Commerce Township Real Estate Market

Homes for sale in the 48382 and 48390 zip codes fall in the Township of Commerce, Walled Lake, and Wolverine Lake. Up until the last 35 years, Commerce Michigan was considered "Up North" to most residents because of all the lakes, rolling hills, and parks that surround the community.

The Township of Commerce is 40 miles southeast of Detroit, just a 45-minute drive. Commerce Township borders on West Bloomfield, White Lake, Milford, Walled Lake, the Village of Wolverine Lake, Novi, Highland, Lyon Township, and Wixom.

In 1998, the M-5 expressway brought new life to the Commerce Township real estate market. For many years, when one would mention Commerce to homebuyers, they would always reply back that it was too far from the expressways. Then in 1998 a new stretch of the M-5 expressway opened up to 14 Mile Road, on the border between Novi and Commerce Township. The expressway is known by some locals as the "Haggerty Connector," referring to the two-lane Haggerty Road which parallels M-5 a half mile to the east. This brought highway access within minutes of Commerce community residents. In addition, a few years ago the M-5 expressway was brought north to Pontiac Trail. Currently they are working on bringing it another mile north to Oakley Park Road.

Commerce Township Michigan is home to approximately 34,000 residents, according to the last census done in 2000. The name "Commerce" was given to the township in hopes of it becoming a trading center. Now the Commerce neighborhood is known as the "Lakes Area." Anywhere you decide to live in Commerce Township will put you within a mile or closer to one of the many lakes. Most of the lakes are all-sports, with a few smaller lakes that don't allow motorized watercraft. The most popular all-sports lakes are Union Lake, Commerce Lake, Lower Straits Lake, Middle Straits Lake, Lake Sherwood, Proud Lake, & Wolverine Lake.

Commerce Township Historical Facts

Commerce was settled in 1825 by a German immigrant who built a log cabin near the Huron River. In the 1840s it was replaced by a farmhouse which still stands today and is known as Byers Homestead.

For the majority of its history, Commerce has been mostly empty with some farms dotting the landscape. While not too far from Detroit, Commerce used to be a place to get away. Its small inland lakes and peaceful seclusion provided boaters and hunters alike a chance to escape the city and enjoy some time in the quiet cottages nestled amongst the wooded area.

It was only very recently that this area really started to build up. Most of the homes, especially in the northern part of the city, are newer and next to small cottages and cabins. As the population increased, high schools, shopping centers, and professional services also moved in.
