Redford
Redford isn't one big blob. It's a collection of distinct subdivisions, each with its own feel. Here's your insider map, with the cross-streets I actually use when I'm describing a listing to a buyer.
Picture this. You're driving Beech Daly on a fall evening, leaves coming down, and every other house has a porch light on. That's the heart of the township.
Here's a pro tip most buyers miss. The school-district line runs right through Redford. The same-price home on one street feeds South Redford (Lee M. Thurston High), and a few blocks away feeds Redford Union. If schools matter to you, that detail can be worth thousands at resale. I keep those maps in my head.
Landmarks that anchor the township: the Redford Township District Library on West Six Mile, Glenhurst Golf Course, the Redford Marquee amphitheater, and just over the Detroit line, the historic Redford Theatre at Lahser and Grand River. The township center sits near the intersection of Beech Daly and Five Mile (about 42.39° N, 83.30° W), with the main commercial spine running along Grand River Avenue and Telegraph Road (US-24).
When you're hunting homes for sale in Redford Charter Township MI, tell me your priorities (budget, schools, commute, project versus move-in ready) and I'll point you to the exact subdivision that fits, not just the listings that happen to be active today.
Homes by Price Range
People search by budget, so here's roughly what your money buys in Redford Charter Township Michigan right now.
- Under $100,000. Condos, fixer-uppers, and the occasional vacant lot. Investor territory, or a project if you're handy.
- $100,000 to $175,000. Classic two- and three-bedroom bungalows, often needing some cosmetic love. This is the bread-and-butter of the market and the heart of Redford Charter Township homes for sale.
- $175,000 to $250,000. Updated bungalows and ranches, move-in ready, finished basements, newer mechanicals. The sweet spot for most buyers.
- $250,000 to $350,000. Larger homes, bigger lots, full renovations, the occasional newer build or premium condo.
- $350,000+. The top of the Redford market. Rare, usually a standout property like a custom build or an oversized lot. If your budget lives mostly above this line, I'll be honest and show you Livonia, Northville, or Farmington Hills too, all of which we cover.
That spread is exactly why Redford Charter Township MI homes for sale attract everyone from first-time buyers to seasoned investors. Tell me your number and I'll match it.
Market Overview: What's Really Happening
Let me translate the numbers into plain English, because data without context is just noise.
Redford Charter Township Market Snapshot (Updated May 2026)
So is it a buyer's or seller's market? Honestly, it's the rare market that works for both. Inventory is tight enough that a clean, well-priced home sells in days, which favors sellers. But prices are low enough that buyers can still get in without getting crushed.
Here's the catch nobody tells you. The "average days on market" number hides the truth. Move-in-ready homes go in under two weeks. Tired homes priced like they're updated sit for months. The difference is pricing and prep. That's the entire game, and that's where my team earns its keep.
For investors, this is one of the more interesting plays in Wayne County: low purchase prices, steady rents, and a rent-to-price ratio that beats most neighboring suburbs.
If you're selling, my team averages a 99.1% list-to-sale ratio and about a 14-day average days on market. That's not luck. That's a system.
Property Types & Architecture in Redford Charter Township MI
Redford grew up in the postwar boom, and the housing stock tells that story. When you tour homes for sale in Redford Charter Township MI, here's what you'll mostly see:
- Brick bungalows. The signature Redford home. One-and-a-half stories, hardwood floors, a finished or semi-finished basement, a detached garage out back. Tons of character.
- Brick ranches. Single-story living, great for downsizers and anyone done with stairs. Common in Western View and Grand Dale.
- Colonials and Cape Cods. Scattered throughout, usually a bit larger.
- Condos and townhomes. Concentrated near 5 Mile and 7 Mile, like Ashley Park. Lower maintenance, lower price.
- Multi-family and investment. Duplexes and rentals, especially near the Detroit border.
Most homes were built between the 1940s and 1960s, sit on tidy grid-pattern lots, and were made with materials you don't get anymore: solid plaster, real wood, brick all the way around.
A quick word on historic and older homes. Redford traces its roots to the 1820s, and some of these homes have real stories and real quirks (knob-and-tube wiring, original boilers, lot-line questions). This is one of the reasons I earned my Historic Home Expert designation. Buying an older home without an agent who knows what to look for is a gamble. With me, it isn't.
New construction is limited because the township is essentially built out. You'll occasionally find newer condos or an infill home on a previously vacant lot, and I'll flag those the moment they list.
Schools & Education
Three districts serve Redford Charter Township Michigan, and which one your home feeds is a real factor in both your kids' day and your resale value. Nail this down before you fall in love with a house.
Thurston runs an Eagle Scholars honors track and an EDGE career-and-technical program with dual enrollment. A 95% graduation rate is genuinely strong for the area.
Charter and choice options include Westfield Charter Academy and Washington-Parks Academy within the township, plus Michigan's schools-of-choice program.
My honest take: if schools are your top priority, focus on the South Redford footprint and we'll target those streets. If you're an investor or empty-nester, the district matters less, and you'll find better deals in the Redford Union pockets. Either way, I'll tell you the truth about what feeds where.
For current ratings and enrollment, go straight to the source: South Redford, Redford Union, and the live GreatSchools and Niche pages, since scores shift year to year.
Higher ed nearby: Madonna University is right next door in Livonia, Schoolcraft College is a short drive, and University of Michigan-Dearborn, Wayne State, and Eastern Michigan are all within easy reach.
This is why school quality matters for value: demand for homes for sale in Redford Charter Township Michigan holds up best on the streets that feed the stronger schools. That's a resale factor, not just a parenting one.
Lifestyle, Parks & Recreation
Redford packs a surprising amount of green space into 11 square miles. The township runs 15 parks, two golf courses, an ice arena, a community center, a splash pad, and a skate park.
The hits:
- Bell Creek County Park for soccer fields, ball diamonds, and creekside walking.
- Claude Allison Park and Capitol Park for lit softball diamonds, courts, and walking tracks.
- Lola Valley Park, where the middle branch of the River Rouge runs through.
- Glenhurst Golf Course, which opened May 28, 1932, and bills itself as the busiest 18-hole public course in Michigan.
- Western Golf & Country Club, a private club that's been part of the township for a century.
- The Redford Township District Library on West Six Mile, and the Redford Marquee, an open-air market and amphitheater built where the old library stood.
Picture this. Friday night in July, lawn chair at the Marquee, a community concert playing, kids running around with ice cream. That's a real Redford summer, and it costs almost nothing.
And just over the Detroit line in Old Redford sits the Redford Theatre, which opened January 27, 1928, a movie palace with a Japanese motif and its original 3-manual, 10-rank Barton pipe organ, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. It still shows classic films for a few bucks a ticket. It's a local treasure, and there's nothing else like it in western Wayne County.
Dining & Shopping
You won't find a celebrity-chef scene here, and that's fine. Redford does honest, friendly, neighborhood food.
- Murphy's Restaurant, serving Irish fare for over 40 years.
- Ford's Garage, the all-American burger-and-beer joint with vintage service-station decor.
- Local pizzerias and diners where the staff learns your order.
For groceries and essentials: Value Center Marketplace, ALDI, and Joe Randazzo's Fruit & Vegetable. For bigger shopping runs, Livonia and Dearborn are minutes away, including Laurel Park Place in Livonia.
Here's a typical run. Sunday breakfast at a local diner, a grocery stop on Grand River, then an easy drive to Livonia or Dearborn when you want something special. You're never far from anything. Dearborn's Middle Eastern dining scene, some of the best in the country, is a short hop south.
Commute & Transportation
Location is Redford's quiet superpower. I-96 cuts right through, and Telegraph Road (US-24) and Grand River Avenue give you north-south and diagonal options.
SMART buses run along Beech Daly and Telegraph, and the township operates a Dial-A-Ride service for seniors and residents. The average commute for a Redford resident is about 25 minutes, which for Metro Detroit is genuinely good.
Honest note on walkability: Redford is car-first. You'll drive for most errands. The exception is the park and trail network, which is a walker's and cyclist's dream once you're on it.
When buyers tell me they need an easy commute, homes for sale in Redford Charter Township Michigan almost always make my shortlist for exactly this reason. You're plugged into the whole Metro Detroit highway grid without paying a premium-suburb price for it.
Safety & Community
Let's be straight, because you're going to ask anyway. Redford is a working-class inner-ring suburb, and like all of them, the picture varies by pocket. The good news: the Redford Township Police Department reports a downward trend in crime, the township runs its own full-time police and fire departments, and it has operated a Neighborhood Watch program for over 40 years plus a partnership with the Ring camera network.
My advice is the same one I give every buyer. Don't judge a township, judge a street. I'll walk you block by block. Some streets feel like a Mayberry throwback, and I'll point you to those.
What gives Redford its backbone is how many residents grew up here. That multi-generational, neighborknows- neighbor stability is a quiet asset that holds property values steady, and it's something I factor into every recommendation I make on Redford Charter Township homes for sale.
Taxes & Cost of Living
This section saves people real money, so pay attention. Property taxes in Michigan are built on millage rates and your home's taxable value (which is roughly half the market value). Here are the actual 2025 combined millage rates for Redford Charter Township, by district.
What does that mean in dollars? On a $180,000 home you live in (homestead), with a taxable value around $90,000, you're looking at roughly $5,300 to $5,500 in year-one property taxes depending on district. Nonhomestead (a rental or second home) runs higher. Long-time owners pay less because Michigan's Proposal A caps how fast taxable value can rise each year, which is why some published "effective rate" figures look lower than a brand-new buyer's bill.
One thing I walk every buyer through is the real total monthly cost: not just the mortgage, but taxes, insurance, utilities, and any HOA. No surprises at closing. I run the exact numbers on any specific home before you write an offer. Every time.
Cost of living otherwise is below the national average. The median household income here is $69,414, and your housing dollar stretches further than almost anywhere else this close to Detroit. Most single-family Redford homes have no HOA, which keeps monthly carrying costs low. Utilities run through DTE Energy (gas and electric) and the township (water and sewer).
Michigan's state income tax is a flat 4.25%.
Healthcare & Essential Services
You've got real medical care right in and around the township. Corewell Health (formerly Beaumont/ Botsford) runs a care center at 15540 Beech Daly Road in Redford, with OB/GYN and rehabilitation services. Full hospitals sit close by: Corewell Health Farmington Hills Hospital (the old Botsford, about 4 miles), Trinity Health Livonia, and Ascension Providence in Southfield. Urgent care clinics, dental, vision, and veterinary offices line the main roads.
For township services, you've got the Charter Township of Redford offices, the Public Services Building, the Redford Township District Library, the post office, and the Department of Public Works, all locally run. The essentials are handled, and a major hospital is never far.
History & Heritage
Redford's name comes from the "red ford," a crossing of the Rouge River where the soil ran red. The area was organized in the 1820s, renamed from Pekin to Redford in 1833, and earned its charter township status in 1926. It grew alongside Detroit through the first half of the 20th century. The population peaked around 72,000 in 1970 and has settled into a stable mid-sized suburb since.
That history is why the housing stock is what it is: street after street of well-built postwar homes, churches and schools within walking distance, parks tucked into the neighborhoods. The folk musician Sufjan Stevens even wrote a song called "Redford" about his grandparents who lived here. The place leaves a mark on people.
That kind of continuity, generations of families staying put, is exactly what keeps Redford Charter Township real estate stable through every market cycle.
Climate & Seasons
Four real seasons. Summers are warm, topping out around 84°F, perfect for those Marquee concerts and park days. Winters are cold and snowy, with lows around 20°F and the usual southeast Michigan dusting. Spring and fall are the sweet spots, mild and green.
For real estate timing: spring is the busiest buying and selling season, summer stays strong, and the smart move for buyers is often late fall and winter, when competition thins out and motivated sellers negotiate. If you're flexible on timing, I'll help you use the calendar to your advantage when you shop homes for sale in Redford Charter Township MI.
Yes, we get winter. But a Michigan fall is worth the trade, and the housing here is built for the cold: full basements and forced-air heat.
Every Real Estate Scenario: Why The Perna Team Is Your Guide
Here's the thing. A house is a house, but your situation is unique. Over 8,000+ closed transactions, I've seen just about all of them. You're the hero of this story. I'm just the guide who's walked this trail a few thousand times. Here's how we help, grouped by what you're actually dealing with.
Buying Your First Home or Moving Up
Buying your first home in Redford Charter Township MI is the perfect on-ramp. Prices are gentle, so your mortgage is manageable. We'll walk you through down-payment assistance programs, conventional, FHA, VA, and USDA financing in plain English, get you pre-approved through our in-house mortgage team, and tell you exactly which bungalow is solid versus which one's hiding a bad roof. My ABR (Accredited Buyer's Representative) designation means buyer representation is something I trained specifically for. For moveup families, we time the buy and the sell so you're never stranded between two homes.
Selling at the Highest Price
Selling? My team's 99.1% list-to-sale ratio and ~14-day average days on market do the talking. We've got an in-house media team for professional photos, video, and drone, listing and closing coordinators so nothing falls through the cracks, and a marketing machine (social media, digital advertising, full MLS syndication) that puts your home in front of thousands. If you've had an expired listing that didn't sell, or you tried For Sale By Owner and the showings dried up, that's exactly the problem we fix. My GRI and CRS designations are the top training credentials in residential real estate, and you get all of it.
Luxury, Specialty & Historic Homes
Got a standout property, an oversized lot, or a vintage home with real character? I hold the CLHMS (Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist) and a Historic Home Expert designation. For luxury searches that spill into nearby communities, our luxury division goes to work. For Redford's older homes with original woodwork and craftsmanship, you need an agent who knows how to market the story, not just the square footage.
Life Transitions
Downsizing, divorce, an estate or probate sale, a job relocation out of state, a military PCS move. These are hard, and they deserve patience and discretion. My SRES (Seniors Real Estate Specialist) designation means I'm trained to guide older homeowners and families through the emotional and financial pieces with zero pressure.
Investment & Financial Strategy
Redford is an investor's quiet favorite. Cash-flowing rentals, fix-and-flips, BRRRR projects, 1031 exchanges, duplexes, value-add bungalows near the Detroit border. With 8,000+ transactions behind us, we know which streets rent well, which renovations actually pay off, and how to move fast when a deal pops. Plenty of Redford Charter Township homes for sale make excellent rentals, and we'll run the numbers cold before you commit.
Condos & Townhomes
Want low-maintenance living? The condo communities near 5 Mile and 7 Mile are great for first-timers and downsizers alike. We'll decode the HOA documents, the assessments, and the resale outlook before you sign anything.
Whatever your scenario, the search for homes for sale in Redford Charter Township MI gets a lot easier with a guide who's done it 8,000 times.

Don't take my word for it. Here's what people who've been through it say.
The Perna Team has earned thousands of five-star reviews across Google, Zillow, Realtor.com, and Facebook over 24+ years. Those reviews aren't about us, they're about outcomes: families who got the house, sellers who netted more than they expected, first-timers who finally got the keys.
(Real, verifiable reviews are published on our Google Business Profile, Zillow, and PernaTeam.com/reviews.)
The Perna Team Advantage
