We see a lot of the most blighted areas, but out of curiosity: what's the best neighborhood inside Detroit city limits?

- rmason 12y agoThere are probably seven or eight nice neighborhoods in Detroit. If I was to pick two it would be Indian Village or Palmer Park which both have their own private security 24 hours a day. Big well kept houses with narrow streets. A few more better than average would be downtown, Corktown, N. Rosedale, S. Rosedale (where I grew up)and Sherwood Forest. I tell people to think of Detroit not as a big monolith but as a series of villages, some are OK to visit and others are to be avoided at all costs.
- mklim 12y agoMidtown is doing well now as well. Lived there for three years and just visited again for the first time in 6 months or so for Noel Night. I saw a handful of businesses there that had all been established since the time I moved out. Lots of stuff to do, and it's pretty safe. Response time from the WSUPD is just a couple minutes, and they take calls for a few mile radius outside WSU's campus. http://www.livemidtown.org/ http://www.livemidtown.org/ is a decent marketing site with more info on it.
- ianbicking 12y agoIt's interesting that Indian Village, Palmer Park, and Midtown all benefit from a police force alternative to Detroit PD. I wonder if there are other services like this? I would assume private schooling would be common, but what about things like public works?
