Why I Love Downtown Clawson, Michigan

By Erin Hertzog | Michigan Living Realty | Good Company Realty

Great restaurants, small-town charm, and free parking? Downtown Clawson, Michigan, knows the way to my heart.

As a Metro Detroit Realtor, I pay attention to what makes a community enjoyable beyond the house itself. Clawson is one of my favorites because it makes everyday outings feel easy.

Small-Town Charm With Room to Breathe

Downtown Clawson has a quaint, relaxed feel that I love. In my experience, it has enough activity to keep things interesting without feeling overly crowded. It’s the kind of place where grabbing dinner can turn into a leisurely stroll.

The downtown district centers around Main Street and 14 Mile Road, with restaurants and independent shops within a few walkable blocks.

Plenty to Eat—and my Personal Favorite

There’s no shortage of dining choices, but Whiskey Taco Foxtrot tops my personal list. Located at 28 South Main Street, it serves tacos and craft cocktails right downtown. Their house margarita will not disappoint even the pickiest margarita lover! 

If you ask me where to eat in Clawson, there’s a very good chance my answer involves tacos.

Free Parking and a Walkable Downtown

Free parking is one of my favorite Clawson perks. It makes stopping for dinner or browsing local businesses feel that much simpler. Downtown has municipal lots throughout the district, so you can park and explore on foot—just check posted restrictions.

Personally, I’d rather spend my money on dinner than parking.

Convenient to Everyday Life

Clawson also puts you close to major highways and surrounding shopping areas. That combination of a small downtown and everyday convenience is a big part of its appeal.

When you’re buying a home, those details matter. You’re choosing your commute, your errands, and your future favorite dinner spot, too.
