Mid-Century Palm Spring Lifestyle
Guest rating: 4.3 / 5
Overview
Mid-Century Palm Spring Lifestyle is a preserved original 1950s ranch-style house in Auburn Hills, built with quality period materials and given an interior refresh by designers known from HGTV programming. The property offers peaceful, well-kept landscaping in both the front and back yards, creating a calm residential retreat rather than a conventional hotel setting. It's positioned as a comfortable escape for families and traveling workers alike.
Living Spaces & Amenities
The home includes a full kitchen with oven, stove, and microwave, plus a washer for longer stays, air conditioning, heating, and a smoke-free environment throughout. Outdoor living is a highlight, with a private patio, balcony, fireplace, and outdoor grill for relaxing or entertaining. A fitness center, free Wi-Fi, cable TV, and free parking round out the practical comforts, and a crib is available for guests traveling with infants.
Location & Surroundings
The property sits within walking distance of a yoga studio, coffee house, and workout gym, and is just steps from Pizzanos Pizza and Grinderz and two nearby bus stops (Greenfield & Judson and 13 Mile & Fairfax). It's about five minutes from the upscale communities of Birmingham and Royal Oak, ten minutes from Ferndale, and roughly five minutes from Beaumont Hospital, one of Michigan's largest medical centers. Detroit's downtown attractions -- including the Detroit Zoo, DIA, MoCAD, the Henry Ford Museum, Motown Museum, and Cranbrook Art Institute -- are within a 10-30 minute drive, and Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport is about 30 minutes away.
Dining & Shopping Nearby
A wide range of restaurants sit within a five-to-fifteen-minute drive, spanning Middle Eastern, Armenian, barbecue, seafood, pizza, and American cuisine, including Super Crab, Lavash Grill And Bakery, Arkins Sweet BBQ Pit, and Beverly Hills Grill. Somerset Mall, described as the Midwest's most luxury shopping destination, is also within easy driving distance.
Best for
This property suits families seeking a home-like, spacious retreat with a full kitchen, laundry, crib, and private outdoor patio/grill area, as well as remote or traveling workers who need reliable Wi-Fi, a peaceful setting, and proximity to Beaumont Hospital and Detroit-area business hubs. Its walkable access to a coffee house, yoga studio, and gym also appeals to wellness-minded travelers.
Travel tips
A car is recommended for reaching most restaurants, museums, and Somerset Mall, though two bus stops (Greenfield & Judson and 13 Mile & Fairfax) are within a short walk for local transit. Troy train station is about 3.4km away, and Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport is roughly a 30-minute drive, so plan airport transfers accordingly. For dining, Pizzanos Pizza and Grinderz is essentially next door, while a broader selection of restaurants is a five-to-fifteen-minute drive.
