I live in Huntington Woods [[the 1.5 square mile from 10 to 11 Mile and from Woodward to Coolidge) Homes in this area seem to sell pretty swifly and at not so bottom barrel prices. My neighborhood is much more stable with less foreclosures than my parents neighborhood out in West Bloomfield. While I do not live in the C of Detroit, I can say that my walkable neighborhood is much like a major city neighborhood rather than a typical "suburb" with culdesacs, no sidewalks and open spaces. This area seems to attract those who want to be close to the city without being IN the city. At least that was the appeal to my wife and me. I would love to live in the city in a similiar type neighborhood but unfortunately it just does not exist right now.
