Madison Heights (entire city)
A neighborhood-level guide to the 48071 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.
Madison Heights is compact enough that 48071 covers essentially the whole 1.4-square-mile city. It's the Oakland County value play: mid-century ranches and bungalows at prices well below neighboring Royal Oak and Troy, with I-696 putting the entire metro within a half-hour.
The city's small-lot grid has become a favorite for buyers priced out of Royal Oak who want the same location advantages — including a short drive to the Detroit Zoo and Royal Oak's downtown.
Based on the Madison Heights city-wide median of $165k and this ZIP's housing profile, homes in 48071 typically list and close around a $165k median, with most transactions landing between $145k and $185k.
