Grosse Pointe Woods is a city in Wayne County in the U.S. state of Michigan.

It is part of the Grosse Pointe collection of cities and the only one without a waterfront on Lake St. Clair.

While initially settled over a century ago, much of the city in its current form was built in the middle of the 20th century, particularly around and just after World War II, distinguishing Grosse Pointe Woods from older portions of Grosse Pointe.

The city was originally incorporated as the Village of Lochmoor in 1927 from the last unincorporated portion of Grosse Pointe Township.

[5] The village annexed the Stanhope-Allard strip of land from what was then Gratiot Township in 1931.

[6] The village changed its name from Lochmoor to Grosse Pointe Woods in 1939, but didn't incorporate as a city until 1950.

[7] According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 3.25 square miles (8.42 km2), all land.

24.4% of all households were made up of individuals, and 12.7% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.

Most residents are zoned to Parcells Middle School in Grosse Pointe Woods, while some areas to the southwest are zoned to Brownell Middle School in Grosse Pointe Farms.
