Downtown

On the rise

Welcome to the heart of Auburn Hills—an area that’s redefining what it means to be a modern, vibrant community. Once a bustling manufacturing hub powered by the mills along the Clinton River, our downtown has evolved into a lively, family-friendly destination that offers something for everyone. As a forward-thinking district on the rise, Downtown Auburn Hills is becoming a recreation and social district in our region.

Here, you’ll find a perfect mix of nature and modernity. Enjoy intimate access to Riverside Park, the Clinton River, and the scenic Clinton River Trail—ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, families, and professionals alike. Our downtown and surrounding neighborhoods are clean, safe and walkable – with convenient access to an enjoyable blend of nature, restaurants and shopping.

Recent investments, including over $18 million in streetscape and infrastructure improvements since 2002, have propelled Downtown Auburn Hills into a thriving hub of activity. New developments like the Webster, the MiL, the Jordan, and Fountain Circle are enhancing our community’s charm, providing residents with vibrant spaces to live, work, and play.

Our downtown hosts an array of exciting community events—Summerfest, Paddlepalooza, Spooktacular, and the Friday Nights Downtown Music Series—alongside a diverse selection of locally-owned businesses and restaurants. As we continue to grow and evolve, Downtown Auburn Hills is the place to be, offering a blend of natural beauty, engaging activities, and a welcoming atmosphere.
