I already live in my ideal Detroit house, for right now. It is a beautiful pre-war bungalow with built-ins, limestone brickwork, wet plaster arches, fireplace, and original woodworking and tiles. It is modest but it is my slice of heaven. Those large homes are gorgeous but good G-d, how do you maintain 8000 square feet? I like some of the smaller [[relatively speaking!) Tudors etc. in Rosedale, EEV, University. However, I would LOVE riverfront property.

Condos and lofts? Blech, you can keep them. Detroit is a city of homes!
