What Highland Park's homes mean for your projects
Based on Census data for the age of local housing.
Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes
The typical home in Highland Park was built around 1944. Painting, window, siding and remodeling work that disturbs paint in homes built before 1978 must follow the EPA lead-safe (RRP) rule. Ask any contractor for their RRP certification before work starts.
Older plumbing and sewer lines
66% of homes here were built before 1960, when cast iron drains, clay sewer laterals and galvanized supply pipe were standard. A sewer camera inspection before buying or remodeling is cheap insurance.
Wiring and electrical capacity
Homes of this age often have 60 or 100 amp service and older wiring. Adding a heat pump, EV charger or kitchen remodel usually needs an electrical panel check first.
Pre-war construction
46% of homes predate 1940. Expect plaster walls, balloon framing and possible asbestos in old pipe wrap or floor tile; test before demolition with a licensed asbestos contractor.
Michigan basements
Freeze-thaw cycles and clay soils make foundation cracks and wet basements common across Metro Detroit. Foundation and sump pump checks belong on every spring list.
