Why People Move to Shelby Township

Shelby Charter Township is home to nearly 80,000 people in the northwest corner of Macomb County, bordering Oakland County. It has grown steadily for decades, so you will find everything from established brick ranches and colonials to newer subdivisions and luxury homes on larger lots.

What buyers tell me they like most:

• Parks and green space, including River Bends Park along the Clinton River and part of Stony Creek Metropark, with beaches, trails, golf, and a nature center
• Quick access to M-53 (Van Dyke), Hall Road (M-59), and the Oakland County job centers in Troy, Rochester Hills, and Auburn Hills
• Shopping and dining along Hall Road and Van Dyke
• A wide mix of home styles and price points, from first homes to move up and luxury homes
• Local history like the Packard Proving Grounds, a National Register historic site

Schools in Shelby Township

Most of Shelby Township is served by Utica Community Schools, and a small part of the township is zoned to Romeo Community Schools. Because district lines do not always follow the mile roads, I confirm the assigned schools for every home my buyers look at, and I recommend checking directly with the district before you write an offer.

Shelby Township Neighborhoods and Home Styles

Shelby Township addresses use ZIP codes 48315, 48316, and 48317, and some homes carry a Utica mailing address. Older neighborhoods closer to Utica and Van Dyke tend to have ranches and colonials on mature lots. Farther north and west you will find newer subdivisions, larger colonials, and custom homes. Neighborhoods like Shelby Forest are popular with buyers who want newer construction close to parks and M-53.

Selling a Home in Shelby Township

Because Shelby Township has so many different neighborhoods and price ranges, a township wide average does not tell you what your home is worth. I price your home against the recent sales it will actually compete with: same area, similar age, similar size, and similar updates.

Before I got into real estate, I worked in home construction with my dad. I use that background to walk your home with you and point out which updates are worth doing before you list and which ones buyers will not pay for. Our team sells more than 80 homes a year across Macomb County.
