Overview
Join us for the 2026 University District Home Tour!
This year's event offers tours inside six of Detroit’s most well-kept homes with unique decor and touches, many from the Art Deco era. If you love historic houses, Detroit architecture or are looking for ideas on how to tastefully preserve and renovate your home, this is the day for you!
You will see period features up close, carefully preserved or restored by homeowners, including original hardwood floors, stained glass windows, Pewabic and Flint Faience tile, grand foyers, original and renovated kitchens and baths, crystal chandeliers, decorative original plaster crown moldings, and impressive fireplaces.
Walk, bike, or drive to tour the neighborhood and see the homes. We invite you to enjoy our friendly and inclusive atmosphere and meet some of the people that make the University District such a vibrant place to live.
