ZIP Code 48236 · Wayne County · Michigan
Grosse Pointe Farms · Woods · Shores
A neighborhood-level guide to the 48236 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.
The 48236 zip spans Farms, Woods, and Shores — the northern Pointes where lots widen, gates appear, and the Edsel & Eleanor Ford House anchors 4.5 miles of Lake St. Clair frontage. Farms' 'the hill' business district and Woods' neighborhood retail keep daily life inside the community.
Estate-scale inventory dominates, but the zip also holds 1960s-70s lake-adjacent colonials at relative value. For buyers seeking waterfront prestige with suburban privacy, this is the end of the search.
Based on the Grosse Pointe city-wide median of $395k and this ZIP's housing profile, homes in 48236 typically list and close around a $533k median, with most transactions landing between $469k and $597k. Condos and smaller ranches trade below that band; updated four-bedroom colonials and anything on a larger or water-adjacent lot trade above it.
