A vibrant community at the center of the city
Midtown is a bustling, robust neighborhood at the center of Detroit. Home to Wayne State University, the Detroit Medical Center and so much more, this community attracts students, professionals and families who want to be at the heart of the city. “My favorite thing about living here is that there’s so much life,” says Ashley Hicks, a local nanny and long-time resident. “Everyone’s out and about, everyone’s happy. If you go out on a Friday, Saturday, or even a weekday, there’s always people enjoying themselves. They’re at the restaurants, bars, bowling alley.” Midtown’s commercial and residential districts flawlessly intertwine to create a walkable, diverse and vibrant community. “We have a cool atmosphere,” says Hicks. “I feel like I’m in the center of everything.”

The Q-Line, DDOT and freeways
A compact layout, well-kept sidewalks and paved bike lanes make this neighborhood one of Detroit’s most easy to navigate. "One of the biggest draws to Midtown is the accessibility," says Randall Fogelman, a 30-year Detroit resident who lives in Midtown and is a Realtor with O'Connor RealtyDetroit. “I love my community. I always see someone I know when I go out walking.”And while plenty of people walk, bike and skateboard around, there are plenty of public transit options throughout the area. On Woodward, the Q-line moves riders from New Center to Downtown in minutes. The Warren, Cass and Woodward DDOT bus lines are also accessible, along with SMART Bus routes 461, 462, 562 and 851. Drivers have easy access to Interstates 94, 75, and 96. There’s also an Amtrack station at the neighborhood's northern edge.
The Q-Line offers easy access to the Midtown neighborhood via the Woodward Avenue corridor.
Bike lanes and easy routes around Midtown are a favored feature for residents.

Shopping and dining in every direction
From award-winning Chinese at Shangri-La to casual pub fare at Hopcat, there are countless restaurants throughout Midtown. Newer establishments, like Ima, flawlessly mingle with longstanding staples, like Detroit One Coney, creating a community where there are limitless options in every direction. "One of the reasons I moved here almost 30 years ago is the walkability," says Fogelman. "That's only become more appealing as more restaurants have opened in Midtown."Grabbing essentials, on the other hand, can be a bit more daunting. While there’s a CVS on Warren and a Whole Foods on Woodward, residents have to commute to grab everyday needs. “The only thing I don’t like about living here is that there isn’t a grocery store other than Whole Foods and Marcus Market,” says Hicks. “You have to travel outside to get everything.”

Year-round events
There’s always something going on in Midtown. Red Wings and Pistons games are a Q-Line ride away at Little Ceasars Arena. This neighborhood is also home to the longstanding Majestic Theatre, a sprawling complex with two live music venues. Dally in the Alley is Detroit’s largest community festival and takes over Cass Corridor every September. Live music pulses from several stages, and crowds gather in troves while the good times roll. Dally goers shop at vendors, enjoy fresh food and dance the night away. WSU football, basketball and baseball games draw crowds of fans every year, and the Wayne State Farmers Market offers fresh, locally-grown produce at low prices. The college also hosts concerts and plays throughout the year in the newly constructed Hilberry Gateway. Woodward, which runs through the center of Midtown, is home to Detroit’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, Turkey Trott and more. The Detroit Main Library, located on Cass, is the largest and oldest library in Detroit and hosts several events throughout the year for residents of all ages.

Multi-family and single-family homes
Although there are a handful of single-family homes, Midtown mostly consists of condos, townhouses, apartments and duplexes. "Midtown probably has the highest density of multi-family homes in Detroit," says Fogelman. Historic options built in the late 1800s and early 1900s are the most common finds, although there are a few newer developments. For instance, the West Canfield Historic District is a strip of Victorian, Gothic Revival, and Queen Anne homes situated on a tree-lined, cobblestone road. "Detroit has a beautiful architectural history," says Fogelman. "The city is the land of single-family homes; it's where the American dream happened."On the other hand, newly constructed Eco-homes and tiny homes are starting to replace open, empty lots. Most apartment buildings, townhouses, two-family flats and condo complexes are brick and stone with concrete walkups. They’re also generally Victorian, Gothic Revival and Queen Anne influenced, although there are a few newer and industrial-like options. The inventory of single-family homes is low, but prices range between $215,000 and $800,000. Condos, townhouses and duplexes, on the other hand, cost between $255,000 and $840,000.

Few parks to choose from
The area isn't known for its green spaces, but there are several pocket parks throughout the neighborhood. Tolan Park is near the DMC and is never too crowded. Offering newly remodeled basketball courts, a well-kept playground and a shaded pavilion, this park is the ideal spot to spend summer days. Midtown Dog Park allows for four-legged friends to have a bit of off-leash fun. Cass Park is also a short drive away and features a tree-lined walking path and shaded spaces for picnics and book reading.

Spain Elementary and Cass Tech
Nearby public schools include Spain Elementary-Middle School, which has a C-minus rating from Niche and serves kids from kindergarten through eighth. Midtown is also home to the B-plus-rated Cass Technical High School. Cass is ranked the top public high school in the city and boasts the motto “#1, Second to None”. It’s well known for its rigorous academic requirements and championship-contending sports teams. It’s also one of the few schools in Detroit with a full music and theater program, including a Harp and Vocal ensemble. Cass is one of five examination high schools in Detroit, meaning protentional students have to pass a test in order to gain admission.
