Eminem's childhood neighborhood in suburban Detroit
While notable for being rapper Eminem's childhood neighborhood, Conner Creek's namesake stream has a longer and more current history. The creek flows southward and empties into the Detroit River and was a major food source for indigenous people. As the area developed, construction forced the waterway to flow underground, leaving no visible trace of the creek today. Yet, the name lives on in the gridded subdivision where a collection of homes is gaining renewed interest for their regionally competitive prices, proximity to retail and dining, and straightforward 9-mile commutes to downtown Detroit. Further, where the creek once flowed above ground, the Conner Creek Greenway project is again connecting the area to the Detroit River—this time via bike paths—and the community through events and programs.
Connor Creek is known for being a quiet, tight knit neighborhood located minutes from downtown.
Connor Creek is known for its selection of small, affordable bungalow style homes.

Mostly single-story homes
Conner Creek is the result of mid-20th-century suburban development, and it shows. Cottages and bungalows with spacious yards line wide, sidewalk-flaked streets, and many areas have yard-wide channels of lawns between the street and sidewalk. Realtor Paul Nichols of Worth Clark Realty says, “There are large, fenced backyards for grilling, chilling, and entertaining family and friends.” Home prices vary from $30,000 to $95,000, making Conner Creek one of the city’s least expensive neighborhoods. The median home price is $53,500, up 10% from the previous year. “Whether homebuyers are looking to move into a home of their own or add to their rental portfolio, they’ve come to the right place,” says Nichols.

Bel Air Luxury Cinema and a handful of local restaurants
Conner Creek may be a small, primarily residential community, but it borders the famous 8 Mile Road, perhaps best known for its association with the local music legend Eminem. To the west, the road leads to an industrial area where Forman Mills, a discount retailer, is also located. Van Dyke Avenue runs perpendicular to 8 Mile and has restaurants and other businesses. Me & My Girls Soul Food cooks up a selection of classic soul food dishes, and Great Lakes Fish and Chicken is there as well. East on Gratiot Avenue, Detroit Blues Cafe is a lively bar with weekly events. Mike's Fresh Market is also along the road for grocery runs. Joe Randazzo’s Fruit & Vegetable Market is located at the southern end of the neighborhood.

Pro sports and street racing
Downtown Detroit is less than 10 miles south of Conner Creek, so the city's slate of sports franchises is within reach. If residents want to tap into the city’s automotive roots, they can head downtown in the spring and watch the Detroit Grand Prix. The IndyCar road race takes place on the streets of downtown Detroit, which are blocked off and lined with spectator space so residents can watch all the action.

Opening Day at Commerica Park is something Detroiters look forward to all winter long.

Pulaski Elementary-Middle and Osborn High
Students live a few blocks from Pulaski Elementary-Middle School and Osborn High School. Both schools bear C-minus ratings from Niche, but Osborn High’s teachers have received high marks, and students enjoy a smaller student-to-teacher ratio than the national average.
Children attending Pulaski Elementary-Middle School receive the support they need to succeed.
Osborn High School offers a variety of after-school and extra curricular programs for kids.

Baseball at Marruso Park and biking along the Detroit River
The Conner Creek Greenway runs along Conner Street, offering a biking path that runs south toward the Detroit River. The multi-million dollar project headed by The Detroit Eastside Community Collaborative aims to provide 9 miles of cycling paths and focus community building projects, such as bike rides and bike repair workshops. On Annott Avenue, Marruso Park has a playground, a baseball field and a basketball court. Kids can also enjoy a playground at Wish Egan Park on Schoenherr Street. Much like Marruso, Wish Egan is home to a baseball field and basketball court, and a paved path surrounds the park. Bel Air Luxury Cinema is located within the neighborhood as well.
There is plenty of room to practice your shot, swing, or throw at Calimera Park.
Marrusso Park is centrally located inside the community.

Interstate 94 just a few miles away
