Hines Park and Rouge Park, and a link that extends to the Detroit River.

The county’s parks plan was drafted in 2022 to assess the condition and needs of existing parks and create a funding strategy for improvements in the future. The county considered feedback from 272 park users during the planning process in 2022, including a survey distributed on social media and at least one public hearing. Most of the responses were from residents in Livonia and Northville, while nine were from residents living in a Detroit ZIP code.Over half of the county’s park system surrounds Hines Drive, a 17-mile stretch of road that runs from Northville to Dearborn Heights just west of Rouge Park with 24 recreation areas scattered throughout the park.

Perceptions of second home markets in 2024, with second homes making up more than 33% of properties compared to primary homes. Following the pandemic-induced exodus, the city is experiencing a resurgence as buyers return to invest in luxury urban properties for occasional use or as part of their likely growing real estate portfolios. Legacy destinations maintain popularity When most people think of luxury vacation home markets, their minds go to places frequented by Hollywood moguls, presidential families, and the who’s who. Markets like Cape Cod (Barnstable County, Massachusetts), home to the Kennedy Compound—also known as the "Summer White House"; Newport, Rhode Island; Maui, Hawaii; and Naples (Collier County, Florida), continue to dominate the second home market. These destinations are steeped in tradition, offering timeless vacation spots with strong cultural or natural appeal. And to no surprise: Maui and Newport counties are also in the top five of priciest vacation homes with averages sitting near $1,569,353 in Maui and $1,577,353 in Newport. Washington County, Rhode Island, is similarly renowned for its charming towns, including Block Island, Narragansett, and Watch Hill—home to Taylor Swift's iconic beachfront mansion and where NFL running back Christian McCaffrey married in 2024. National parks and scenic, adventure-focused towns attract vacationers Counties like Deschutes (Bend, Oregon), Coconino (Flagstaff, AZ), Buncombe (Asheville, North Carolina), Washington (St. George, Utah), Gallatin County (Bozeman, Montana) share a common appeal rooted in their proximity to outdoor recreation, natural beauty, and laid-back lifestyles. These markets attract buyers seeking a blend of adventure and tranquility, often tied to the growing trend of prioritizing wellness and work-life balance. Coconino County, Arizona, with its county seat in the beautiful mountain town of Flagstaff, is surrounded by the Coconino National Forest and the world's largest contiguous ponderosa pine forest. The county is also home to iconic destinations such as the Grand Canyon and Antelope Canyon. Washington County, Utah, made Pacaso’s top In Montana's Gallatin County vacation home real estate is north of $1.3 million, likely due to its proximity to Yellowstone National Park. Southern hospitality calls families “home” Beaufort County, home to Hilton Head, and Charleston County, home to Charleston, highlight the growing allure of the Carolinas for second home buyers. These areas offer coastal charm, Southern hospitality, and increasing luxury property options, making them prime choices for affluent buyers. “This data comes as no surprise to us at Pacaso,” said Austin Allison, CEO of Pacaso. “Hilton Head was the first East Coast vacation home market where we introduced co-ownership. Our current owners and buyers also adore the Charleston barrier islands, and in response to the demand, we’ve just introduced another stunning home on the beautiful Kiawah Island, ‘Palmetto Cove.’” Methodology Pacaso identified the top U.S. luxury second home markets by selecting 20 counties with the highest index scores, determined by analyzing key metrics such as the proportion of second homes to primary homes and growth trends in second home rate locks and prices from 2023 to 2024.
