do not like living around or in Detroit.
Affordable city housing for seniors. A lot of senior & free activities.
If feel it is friendly, after all I live here and has raised two young children into adults in this same neighborhood. I went to school around here as well as my children. Everyone works hard to have a peaceful and safe environment . We as a whole look out for each other. Our children have engaged in same schools, colleges and now working in the same community.
