Architecture Defined by Character and Comfort
Most of the properties youβll find in Harmony Village were built between the 1940s and 1960s, a time when Detroitβs signature brick craftsmanship was on full display in the form of sturdy ranches, colonials, and bungalows with features like huge front windows, original wood flooring, and large front porches.
It’s the kind of place where youβll find devoted long-time residents and newcomers alike β people who take great pride in maintaining not just their own homes, but the communityβs overall curbside appeal β as seen in Harmony Village’s tidy front lawns, newly rehabilitated properties, and the front porches decorated for every season.
These are blocks where neighbors notice when someone moves in or out β blocks where youβll find residents conversing over fence lines, trading favors, swapping barbecue recipes, and elders watching after the youth just like the good old days.
Churches also play a pivotal social role in the community, especially the well-known Harmony Village Community Church from which the neighborhood gets its name β a major community life anchor thanks to its youth mentorship programs, extracurricular activities, and lively seasonal events.
Amenities and Recreation Right Within Reach

- The Livernois βAvenue of Fashionβ for black-owned businesses, boutiques, dining, and nightlife such as Bakers Keyboard Lounge, the oldest jazz lounge in the world
- Palmer Park for sports fields, playgrounds, and outdoor recreation

As well as major roads like Lodge and Six Mile (McNichols) for quick access into downtown and nearby suburbs for grocery shopping and larger chain stores.
Looking Forwardβ¦
