Sure. I live in East English Village.

To keep it balanced, it's far from perfect. Foreclosures and people walking away have been a problem, and then the house becomes vunerable to scrappers. Of course the vacancy and market in general has caused the housing prices to drop dramatically too. And yes, higher crime than in the 'burbs, but still remarkably docile - unlike the typical Detroit cliche, there are tons of kids and families playing outside when its warm. All in all the unique features above make it a very pleasant, and certainly unique place to live. Though this is the exception for Detroit, not the rule, the better neighborhoods throughout the city still provide this old neighborhood feel and I love that.
