Morgan Estates offering gated, luxury living on the riverfront

The east riverfront continues to see the development of exclusive communities that are predicated on access to the water. Morgan Waterfront Estates is a gated community of 43 homes and 16 condominiums that are priced up to $2.2 million.

There are eight different home styles available that range in size from 3,500 to 7,000 square feet and in price from $700,000 to $2.2 million. The names of the models are either Detroit-centric, suc as The Hudson and The Penobscot, or are maritime references like The St. Clair and The St. Lawrence.

The homes have full brick exteriors and three or four car garages as well as premium amenities like stainless steel appliances, granite counter tops and hardwood and marble floors.

As for the condominiums, there are two floor plans that have two bedrooms and two that offer three bedrooms. They are all single floor layouts, and range in price from $228,000 to $500,000. The smallest unit is 1,315 square feet and the largest measures in at 1,810.

So far, three condominiums and 17 homes are sold, according to sales director Kim Hardy. "They like the gated community, they like the amenities and they like the water access," she says. "These homes are something like you've never had in the city of Detroit: million dollar homes that are brand-new."

Morgan Waterfront Estates is located south of Freud and west of Lycaste. Its sales office is open seven days a week from noon to 6 p.m. and can be reached at 313-822-9740.
