Neighborhoods in Detroit, Michigan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The article provides a brief overview of some of the many neighborhoods and historic districts in Detroit, Michigan:
[edit] Neighborhoods
[edit] Arden Park-East Boston Historic District
The Arden Park-East Boston Historic District is a mostly residential area in central Detroit.[1] Many of the neighborhood's 92 homes [2] feature richly planted trees and flowers, deep setbacks, and oversized lots.
[edit] Bagley
The Bagley community is an area in Northwest Detroit whose boundaries are West Eight Mile Road to the north, Livernois Avenue to the east, West McNichols (Six Mile Road) to the south, and Wyoming Avenue to the west. The community's name is likely derived from Bagley Elementary School, which is the lone public school within the community. This community is situated just west of the Palmer Woods/Sherwood Forest/University District areas of Detroit.
[edit] Black Bottom/Paradise Valley
Black Bottom was an African-American neighborhood in Detroit's near eastside, bounded by Gratiot, Brush, Vernor Highway, and the Grand Trunk railroad tracks. It was demolished in the 1960s. Another African-American neighborhood, Paradise Valley, was located nearby.
[edit] Boston-Edison Historic District
Boston-Edison Historic District is located along Boston Boulevard, Chicago Boulevard, Longfellow, and Edison between Woodward Avenue and Linwood. Its 900 homes, built primarily from 1905-1925, makes it the largest residential historic district in the nation.
[edit] Bricktown Historic District
Bricktown separates the Renaissance Center from Greektown. It is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The area contains an eclectic mix of late 19th century architecture and early 20th century industrial buildings and warehouses. Bricktown is home to St. Peter and Paul’s Catholic Church, the oldest standing church in Detroit, and the Italian Renaissance style Wayne County Building (which was saved from demolition in the early 1980’s). The Wayne County Courthouse, which used to be located in the Wayne County Building, was the place where Mae West was once a defendant on a charge of public indecency. The Bricktown area is now seeing resurgence with the creation of lofts and the addition of the Greektown casino. While it is small in area, Bricktown is notable for its live music venues. Jacoby's provides a small performance space for up & coming acts. Around the corner, St. Andrew's Hall is a venue for nationally touring acts, as is the Shelter in the basement of St. Andrew's.
[edit] Brightmoor
Brightmoor stretches from Puritan and Schoolcraft Roads (north/south) between Telegraph Road and Evergreen (east/west). Brightmoor was created in the early 1900s by Henry Ford as a neighborhood for his factory workers. The area has been affected economically by the overall reduction in automotive industry jobs in the region. Consequently, the poverty rate is 44% in the neighborhood, compared to a 32% average for the rest of Detroit.
This neighborhood is depicted in the novel Warpath by Jeffry Scott Hansen.
[edit] Brush Park
Brush Park is the 24 block area bounded by Mack on the north, Woodward on the west, Beaubien on the east, and the Fisher freeway on the south. This neighborhood is within the larger area known as Midtown.
[edit] Cass Corridor
Cass Corridor is part of the Midtown Detroit area.
[edit] Chaldean Town
Chaldean Town runs along 7 Mile road from Woodward Avenue east to John R. road. The area was designated in 1999 as an economic district featuring Chaldean owned businesses, but it has a longer history of residential settlement by Chaldean immigrants dating back to the 1960s. Chaldean Town is often seen as a "staging area" for new immigrants to settle before moving on to other ethnic enclaves in the northern suburbs of Detroit, though many retain the ownership of businesses in the area after moving to the suburbs.
[edit] Conant Gardens
Conant Gardens is located on the East Side of Detroit along east 7 Mile Road. The neighborhood is unusual in that it was originally built and owned by African Americans, starting in the 1910s. The original owner of the property, Schubael Conant, was an abolitionist. In the 1840s, he removed the racially restrictive covenants which prevented land from being sold to African Americans. Similar covenants prevented African Americans from buying land in much of the rest of the city until the late 1940s. Nonetheless, the neighborhood was originally intended as an area for white collar employees of the Ford Motor Company to settle. This plan was never put into action, and a large influx of African Americans after World War I helped make the neighborhood primarily black.
American rap group Slum Village was raised in the Conant Gardens.
[edit] Corktown Historic District
Originally of Irish origins, Corktown is the oldest surviving neighborhood in Detroit. The Corktown Historic District is located directly south of Michigan Avenue, and directly west of the Lodge Freeway. The buildings of the Corktown Historic District are largely private residences, although some Michigan Avenue commercial buildings are open to the public.
[edit] Cultural Center Historic District
Detroit's Cultural Center is located in the Midtown neighborhood, about two miles (3 km) north of downtown, centered on the Cultural Center Historic District, which is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The Cultural Center is roughly bounded by Cass Avenue to the west, Interstate 75 to the east, Interstate 94 to the north and Warren Avenue to the south. It also includes the East Ferry Avenue Historic District. Attractions include the Detroit Institute of Arts, the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, the Scarab Club, the Detroit Historical Museum, the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit, the main library of the Detroit Public Library system and the Detroit Science Center. The College for Creative Studies is located adjacent the Scarab Club and opposite the East face of the Detroit Institute of Arts. The main campus of Wayne State University is located adjacent to the area, on the opposite side of Woodward.
[edit] Delray
Delray is a residential area in the industrial southwest side of the city. It is isolated from other residential communities by industrial warehouses and other commercial properties. Delray is bordered by the cities of Dearborn, Melvindale, and River Rouge to its south, Fort Street to it west, and Clark Street and the Detroit River to its east. Due to the long-time presence of large industrial complexes, the area is considered to be one of the most polluted residential areas in Detroit.
[edit] Downtown
Downtown Detroit is the city's central business district, bordered by the Lodge Freeway to the west, the Fisher Freeway to the north, Interstate 375 to the east, and the Detroit River to the south. The area contains most of the prominent skyscrapers in Detroit, including the Renaissance Center, the Penobscot Building, and the Guardian Building. Downtown has a number of parks including those linked by a promenade along the Detroit International Riverfront.
According to a collaborative report released by the Brookings Institution, Social Compact and the University of Michigan on October 26, 2006, downtown Detroit is home to 6,500 residents, and hosts 80,500 downtown workers, which makes up 21% of Detroit city's total employment. Downtown offers a number of residential high rises, including Riverfront Towers.
In recent years the downtown area has seen a tremendous growth and development. Since 2000 a number of major construction projects have been completed including the new Compuware Headquarters at Campus Martius Park and two new stadiums: Comerica Park and Ford Field. General Motors moved their headquarters into the Renaissance Center, and the Detroit Lions have relocated from Pontiac, MI to downtown Detroit. High-profile events like the 2005 MLB All-Star Game, Super Bowl XL, and the 2006 World Series have taken place in downtown, generating income for local businesses and spurring more growth[3]. As result new residents are moving into Detroit in the assortment of new lofts that are opening up, while condemned buildings and homes are being razed to make land available for yet more development. An example of these trends is the Westin Book-Cadillac Hotel. In 2006, the Cleveland-based Ferchill Group began the $180 million redevelopment of the long vacant Book Cadlliac Hotel at the corner of Washington Blvd. and Michigan Ave. Upon completion, the project which has been hailed by historic preservationists will house a 455 room Westin Hotel, 67 high-end condominiums, and two to three restaurants, and some miscellaneous retail serving hotel and conference center guests. DTE headquarters will feature an urban oasis of parks, walkways, and a reflecting pool.
[edit] East English Village

Developed in the 1920s, it was designed to create a business hub that would offer convenient access to both downtown resources and outlying factories. Some historians believe that the New Center may be the original edge city - a sub-center remote from but related to an urban core. From 1923 to 1996, General Motors maintained its world headquarters in the New Center (in what is now Cadillac Place) before relocating downtown to the Renaissance Center. Cadillac Place, a National Historic Landmark is now occupied by State of Michigan government offices. The Detroit St. Regis Hotel is across from Cadillac Place.

Detroit's North End neighborhood is bound by Woodward Avenue to the west, the city of Highland Park to the north, the Chrysler Freeway to the east, and East Grand Boulevard to the south. Historically, before the construction of the Chrysler Freeway, the eastern boundary of the neighborhood was Oakland Street. The North End was one of the few places middle class African-Americans could live in early twentieth century Detroit. The neighborhood flourished until the 1950s, when the construction of I-75 and suburban flight led to the decline of the neighborhood and the neighborhood became badly blighted. Despite the construction of I-75 and the effects of urban decay, the North End still has a stock of early 20th housing, including several dozen rowhouses and apartment buildings. The North End is also starting to see new housing being built for the first time in several decades, and was chosen as one of the focus neighborhoods for Mayor Kilpatrick's NEXT Detroit Neighborhood Initiatives[6], with specific goals to beautify the neighborhood, and strengthen civic leadership.

The Palmer Woods Historic District is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
Lots are large, with ample room for trees, play equipment, and a good expanse of grass. Stonework unlike that found in houses built today, adorns homes quite uniquely. There may be Scottish Coats of Arms, lead and stained glass windows, and other features, such as elevators in some of the homes. Some of the properties boast more than one structure:such as a house and guest house, or maids quarters. Part of the neighborhood overlooks Palmer Park.
While urban flight after the riots of the late 60's, as well as an outbreak of Dutch Elm disease in the 1970s, took some of the luster off the fashionable community, it is still the home of physicians, politicians, business owners, artists, executives and their families.
