Area Guide
Detroit’s calm, rural oasis just minutes from relaxing beaches
Lenox is a small, rural town northeast of Detroit. This area consists mainly of residential areas, golf course, farmland, and ranches. Maintaining a small town feel, most of the stores and restaurants are along Main Street. You can even rent or buy DVDs, Blu-ray discs, and video games from an old-school video store. Lenox is a quaint community that values nature and preservation. Residents spend their free time enjoying the natural areas abundant in town like the Wetzel State Recreation Area, a park great for hunting, snowmobiling, hiking, and skiing.
Conveniently, Lenox is only 15 minutes away from the beautiful beaches found at Lake St. Clair and Anchor Bay. Visit Walter & Mary Burke Park, a popular beachfront park with a playground and piers. Lenox is perfect for renters looking for an affordable apartment in an old-fashioned yet charming town, but with Detroit only a few miles away, a weekend trip to the city is also an option.
