The Detroit Bahá'í Center is located at 19711 Greenfield Road in Detroit. It is 3 blocks north of Seven Mile Road on the west side of Greenfield. It is located very close to the intersections of Eight Mile, Greenfield, and the Lodge Freeway/Northwestern Highway, making it easily accessible from all around the area. It opened in July 1999, after moving from its former location on James Couzens between Outer Drive and McNichols. It was formally dedicated on April 9, 2000.
