Outer Drive-Hayes Homes for Rent

Outer Drive-Hayes in Detroit is a neighborhood characterized by its smaller, brick homes from the 1930s and '40s, featuring Tudor-style cottages with decorative brickwork and steep roof gables, as well as bungalows with low-pitched roofs and front porches. While some properties are well-maintained, others are abandoned and may require significant updates. The neighborhood is commuter-friendly, with Interstate 94 providing access to downtown Detroit, 10 miles west, and Detroit Medical Center, 8 miles away. Shopping and dining options are accessible via I-94, with upscale retail and dining in Grosse Pointe to the east and trendy restaurants and bars in Midtown to the west. Harper Avenue offers casual dining, including Universal Coney, and grocery shopping at Royal Fresh Market. Harpos Concert Theater, a historic Art Moderne venue, hosts various music acts, while local churches provide community events. Despite a lack of green space, efforts are underway to improve parks, with Glenfield-Lannett Playground recently receiving a new basketball court. Chandler Park, within 2 miles, offers sports fields and courts, and a new recreation center is expected to open in mid-2025.
