Elm Gardens is essentially a single cul-de-sac with a few homes alongside it on a corner — a quiet pocket near Eastern Michigan University that barely registers as a named area, but the homes here are well-built interwar stock that rarely comes to market.⁴ All of the housing dates to between 1920 and 1953, and homes range from around 940 to 2,730 square feet on modest lots of about a tenth to a third of an acre.¹
