The Red Run Subdivision of Royal Oak Michigan is located within a one mile square area between twelve mile and thirteen mile that runs from Rochester Rd. to Campbell Ave. It gets its name from the Red Run Golf Club located nearly within the center of the community. Just north of the Red Run Golf Club is a park that is another great plus to what this subdivision has to offer.
While many residents may belong to the Red Run Golf Club, this is not what primarily draws people to the subdivision. The homes consist mostly of bungalows and ranches averaging between 1000 and 1200 square feet built in the 1950s. A neighborhood with large trees, sidewalks and a feeling of community appeals to people while remaining very affordable. When I first became a Realtor, my owner spoke of this neighborhood with a certain distinction that I grew to understand and appreciate when I sold my first home there.
My buyers were referred to me from a friend and they were very clear from the start that they wanted to live in the Red Run area. They didn’t want to look anywhere else because it was centrally located between each of their places of employment. It is located near two major expressways and a mile away from downtown Royal Oak. I showed them six homes in the Red Run Sub and they put an offer on a home that very same day.

Soon after, two more clients purchased homes in Red Run. One of my buyers already lived there and wanted a larger home. He was also a member of the Red Run Golf Club. While we looked in other areas of Royal Oak and Beverly Hills, they chose a home almost walking distance to the Golf Club. Their daughter swam there in the summers, they ate in the restaurant and enjoyed the family activities like yearly fire works. When we closed on the home, the listing agent wore a shirt with the Red Run Golf Club crest and my client noticed it immediately.
This is such an appealing area of Royal Oak that in the last six months 12 homes sold and five of them in June and July – only one was a foreclosure. There are currently 24 listings ranging from $80,000 to $235,000 with an average of $169,500. This is excluding the one foreclosure and about three new builds unique to the community over $300,000. Excluding one foreclosure and one home over $400,000, the average sale price in the past six months was $135,500.
