Welcome to Palmer Woods, a Detroit neighborhood filled with harmony, diversity and warmth: multicultural residents, architectural treasures, and natural beauty in a wooded, urban setting. Our historic enclave of about 300 homes is nestled west of Woodward Avenue and north of Seven Mile Road in Detroit, Michigan.

On this site, learn about our community: the Palmer Woods Association, our history, services available to our neighborhood, news, events and more.

Visit our quiet, winding streets and tree-lined sidewalks, bordered by magnificent Tudor Revival, Neo-Georgian, Mediterranean, Modern and Craftsman homes designed by architectural legends such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Minoru Yamasaki, Albert Kahn, Maginnis & Walsh, C. Howard Crane, Richard H. Marr and others.

Enjoy our neighborhood gatherings—block club parties, concerts, estate sales, home tours, and planting projects, as well as informal get-togethers for bike rides, walks, gardening, and discussion groups.

Palmer Woods: a garden of creative and vibrant energy and home to doctors, writers, artists, musicians, lawyers, judges, educators, business owners, union members, students, innovators, leaders and professionals from all walks of life.  Also home to multitudes of dogs and cats, as well as cardinals, gold finches, blue jays, squirrels, raccoons, and a colorful array of wildlife.

Palmer Woods Music in Homes, and its community partner the Creative Arts Collective, now has special concerts for children! On our May 9 jazz concert with the Spencer Barefield Trio, we welcomed students from Cass Tech, Barbara Jordan School, Sphinx Prep at WSU, Palmer Woods, and elsewhere to listen to music and ask questions.
Our next free children's concert featured violinist Jannina Barefield, violist Jason Amos and bassist John-Paul Norpoth on Saturday, June 20 at 3pm. For more information email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
