North Royal Oak
A neighborhood-level guide to the 48073 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.
North Royal Oak's 48073 quiets down from the downtown buzz without giving up the address: wide residential streets, Royal Oak Neighborhood Schools, and the Troy border's practical retail at the north end. Housing is a tidy mix of brick ranches and colonials with a growing infill contingent.
Buyers who want the Royal Oak brand with slightly more house per dollar start their search on this side of 13 Mile.
Based on the Royal Oak city-wide median of $295k and this ZIP's housing profile, homes in 48073 typically list and close around a $286k median, with most transactions landing between $252k and $320k. Condos and smaller ranches trade below that band; updated four-bedroom colonials and anything on a larger or water-adjacent lot trade above it.
