Why Are Houses in Detroit Still So Affordable?

February 18, 2026

A Stylish Turf designed project in the Jefferson Chalmers neighborhood, Detroit

Detroit remains accessible compared to most major cities. But affordability requires context.

Through Stylish Turf, Michael helps buyers plan realistically — and coordinates lenders, inspectors, and contractors to build a responsible team.

Affordable should still mean stable and well-executed.
