Berkley
Community-First Living on the Woodward Corridor
Berkley is a beloved small city along Oakland County’s Woodward Corridor, known for its vibrant downtown, top-rated schools, and strong community spirit — highlighted by its annual classic car parade.
Living in Berkley
Berkley’s downtown stretches along 12 Mile Road between Greenfield and Coolidge, offering an active lineup of independent restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and boutiques within easy walking distance of most of the city’s residential neighborhoods. It is the kind of commercial street that builds community identity — businesses owned by people who live nearby, serving people who walk over.
The housing stock runs primarily mid-century single-family homes — well-maintained bungalows, colonials, and Cape Cods that attract first-time buyers, young families, and move-up buyers in equal measure. Berkley’s price points tend to offer better value per square foot than adjacent Royal Oak and Huntington Woods, making it a destination for buyers who have done their research across the corridor.
Berkley School District consistently ranks among the top school districts in Michigan — rated A+ by Niche and perennially on Newsweek and Washington Post lists of the state’s most challenging public high schools. Combined with the city’s community amenities and its position one block from Woodward Avenue and the broader Oakland County employment corridor, Berkley delivers a full value proposition that is easy to underestimate until you look closely.
