Omin,
You can get a wonderfully huge home with character here in Detroit. Yes, Detroit has all the big city amenities, while also being a unique, soulful place. I'm from here and I love it. Lots of truth, variety and moving parts.
Not much convenience. If you want that, move to a track home community amidst strip malls. You should come visit before moving here.
Crime: Being very smart and cautious goes a long way. Get an alarm, maybe get a dog. Know your neighbors. I live in West Village and I met virtually all of my neighbors during the first week. Good people, making their way and looking out for each other. Things happen here, like anywhere. But more than anything else there is an edge to the town. Carry yourself with strength and awareness and most trouble will skip you.
If you want a big, beautiful home for a reasonable price try Boston Edison, University District or maybe Indian Village if you get a good find. Cabbage patch in GP is alright. GP is its own animal but has incredible homes [[not really in cabbage patch).
