Why Live in Core City

Core City is a 4-square-mile neighborhood in Detroit undergoing significant revitalization, marked by new single-family homes and townhouses. This resurgence is fueled by downtown development and investments that are bringing jobs and new life to the area. Core City features unique housing options like the minimalist True North Detroit community, which includes eight SteelMaster Quonset steel huts designed for living and working, complete with gardens and a community pavilion. The nonprofit Core City Neighborhoods, Inc. has also contributed by building around 100 homes for moderate- and low-income residents. Downtown Detroit is just 2.5 miles away, making it easy for residents to get to the city center via a short car or bus ride. Schools in the area are highly rated, with Hamtramck Academy and Cass Technical High School standing out. Residents dine out at local favorites Hygrade Deli and Mike’s Famous Ham Place on Michigan Avenue. Humboldt Forest is a privately-owned but public park where residents can walk their dogs or create street art graffiti. Community gardens like 16th Forest Park have sprung up recently, beautifying the neighborhood’s streets.
