Vintage homes tend to feature lush gardens
Though Banglatown only took form in the 1990s, this section of Detroit was developed from the 1900s to 1920s as the Motor City’s automaking industry began to boom. Bungalows, split-levels and ranch-style residences line Campau-Banglatown’s streets, which are densely packed with early-20th-century construction. Despite this heavily urbanized atmosphere, Banglatown is known for its lush gardens, with residents choosing to cultivate Bengali herbs like red amaranth in their back yards and curbside flowers out front. Homes tend to sell for between $73,000 and $186,000, with well-maintained properties garnering higher sale prices.

Banglatown is close to a massive athletic park and the Hamtramck Disneyland
Banglatown sits just across Conant from Jayne-Lasky Park, a 65-acre green space full of recreational opportunities. Several baseball fields, basketball courts, playgrounds and a splash pad are open to the public, while the park also features Detroit’s only public minigolf course. Just a block south of Banglatown, a small art installation attempts to bring Disney magic to the heart of Metro Detroit. Locally called “Hamtramck Disneyland,” this yard of folk art was designed by a retired General Motors employee who, on leaving the auto industry, decided to make a small village of painted woodworks for the community to enjoy. Though the original artist Dmytro Szylak passed away in 2015, the city of Hamtramck and a local art collective keep this unique art experience alive for locals and international visitors to enjoy.
