Why Live in Civic Park
In the early 1900s, General Motors built Civic Park to house its workers, and the neighborhood quickly became a beacon of working-class success.

In the years that followed, hundreds of the neighborhood's homes were abandoned, and Civic Park Elementary closed in 2010. “When General Motors left, everything kind of went downhill,” says Maurice Davis, president of the Historic Civic Park Preservation Association. “Civic Park is in a transitional state now and starting to be revitalized.” Thanks to recent grants and investments from local organizations, the neighborhood has seen a significant reduction in vacant properties and a growing network of support for residents. Construction in Civic Park began quickly in 1919, with nearly 1,000 homes going up before the year was over. Houses would continue to be built from the 1920s to the 1950s, leading to a mix of architecture. Ranch-style homes sit next to older bungalows, Tudor Revivals, and Dutch Revivals with
