Bloomfield Hills is the richest suburb of Detroit and is always in the top 5 wealthiest cities in the U.S. It has over 1,000 households, and 39% of homes are worth more than $1 million. People in Bloomfield Hills make a median income of $170,790 per household.

Detroit's 31,000-plus-square-foot Bishop Mansion listed last May for nearly $9 million, making the 12-bedroom, 11-bathroom estate the most expensive listing in the city. What's more, its massive footprint also makes it Detroit's largest home.

The home of physicians, politicians, business owners, artists, executives and their families, the Palmer Woods neighborhood has attracted some of Detroit's most prominent citizens. Charles W. Burton himself made his home in the neighborhood.
