About Wayne County  
   

Harper Woods

Located in the northeast part of Wayne County between Detroit and the Grosse Pointes, Harper Woods is the location of the Eastland Shopping Center which provides Woods residents as well as neighboring communities with easy access to dozens of retail shops and stores.

Other than this regional shopping center, and some adjacent strip commercial development, the community is a quiet residential suburb, perfect in which to raise a family with modest, yet beautiful high quality homes.

The Interstate 94 Freeway traverses the city north to south providing access to the region.

Eight Mile Road [M-102] forms its northern border with Macomb County. It has no industries or rail access.
