University District Community Association

Historic Home Tour
2026-09-12 10:00 - 17:00 (America/Detroit)
The biennial University District Community Association (UDCA) Historic Home Tour is set for Saturday, September 12th.
The UDCA Historic Home Tour is a favorite neighborhood tradition—a chance to share the beauty, history, and personality of our homes with visitors from across Detroit and the metro area. It’s also one of UDCA’s primary fundraisers, supporting community programs, events, neighborhood beautification, preservation efforts, and more.

Join us for tours inside six of Detroit’s most well-kept homes with unique decor and touches, many from the Art Deco era. If you love historic houses or are looking for ideas on how to tastefully preserve and renovate your home, this is the day for you!
You will see period features up close, carefully preserved or restored by homeowners, including original hardwood floors, stained glass windows, Pewabic and Flint Faience tile, grand foyers, original and renovated kitchens and baths, crystal chandeliers, decorative original plaster crown moldings, and impressive fireplaces.
Walk, bike, or drive to tour the neighborhood and see the homes. We invite you to enjoy our friendly and inclusive atmosphere and meet some of the people that make the University District such a vibrant place to live.
People of all ages and abilities are welcome to attend the Home Tour. Inside the homes, children who can walk must be supervised closely by an adult. For children who don’t walk, they will need to be carried. Most homes have stairs that cannot be easily navigated with strollers. This almost 100-year old neighborhood has some uneven sidewalks, and not all of the homes on the tour have handrails on outdoor stairs and landings. Due to the standards of construction in the 1920s and 1930s, most interior doorways are not wide enough for wheelchairs to get through.

We hope to see you there!
Please note:

Tickets purchased are fully refundable until 48 hours before the event.
Children 3 and under are free to attend.
The event will take place rain or shine.
