All the kids in the neighborhood would do massive bike rides from 8mile to 6mile. It was like a per-pubescent slow roll of 10-14 kids.

Lafayette Foods, Lafayette Park, Chrysler Elementary
Stargazing club in the park. We saw planets. People of all ages.

As a resident of (regular) Rosedale park, I always felt intimidated and inferior to North Rosedale. Now that I live in North Rosedale, I understand why I felt that way - we have to become more inclusive and open in our understanding of "community."

My neighbors are the most amazing and welcoming people I've ever met.

Rosa Coffee Shop, Royal Fresh Grocery Store

Can we add neighborhoods in Dearborn as well?

This is the neighborhood my father grew up in during the 1930s and 40s.

Tonya Meyers Phillips is the block captain for these blockfronts along Blaine. There are usually 2-3 annual events, including a BBQ, cleanup, etc. The block nearest Lodge has a community space.

Butzel Elementary (now Garvey) was where me and my sibling went to school. Butzel Rec Center is great place to hang out. The Commons has coffee, laundry, and wifi and has been a huge help in the neighborhood for more than 5 years.

Red Hook, Metro, Sister Pie, Shipherd Garden
West Village is great! Approachable and friendly. A lot of folks know all the longer term residents.

Lil industrial area of Detroit, love it though. Real close to Conant gardens. I used to see Dilla pull up at Frank n Dank's spot and wonder what it would be like to be that loved.

O'Hair Park Association -With O’Hair Park as the center of our community, we build pride by engaging members and volunteers in social activities, educational sessions and neighborhood beautification events for all to enjoy.

Our Mohican Regent Residents Association has completed many worthwhile projects for the community and I’m proud of them and me!

They tore down a building across the street from me with a nice mural on it so I took some pictures of it before they tore it down.

I bought my first home in Bagley in July of 2023. In this neighborhood, I can walk to the pharmacy, grocery stores, a hardware store, the post office, parks, and a few community gardens.

Sandwiched between Grand Boulevard and the Villages, Islandview is a majority-Black neighborhood that is home to lots of multi-generational families. The neighborhood is home to several churches and block clubs. Housing stock here is often more than 100 years old and can be high-end in places. Islandview has been targeted for development by the city and is gentrifying even as seniors in the neighborhood struggle to maintain their homes.

Including a fun online story:

Coffee Shops, Belle Isle, The River Walk, Gabriel Richard Park, Brewery Faisan, Spotlite
Islandview doesn't quite know what it is. It is between downtown, and Indian Village. The majority of Islandview is empty warehouses, but has a major advantage with the riverwalk, and proximity to Belle Isle.
By including the riverwalk in front of Jefferson, and Gabriel Ricahrd Park, Islandview has the potential to draw many more residences, unique warehouse businesses, coffee shops, event spaces, and public transportation. It is a perfect spot to develop between downtown, and historic Indian Village to eliminate a "dead" feel on Jefferson between those two communities.

The place where I fell in love with Detroit

My grandmother grew up on Wabash street in the 1950’s until she was five years old. Now two generations later, my brother and I are in Corktown just blocks from that house bringing things full circle.

Campus Martius, bars, summertime events & concerts

Marathon Oil took over the REAL Oakwood Blvd

That’s the name of the subdivision on the deed for the house.

I grew up going to Nardin Park Methodist church, though didn't live in the neighborhood. It's the name of the subdivision John Nardin laid out and it's anchored at the actual Nardin Park (which may have been renamed by now).

I've never lived here, but have known people who have. This is the ACTUAL Aviation Subdivision (the name on the plat) that also sits within Dearborn. Why "Aviation Sub" is appearing around Coleman A Young Airport is beyond me.

I've had longtime friends here. It's the only neighborhood name I've known for this area, from them. It's also the name of the Urban Renewal plat that covers at least part of the area.

When we first moved in, our neighbors invited us for a backyard bbq and convinced us to adopt a neighborhood cat (not on the same night).

I lived the other side of Rouge Park from here for 14 years, but had relatives and friends in Warrendale and spent tons of time there.

I lived nearby and had friends here for 14 years. I'm shocked to see on the macro map that 100% of people called this Brightmoor! Castle Rouge residents I know would be appalled.

I lived in Delray and spent quite a bit of time in Oakwood Heights. Don't think there are many neighbors left there, unfortunately! Marathon bought out the bulk of the remaining households several years ago.

I think it's a fairly new name for the area, but from what I could see, it stuck, at least for a while when I was working with a nonprofit based there.

Medical Center is the name of the Urban Renewal plat where I live, so essentially the subdivision name. Other than "Midtown", this is the best descriptor of the area surrounding DMC.

It’s a dream living here. People are friendly but not pushy. They look out for one another. The community association plans activities at our small local park, Hyde Park. There is a mix of ages, races and family structure. We are grateful to live here for over 15 years.

I live in Landyland, a subset of the corridor. Created by Joel Landy, it was one of the only vibrant areas of the corridor for many years, thanks solely to Joel and his like-minded friends.

Lived on Vicksburg Street between Dexter and Holmer St. from 1999 - 2006. This is one of my favorite neighborhoods in the city. Growing up, we spent everyday outside after school, on weekends. Made so many friendships and memories that I will cherish forever. We took pride in maintaining our homes/lawns. My siblings learned how to ride bikes in this neighborhood. My parents allowed me to explore my neighborhood by bicycle as we became better familiarized with the area. Friends and I would walk for miles in the neighborhood meeting new kids from different streets. It was nice to get to know people in the neighborhood. Around the mid 2000s, during the blackout, I remember families coming together outside on porches, sharing food, candles, and a range of other supplies. They worked together to keep updated. Somehow had dinner going outside and fed the block. Even my house was the one folks came to for food, fun and ice cream before it all melted. The adults came together to make sure all the kids were taken care of. That’s just how it was back then. While we didn’t understand what was happening, we had a sense that everything is going to be ok. We looked out for one another then and in some cases still now. To this day, I proudly rep being from Dexter. Stay repping that 16 Dexter DDOT route too. A gem in the city.

Lots of farms, children, DIY/handy folx live here. Pizza oven, goats, tree nurseries, natural spaces, hoop houses, gardens. A bit segregated but a close and small community.

As a child, while "stealing" blackberries from a tree next to the old Bethune Police station, my uncle recognized me from the window of the jail holding area where he was. He yelled my name through the open, barred window & told me to tell my aunt (his wife) to send someone over to get him out of jail. A true family tale!

12080 Broadstreet Ave, Detroit, MI, 48204,

Cornerstone Village is the often overlooked little sibling of the East Side community. The community is the furtherest eastward of Morningside, East English Village.

I have lived in Detroit for my 70+ years and in the Old Redford - Brightmoor Neighborhoods for 50+ years. I own 7 properties consisting of almost 50,000 sq ft and over 4 acres and have never been approached or responded to our numerous ideas for the redevelopment of Old Redford or Brightmoor
by the City of Detroit on any of our Development Plans for over 7 years. Why? I?We have numerous great stories and ideas.

The area around 7 Mile Road and the Southfield Freeway to Greenfield Road in Detroit, Michigan, has a significant history. Originally developed as a part of Detroit's suburban expansion in the mid-20th century, this area saw rapid growth and became a bustling community hub. It was home to diverse neighborhoods, businesses, and cultural landmarks. However, like many urban areas, it faced economic challenges and urban decay over time. Efforts have been made to revitalize the area, including community initiatives and development projects aimed at restoring its vibrancy and fostering economic growth.

Moved in right before the pandemic. Got to experience that and the 2021 flood as my introduction to the neighborhood. Still love it though.

I really love how I can walk around my neighborhood and see different people and things. Everything is so close.

My Grandparent's lived in this house for 40 years before they passed and I moved in. Our family has been here almost 50 years. It went from being a nit so good neighborhood in the 70's, 80's and 90's, to transforming into one of the nicest in the city..!

While walking through the neighborhood or while doing yardwork at my own home.

Baldwin Farms is the official name of our area on our deeds.

The thing about this part of the city is that it is like being in the country, it's a bit anarchist in that we like our space and the fact that there aren't a lot of people here. It's full of vacant land, few structures but lots of agriculture and green spaces being developed for the community by residents. We struggle with heavy industrial pollution nearby and lack of representation or investment from the city.

Palmyra Woods, not to be confused with its very tony cousin, Palmer Woods is little known subdivision that 19th Century US Senator Thomas Palmer gifted to his wife Lizzie Palmer. It is replete with modest colonial and smaller brick homes.

growing up here, the neighborhood has always prided itself on being inclusive to all.

Hope Village is home to the oldest home in Detroit, the James Smith farmhouse on Clements

The old guys who grew up here say that when they were kids they referred to it as downtown.

I've lived here, at the same address, since 1995.
Back when DPD & DFD employees were required to live in the city they clustered in a handful of neighborhoods within Detroit. These areas were colloquially know as "Copper Canyons". The Riverdale neighborhood was NW Detroit's Copper Canyon.
Despite the notorious Brightmoor coexisting within the same square mile bounded by McNichols and Fenkell, Puritan street was an obvious hard border. North of was nice well-kept homes, south of was the decaying remnants of one of Detroit's last poor white neighborhoods.
There were very very few distressed properties north of Puritan St. until the sub-prime mortgage crisis of 2008. Then many of Riverdale's homeowners either sold or lost their homes.
In the ensuing years many houses sat abandoned and vandalized; looking more similar to Brightmoor than it ever had.
Nonetheless, there is still a significant population of pre-crisis homeowners that rode out that storm and still consider their neighborhood to be Riverdale.

Woodbridge Pub & the neighborhood itself

North Corktown was once a place you got stuck but is becoming a place of rapid gentrification. In an effort to insure that no legacy neighbors get pushed out the neighborhood has decided that if the tide will rise it will rise for us all. It is arguably the best neighborhood in Detroit.

The time when me and my friends was jus walking around and exploring downtown

I'm inventing evrything. I have never lived in Hamtramck

Beautiful historic apartment buildings in a variety of architectural styles. A very interesting and rare example of the density that once existed.

Techno Boulevard is located in Eastern Market near Gratiot and Riopelle St. It got its name in the 80s, when The Belleview three began together living close by in the eastern market lofts. There was Juan Atkin’s Metroplex, Kevin Saunderson’s KMS, and Derrick May’s Transmat. It was a living space and place of creative freedom. Here Techno music grew into a Detroit global phoneme. In the past Derrick May attempted to get the city to recognize the area as historic landmark. Today the buildings are still in use, La Ventana is a trendy modern coffee shop just a short walk away. The legacy of the space is carried on by Soren May, the daughter of Derrick May and her friends. Soren May is an eclectic and versed DJ herself, working magic by bringing artists across Detroit and the suburbs to parties and events. We come together to celebrate, to feel the music of desire. Black space— creative community—freedom.

Obviously the park itself (Pingree Park) is the center of the neighborhood! Seminole, Iroquois, Seneca, and Burns are the core streets—this neighborhood was originally planned as an extension of Indian Village north of Mack. There are many long-time residents here who remember growing up playing in Pingree Park and who went to Barbour Junior High. Many beautiful homes and lots of neighborhood pride here.

The Morouns and City of Detroit have destroyed everything. We don't have anything left.

This neighborhood is great. The farms and gardens, the canals, I feel like I am upnorth once I cross over the ashland or alter bridge.

Moved here in the early 90s with my family—close proximity to St. Scholastica School where children attended and my job (hospital that was where the current Home Depot is now on 7 mile, and later at what is now called Sinai-Grace hospital).

Dream of Detroit is combining community organizing with strategic housing and land development to build a healthy community and revitalize our neighborhood on the Westside of Detroit.

Cass Park, Kitab, Bronx and Temple, on my porch, out in the street and sometimes the Unitarian Church
My map may look a bit different than others - it's much more of a view of the Corridor from 25 years ago than now. To me, walking up Cass as a kid back then, the Corridor really started at the Leland and the GAR Building. It was like a gateway of sorts, and the Northern edge of the corridor was Alvin's (now Tony V's) on the WSU campus.
I have a lot of stories, most of them are sad and have a bad ending, and if you know anything about the Corridor you probably know what I'm talking about. I watched a lot of good people go down bad roads here, and I learned a lot about what kind of person I wanted to be and what kind of life I wanted. No matter what, I'll always love the Corridor, and if I ever have to leave it will be very sad.

when we first moved into neighborhood my husband and I soon lost our jobs if it was not for ron Castello (Herman Kiefer development) we would have been homeless he kepts us both employed for 3 years even during the pandemic my husband found a better job and I had health issues otherwise I would still be working for him

Diverse & lively architecture, businesses, entertainment and residents.

Mostly good. Whole streets basements flooded once.

Church, schools, community meetings, local restaurants/shops

local cafes and parks... or on the street
