Moving to East English Village

[Zacha341]

Right. EEV is declining and flanked nearly all sides by very bad areas. Safety is an issue in terms of home, person and personal property as break and enterings are up all over the city.

The east side of Detroit is experiencing the higher level of abandonment, dumping, and more exodus, with increasing crime in the eastern suburbs especially HW. And whatever further consolidation of policing and services is only going to make it worse. There's only one precinct spread thin all the way up thru east seven mile over to eight mile and Gratiot? No, in IMO this is not the time... pre EFM and or all the other pending changes, adaptations.

What is the name of the precinct that covers nearly all of the east side

Unfortunately East English is declining. It's not what it was in the 80's. There have been a couple car jackings on Warren near there and a kid was shot during one of them. Home prices have really tanked in Harper Woods. Crime is escalating but you can get a house in the Grosse Pointe district cheap. Harper Woods has terrific city services but burglaries and thefts are becoming common place.

There's one on Nevada, then there's the old 9th precinct on Gratiot and Gunston.

The 7th [[Gratiot & Mack) and fifth precincts were shuttered under Kilpatrick.

But as a person who lives on the eastside now, I would hold off on buying any property anywhere in the city if you expect a reasonable quality of life or to make a profit from it any time soon.

There are quite frankly a ton of Detroit home owners who now wish they had left the city before the bottom hit in the city and in the economy, and are now stuck with huge motgages and worthless properties and looking for any type of out that isn't financially damaging to them.

edit: To the OP, I don't mean to sound so negative in my post, but as a resident of Detroit now who will be getting out [[of Michigan) soon, I must be honest and tell you it is absolutely not a good time to be in the city, outside of the few marginally yuppified areas around downtown.

I don't think it's called a precinct anymore, just the Eastern District, and it's on Gratiot.
