Older homes draw renovators and community investment
Most of the homes in the area are bungalows and colonials dating back to the turn of the 20th century. Many need renovation, which has drawn investors and house flippers. The average value for single-family homes in McDougall-Hunt is in the low $100,000s, similar to Forest Park-Eastern Market and Gratiot-Grand, while generally remaining less expensive than Elmwood Park and Islandview.
The neighborhood’s people are a big part of what makes it stand out, says Katrina Watkins, founder and CEO of the Bailey Park Neighborhood Development Corporation, which works to strengthen the community through engagement programs. Watkins says several local organizations reflect the neighborhood's ongoing efforts to grow and improve. “Key Street Project has a greenhouse in the community,” Watkins says. “The Heidelberg Project is located in the neighborhood too, and people come from all over to see that project.”
Those looking to renovate will find many good candidate homes inside McDougall-Hunt.

Green spaces and the Heidelberg Project draw visitors
Bailey Park, the centerpiece project of the Bailey Park Neighborhood Development Corporation, transformed more than 20 vacant lots into a shared outdoor space. A resident-led nonprofit, the organization built the park to address a lack of green space in the area. The park has a playground and a fitness area with pull-up bars and dip bars. It also includes open fields, benches and shaded seating areas. Nearby Perrien Park has a double basketball court and open green space for events.
The Heidelberg Project is one of the neighborhood’s best-known landmarks. Begun in 1986, it turns a stretch of Heidelberg Street into an outdoor art environment filled with colorful installations made from found objects, along with murals and sculptures.
Bailey Park offers plenty for kids to do outdoors.
The Heidelberg Project is curated by founder and Detroit native Tyree Guyton.
