"Not the Best but Not the Worst"
Overalll this is definitely not the best part of town, but it's certainly not the worst either. On one hand you have some great parks nearby which is a draw for families with children. You will also find that you can get a lot for your m oney here. In terms of nightlife or amenities there isn't much directly in the community, but you're not too far from anything else.
You will find that in this location you aren't far from areas such as Oak Park or even Ferndale and that offers some great dining and shopping options. Though you do have to leave the community to get to them they aren't far. It's an area where you can get a good house for a low price, but you will also find that there is a great need for revitalization here too.
This is one of those areas that isn't bad enough that it would be the first to get money towards revitalization. Unfortunately it doesn't have that much to offer directly and so it's not necessarily drawing in a lot of people on their own.

"A decent enough area by Detroit standards"
My friend Antonio used to live about a quarter mile north of 8 mile and Roselawn. I and my other friends used to go over to his house to just hang out. We spent some time in the area so I know the neighborhood well. When you go there you see lots of small houses neatly lining both sides of the street. I was pleasantly surprised at how well the neighbors kept up their lawns and property in general. I did see a lot of '"for sale" signs on lawns whenever I was around there, so people were looking to move on for some reason.
In general it is a quiet neighborhood. 8 mile Rd is right there so that has its pluses and minuses. The pluses were that gas stations, party stores, fast food restaurants, and other little shops are just a stone's throw away. Also, Northland Mall is only about a mile and half in way if you cross Eight Mile north into Southfield. And like I mentioned 8 mile is close by so you have traffic noise and a lot of police traffic stops with the flashing lights. Since its 8 mile you do have your assortment of "street people" wandering around, which doesn't make you feel very safe.
Henry Ford Hospital is close to this neighborhood, which is another plus. Overall it wasn't a bad neighborhood to socialize in, and that's saying something in Detroit.
