Eastpointe, Michigan

Eastpointe — formerly known as East Detroit — is a small, dense Macomb County city bordering Grosse Pointe Woods to the south and Roseville to the north, with a housing stock consisting almost entirely of 1940s and 1950s brick bungalows and ranches. These homes are prized for their solid construction, manageable size, and relatively affordable price points, but buyers should enter any Eastpointe transaction with a clear understanding of what 75-plus years of wear looks like on a home's major systems.

Nearly every home in Eastpointe was built during an era when knob-and-tube wiring, 60-amp electrical service, galvanized supply plumbing, and cast-iron drain lines were standard. These systems were appropriate for their time and built to last — but their time has largely passed. An experienced inspector will document their current condition accurately and help buyers understand the realistic cost of updating them.

Many Eastpointe homes have been improved, renovated, or expanded by various owners over the decades, resulting in a patchwork of older original construction and newer modifications. Mixing eras of construction can create mismatched systems, improper connections, and code-deficient work that may not be obvious without a thorough inspection.
