Auburn Hills is a welcoming neighborhood located on the north east side of Grand Rapids. This small neighborhood’s streets are lined with beautiful mature trees and mid to late 20th century homes.

The area’s history is rich. Founded in the 1950's by four African-American men, Auburn Hills broke the housing color barrier in Grand Rapids. These men, in hopes of finding a new location to call home, set out to develop twenty acres of land and succeeded in creating a thriving and diverse place to live.

Enjoy the undisturbed beauty of nature while living in Auburn Hills…

There are a total of three streets with no outlet which keeps the traffic to a minimum and makes it a safe place for walking or riding your bike. You can also enjoy the outdoors at one of many nearby parks.

Huff Park spans over eighty acres and is a great location for outdoor activities such as cross-country skiing, or a game of catch at the baseball diamond. This park is also home to many walking and biking trails that run through a nature area that hasn't been developed.

Another undeveloped nature area nearby is Ball Perkins Park which has its own community garden for people to enjoy. This plot of land lets residents enjoy the mostly undisturbed beauty of nature while living in the city.

Just down the street from the Auburn Hills neighborhood is the Wellspring Preparatory High School which is excellent for academics. Ranked ten out of ten stars academically, the school also excels in arts, music, and sports programs.
