The boundaries of EEV are Outer Drive/Whittier, Harper, Cadieux, and Mack. Thesteve's house on Courville is west of Outer Drive [[technically Morningside).
It's always struck me as a fairly heterogeneous area, at least by Detroit standards. Plenty of old people, young people, black, white, etc. The people I know who live there all seem pretty nice.
It sounds like most of your questions could best be answered by renting there for a while and seeing how well your lifestyle fits with what it has to offer. Nothing anyone can tell you about it on the Internet is going to tell you whether it's a good place for you.
