Centerline is so called because when it was first drawn up it was in the dead center of the greater Detroit area. Today, it is a hub of auto industry, with several plants located right in the industrial sector of town.

With easy access to I96, I696, and !75, Centerline is convenient for people who need to commute to all points of the compass. This is a small city with big ambitions! And residents who love their city. Once you move here, it is rare that you move away.

Schools are well established, and offer excellent education. The student-teacher ratio is good and allows for a lot of one-on-one interaction, and learning opportunities. Field trips include excursions to the famed Greenfield Village, the Henry Ford Museum, the Henry Ford Estate, and Toledo Zoo, as well as the newly refurbished Detroit Zoo.

Homes are well established, many of them are ranch homes built in the 1940's and 1950's - sturdy brick with fine detail in the brick work and in the designs. They have increased in value dramatically in the last decade or so, and now the average 1,200 square foot home sells anywhere from $139,000 to $189,000 depending on features. Sub-divisions are well maintained, and there is a definite sense of community, as you will see neighbor helping neighbor, both summer and winter, with routine yard work.

This is a well-established neighborhood with many professional people making their home here. Excellent public and private schools, as well as a great selection of universities make Centerline one of the most desirable suburbs of Detroit
