"Simply a very nice neighborhood"
It always amazes me how some of the most rundown, shady parts of town can be so close to such nice, well-kept up neighborhoods. The neighborhood Barton-McFarland is close by and has considerable blight in both it's main and residential streets. Aviation, on the other hand is not far away and is a very nice area. It always seems like the nicest neighborhoods like this one have well-organized, strong neighborhood associations.
Aviation is one of those historic Detroit neighborhoods that began with a lot of German settlers. It is located on the west side of Detroit on Joy Road close to the I-96 freeway. It is one of the farest west neighborhoods in the Detroit area, and is only a few miles away from Dearborn.
The homes in the area have a median value of about $50k or so. There are lots of nice looking brick bungalows on tree lined streets with nice lawns. There are is also ample public transportation and retail outlets along Joy Road, and even more bus stops down at the other edge of the neighborhood, near Tireman.
Also, most neighborhoods with active home owner associations keep crime in the area in check. So that is not a concern for someone looking for a home in the area. One more bonus is that Aviation is only a few miles away from the Dearborn retail district, which includes Fairlane Mall.
