Industry, affordability and investments in South Warren
Southeast Warren is the most affordable neighborhood in Warren—and one of the fastest growing. While it, along with Southwest Warren, was largely overlooked as recently as 10 years ago, there’s a transformation moving through it. Edyta Raganiewicz is a Realtor with Century 21 Curran & Oberski and says Southeast Warren’s affordability, investment options and growing commercial districts are why it has appealed to both investors and homebuyers in the last five years.“It’s only going to get better,” she says. “If you want to purchase, start looking because [the homes] won’t always be as affordable.” While the other three sections of the city are predominantly owner-occupied, this corner is mostly renter-occupied. It’s also heavily industrial, with nearly 50% of its land being occupied by manufacturers. These two factors make Southeast Warren a popular option for first-time buyers who might later choose to move north of Interstate 696, which is quieter and more suburban.
Southeast Warren is known for its stock of affordable small to medium sized homes.
Southeast Warren is home to a number of auto parts suppliers and other industrial companies.

Interstate 696, walking, and industrial employers
While residents can walk to school, stores and parks, most people still own at least one car. Interstate 696 borders the neighborhood to the north and meets with Interstate 75 and 94 just outside of city limits. Seven SMART bus routes, including Van Dyke, Nine Mile and Eighth Mile 17, also run through the area. Detroit Metro Airport is located 30 miles southwest. Various manufacturers and truck driving companies, including Syncreon and Universal Logistics Holdings, create dozens of blue-collar careers for the area. Ascension Macomb - Oakland Hospital Warren Campus is about 3 miles north of Southeast Warren and offers 24-hour emergency care and specialty services.
Affordable minimal traditional houses
Much like Southwest Warren, Southeast Warren offers a mix of minimal traditional and bungalow homes, as well as multi-family options. The primary difference is that there are more vinyl-sided homes as opposed to Southwest Warren’s brick, and houses are slightly less expensive. Most houses were built in the 1950s and 60s, and while many have been flipped, there are still many with classic characteristics. With homes selling between $20,000 and $350,000, prices in Southwest Warren are far more accessible than on the north side, but they have consistently risen over the past five years. “Prices went up everywhere, but the growth is definitely happening on the south side,” Edyta says. “The north remains cool. It wasn’t impacted a lot other than the price change, whereas, in the south, I can see things happening daily.” Investor specials are found on the lower end of the price spectrum, generally ranging between $20,000 and $100,000, while move-in ready homes start at $103,000. There is a train track running diagonally through Southeast Warren that causes noise pollution for residents close by.

New businesses create a sense of hope and transformation
There are several shopping districts in and around Southeast Warren, one of the largest being Hoover Road. Over the past five years, the thoroughfare has transformed, with various restaurants, stores and services popping up. The strip mall Hoover Eleven has seen the most change and is now home to Kroger, Dunham's Sports, Home Depot and more. East 8 Mile has seen an expansion in locally owned businesses such as Valentino's Diner, a laid-back eatery that used to be Detroit’s Finest Coney Island. While the restaurant has been rebranded, it still serves classic coney dogs alongside an upgraded menu. Van Dyke is the busiest, largest commercial road in Warren and borders this neighborhood to the west. It has also grown exponentially in recent years, attracting investors to its once vacant south side buildings. “People that couldn’t afford to start their businesses five years ago, now they can because the South is still more affordable than the North,” Edyta says. Newer establishments, such as Warren Kabob and Al’s Barbershop, sit adjacent to longstanding spots, such as Hot Shots Sports Bar, creating a walkable area with varying options.
