Gardenview Estates progress

If the new Gardenview Estates provides housing for families and turns the corner for a neighborhood -- and having called the developers today to discuss their plans -- there will be senior housing, early learning center, housing for families. It sounds like this is a design that could work elsewhere.

Keep an eye out for Gardenview Estates. And add this to my list of positive developments in Detroit.

This project has been in the planning stages for years. I'm sure the government [[HUD) wasn't going to wait for economic conditions in the housing market to improve if they were set to start and complete this project.

Also, even the poorest of the poor would rather live in a brand spanking new home or apartment then live in some old rehabbed 1930s house or apartment building.

BTW, anybody else notice how small the retail section of this project is compared to the whole development? I would have left room along Joy Rd. for more retail development. Also, if you live on the southeast end of this development you're going to have a hell of a walk to get to the retail in that northeast corner. Speaking of retail, wasn't there supposed to be retail in the southeast corner of Woodbridge Estates?

really.... could you imagine actually having the poorest of the poor be asked to live in rehabbed 1930's housing??? for the love of god, we are talking human beings here... most people wouldn't subject their pets to living in rehabbed 1930's housing stock....

When I was in college, the dorm was over a hundred years old.

Why are all of the people wanting to restore Brush Park if they wouldn't let their pets live there?
