Hamtramck is compact enough that a single zip — 48212 — covers the entire 2.1-square-mile city, one of the most culturally rich in America. Jos. Campau's strip of Yemeni, Bengali, and Eastern European businesses continues a century-long tradition of immigrant entrepreneurship.
Housing is dense and characterful: storybook colonials, bungalows, and multi-family flats on narrow lots. Entry prices are among the metro's lowest for a walkable city, which is why artists and first-time buyers keep rediscovering it.
Based on the Hamtramck city-wide median of $130k and this ZIP's housing profile, homes in 48212 typically list and close around a $130k median, with most transactions landing between $114k and $146k.
