ZIP Code 48017 · Oakland County · Michigan
Clawson (entire city)
A neighborhood-level guide to the 48017 zip code: housing stock, price expectations, and what daily life is actually like here — from a licensed Michigan agent who works this area every week.
Clawson's 48017 covers the entire 2.2-square-mile 'donut city' surrounded by Troy and Royal Oak — and its downtown out-performs its size with a main street of independent restaurants and shops that locals defend fiercely. Housing is small-lot bungalows and colonials, kept immaculate by a stable owner population.
Buyers get Troy-adjacent convenience and Clawson's own well-regarded schools at a price point between its bigger neighbors. Inventory is scarce; patience and a ready mortgage pre-approval are the winning strategy.
Based on the Clawson city-wide median of $250k and this ZIP's housing profile, homes in 48017 typically list and close around a $250k median, with most transactions landing between $220k and $280k. Condos and smaller ranches trade below that band; updated four-bedroom colonials and anything on a larger or water-adjacent lot trade above it.
