Northville is considered a higher-end real estate market in Western Wayne County, with a large middle class, and the highest property values among its neighbors.

The Northville community has a wide array of housing architecture and home styles, from rambling farm houses on unpaved roads, to traditional neighborhoods, newer-built condominiums and older Victorian charmers throughout the downtown area. Housing in the city tends to be newer construction, with as much as 80% of the homes in the township having been built more recently than 1970 and more than half since 1980.

Nestled in the suburbs of Detroit, Northville boasts beautiful Main Street-style architecture, parks with trails and trees that stretch for miles, and a sense of community that's inviting to all. Main Street is within walking distance of most homes and has a variety of bars, restaurants and those Mom & Pop Shoppes that give a city its personality. Who knows, you may even run into a Red Wing or a Tiger as many local sports heroes make this area their home.

Northville has been home to many prominent businesses throughout the year. Globe Furniture Factory thrived in the community during the mid-19th century, and Henry Ford had his Valve Plant located in Northville during the 1920s and 1930s.

Many of Northville's early residents have street names throughout town! These include Rufus Thayer Jr. (Thayer Boulevard), Joseph Yerkes (Yerkes Street), Daniel & Samuel Cady (Cady Street), William Dunlap (Dunlap Street), as well as many other settlers.
