Islandview Village has infill. The Messiah church has spear headed a lot. Existing homes are a 100 plus years old. I really like the 3 story brick town homes but even the cheap low income duplex housing is kind of cute with a victorian flavor. I fear those might not weather age well?

The second rendering you showed was very appealing. I might be in the market a few years from now. Our house is too big to maintain by ourselves and have to hire out for help. Grass, snow shoveling, daily maintainance seems overwhelming sometimes. I plod along and love our house but ..... gets a little pricey. Regardless of decisions we will stay in Detroit.
