Buyer Area Research
Area Overview
Howell is located in Livingston County in southeast Michigan. Howell Township is a distinct local jurisdiction surrounding portions of the Howell area; the U.S. Census Bureau estimated the township population at 8,606 in July 2025, compared with 7,893 at the 2020 Census. Livingston County’s estimated population was 197,315 in July 2025.
Howell Township describes the community as combining rural character and residential neighborhoods with access to shopping, dining, and recreation. The broader Howell area is served by Howell Public Schools and Howell Area Parks & Recreation Authority programs.

Michigan State Police Criminal Justice Information Center data for 2024 reported 12 violent-crime offenses and 66 property-crime offenses in the City of Howell jurisdiction. The reported violent-crime total consisted of 1 murder, 3 rape offenses, no robberies, and 8 aggravated assaults. Property crime included 4 burglaries, 53 larceny offenses, and 9 motor-vehicle thefts.
These figures are jurisdiction-level reported crime counts for 2024 and should not be interpreted as statistics for this individual property or its immediate surroundings.
Schools & Education
Howell Public Schools operates elementary, middle, and high schools serving the Howell area. Nearby district facilities listed by the district include Hutchings Elementary in Howell, Highlander Way Middle, Parker Middle, and Howell High School. School proximity does not by itself establish enrollment assignment for a specific residence, so prospective buyers should confirm the current attendance boundary directly with the district.
The district also provides career preparation, STEM education, advanced-placement coursework, robotics, construction-trades programming, health occupations, and other career-focused opportunities.
Healthcare & Hospitals
Trinity Health Livingston is the full-service hospital serving Livingston County. In April 2026, Trinity Health moved hospital operations from the former Howell campus to a new campus at 7555 Grand River Avenue in Brighton. The hospital is licensed for 56 beds and operates a 24-hour emergency department.
Howell also has community pharmacy and retail health-service options, including CVS locations in Howell and pharmacy services at the Howell Kroger.

Prospective buyers can use those tools to verify current providers, technologies, and advertised speeds at the exact property address.
Development & Planning
Local planning activity continues in the Howell area. Howell Township currently publishes zoning, planning, public-hearing, and infrastructure notices through its municipal website. As of 2026, the township has also reported road and bridge work, including rehabilitation of West Marr Road over the South Branch Shiawassee River between Byron and Crandall Roads, with construction scheduled from July 13 through November 13, 2026.
Other 2026 planning activity in the surrounding Howell area includes a public-hearing proposal in Genoa Charter Township concerning an amendment to the Lorentzen Planned Unit Development near the Meijer property at 3883 Grand River, involving a proposed multi-tenant commercial building with a restaurant and drive-through. The proposal is separate from this property and should not be interpreted as a planned improvement to 3141 Faussett Rd.
