Grosse Pointe Farms is a city in Wayne County in the U.S. state of Michigan.
Grosse Pointe Farms was originally incorporated as a village in 1893 and again as a city in 1949.
The Farms has a more varied topography and streetscape than the other southern Grosse Pointes.
While Grosse Pointe and Grosse Pointe Park are built on a standard street grid and are basically flat, Grosse Pointe Farms is partially built on the same grid flowing out of Detroit, but also features districts with irregular, curving street paths.
The cityscape varies widely, with large sections of old homes ranging from bungalows to mansions, and a few newer sections with ranch houses or luxury homes built on subdivided estates.
The Farms has a downtown on Kercheval Avenue combining historic buildings with newer, neo-traditional storefronts.
23.0% of all households were made up of individuals, and 12.3% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.
