Love that last one, my guy. Detroit is an absolute gem. Authenticity is so underrated, people that move to Detroit (and already live here) WANT to move to Detroit, not for clout, not for a "scene," just cause it has so much to offer and the people are next level. Big love to the 313

I'm from southwestern ontario born in sarnia. Detroit was our major city long before toronto

I love Detroit Downtown. One of the best Downtowns I have seen in the USA so far. I migrated to Michigan in 2007 from Bangladesh and lived in right on the border of Detroit and Hamtruck. Half of my street block was Polish and other half was white, black and bengalies. I grew up near Detroit Downtown and Polish neighborhood. I loved the Detroit Downtown. It has different vibe to it and the middle eastern food is amazing. Where I lived in Detroit they turned the town to Bengali Town. It is right on 7 mile Conant rd. Amazing experience living there. Where I lived the area was slightly ghetto but nothing too bad. Yes our bike got stolen every summer but not too many crime outside of that where I lived

The Art Museum is incredible. That Diego Rivera mural is amazing!

Detroit was the first city I ever visited. I really enjoyed my time there. People were so friendly

Detroit downtown is so walkable. Walking from the to midtown you can see so much. You have three major sport stadiums minutes away. Major entertainment theaters within minutes away. The midtown area is great. You all the museums and Wayne state university with Walking distance.

I was raised in suburban Detroit. My wife and I bought a home in Rosedale Park thinking that if it didn't work out, we would be no worse off than if we had been renting somewhere. That was 45 years ago and we are still here. Outstanding housing value for the price, a beautiful, diverse, organized neighborhood association, a good business community, nice parks, transit... the works. Houses range from 1200 square feet to 3000 square feet, and sell for prices between $150k to $300k. It is in a special lower property tax zone. The houses are a bargain, especially if you are coming from either coast. My walk score is 72 (although that is on the high end for the neighborhood), and I almost always walk to the grocery store (5 minutes) or the drug store (5 minutes). There are 2 nearby libraries, barber shops, a small hardware store, coffee shop, donut shop, garden shop, book store, banks, middle-eastern, Chinese restaurants, churches, schools... you name it. Add to that the fantastic neighbors who live here. This is probably the most stable, most organized, and deep-rooted neighborhood in the city. There are 1500 homes in Rosedale Park, and more when you add North Rosedale Park and the other surrounding neighborhoods, so it is not a small hidden enclave. Not a lot of homes come on the market, and they sell quickly. There are a million reasons for that.

Let The Land Bank sell to anyone- doesn’t matter what their intentions are as long as they improve and develop. Detroit will explode in population, get more diverse, bring jobs, expertise, and skilled labor.

Yup, Detroit needs people, a city can’t improve with 1/3 of its tax base. People who want to live the American dream, own a home, take care of it, commit to helping better the neighborhood.

I transferred in my job to Detroit back in 2020. Since I've fallen in love with the growth of the city and because of the affordability compared to the rest of the market, me and the wife are fully considering a move to Detroit. We're really hoping we can purchase some lot and build a home from the ground up and make it our own. Will still cost less than purchasing one in today's market. If not there are plenty of homes that even for a higher price you get so much more house.

Great clip! I have investing in Detroit real estate. Highland Park area is the next upcoming neighborhood!!!

Green Acres is is a great neighborhood in Detroit at 8 and Woodward. It's a traditional neighborhood with mature trees and tudor, colonial, and cottage-style houses ranging from 1100 -2500 sq. feet mostly built between 1920 and 1950s-ish. Green Acres never experienced the vacancy of many Detroit neighborhoods. It's nicely central to the entire metro area and the northern border of neighborhood is the start of the suburban communities to the the north so you have all the amenities of the suburbs, and downtown is 15 minutes away.

Detroit is a great city with beautiful architecture and great history. True, it went through some bad times but it is definitely turning around and is the renaissance city. It will take some time to bring some of the neighborhoods back but it’s being done. I lived in Detroit for a dozen years, through some of the bad times, and I always felt that the people were good people. The city always got a bad rap and yet there are cities with far worse crime that never get mentioned. Congrats to Detroit for their rebirth. Thanks for the great video on Detroit. 👏👏👍

Pros of Detroit - Mild Winters, World Class Delta Hub Airport, Great Architecture, Big City Amenities and Great Parks, Somewhat Affordable Housing & the city is improving, great food Cons of Detroit - Nepotism in the job market when it comes to good jobs, Wages & Benefits suck at most non-union jobs here, crime in most areas, and high taxes. Anywhere near downtown, most places are 300k & up.

It used to be a dump, but since the state took it over they have spent millions on it, I think it’s absolutely beautiful everywhere, I don’t know where you’re talking about this rundown? There might be a couple small buildings here and there overall, the island is fabulous now. The aquarium is amazing, the Dawson Museum a lot of fun and renovated, the conservatory is just reopening right now after redoing all the glass and metal. The beaches are beautiful. The walkways are lovely, and the pavilion is being totally restored now too. The Detroit yacht club is an absolutely gorgeous building. If you go inside, the Detroit boat club building needs to be restored. The only thing that I see that needs work is the Bandshell Area, all the lakes are pristine and lovely.

Ive been thinking about moving to Detroit for the past couple of years, being a commercial truck driver my experience with the city has always been mixed, poor roads, no place to park and when you do you've got hookers pounding on your door ever 15 minutes asking if you want some companionship however the people was always friendly (even the prostitutes when you told them "no thanks") but in recent years its been on my radar, affordable housing make the idea of owning a home a reality, the general consensus is that as long as you dont do anything stupid (walk the streets late at night acting like Billy bad butt ready to take on the world) or leave your keys in the car or worse install a $1500 stereo in it then you've got little to worry about. Since I'm pretty much a recluse who simply desires to collect my disability and sit on my porch reading the newspaper while laughing at the kids pop wheelies on their bikes and my only excursions involes traveling to the VA to be chewed out by the dietitian for not esting properly or my required follow-up appointments I should be okay

This is spot on. I was born and raised in metro DWT (and Chicago) in the '70s & '80s but have spent the last few decades in the PNW (namely Seattle & PDX) and although I still love the West Coast in general, the cost of living, specifically housing (renting or owning) is just not affordable for many here (or arguably, sustainable) anymore. There's also a better vibe in DWT vs. the "Seattle freeze" regarding people's attitudes and general outlook. Thanks for posting this video and for this channel 😎

Hahaha I believe in Detroit, worked in the city, but a suburbanite. Detroit proper has so many, very rough areas I'm not driving through any time of day. The actual places people moving here want to live in are very few (within the city limits) . Boston Edison, Palmer woods, downtown are the few. The rest are not all that safe, period. The suburbs are ok, until you're 45 min outside, hold for a few exceptions (Gross Point/woods/Park, Royal oak, Bloomfield, Berkeley, Allen Park, etc) places like highland, innkster you're going to get robbed once a year. So now we're talking Rochester hills, West Bloomfield, Ann Arbor, Novi, Northville, Brighton, all are going to cost 500k+or 2,500 for rent each month for a simple home in today's market.... Yeah not sounding all that great

The Grand Prix moved downtown last year... It's is no longer on Belle Isle... Only faux pas I heard...

Is Detroit and Michigan ready to do the Texas thing? - to advertise and ask people to move there? Or is it the case of “we don’t want you here”?

It's just another shithole.

I live in downtown Detroit for 16 years now I love it, however, that $75,000 figure is enormously misleading. That’s a median price when you take into consideration all the horrible neighborhoods of which there are many , some of them , you can buy homes for 20 and 30,000 which brings this medium price down, , but frankly no one would want to live there, in the nicer areas of Detroit. It’s not cheap by any means , the downtown / Midtown are expensive by Detroit standards but very nice . Condos in Brush Park go for anywhere from half 1,000,000 to 1,000,000, just looked at a townhouse in Corktown , from 859 to 1, million, I couldn’t believe it.!! My own Lafayette Park area averages about 400 to 500,000. But compared to other cities on the coast I guess that’s still cheap. The suburbs of Detroit, which go on forever Have tons of different price points some unbelievably expensive, some more reasonable. Do your homework, but it’s a wonderful metropolitan area to live in.
