East Troy
A neighborhood-level guide to the 48098 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.
East Troy's 48098 balances Troy schools and services with slightly friendlier pricing than the Somerset side. The John R corridor and the Rochester Hills border carry a practical retail layer, while interior subdivisions stay classic Troy: brick front colonials, three-car garages, cul-de-sacs.
For buyers who want everything Troy is known for at a modest discount, this is usually the first zip their search lands in.
Based on the Troy city-wide median of $345k and this ZIP's housing profile, homes in 48098 typically list and close around a $328k median, with most transactions landing between $288k and $367k. Condos and smaller ranches trade below that band; updated four-bedroom colonials and anything on a larger or water-adjacent lot trade above it.
