"Needs Some Attention"
This is not the area of town that you want to live in if you are looking for a safe and sound environment with tons of amenities. Though it does have a shopping center nearby, that's about it. There aren't many restaurants nearby and certainly no real nightlife to speak of.
More than that, this is an area that is in need of some attention. It simply doesn't have the luster that it once did and therefore it doesn't have the residents moving into the area that it once did either. It is located near some of the major roads in town, particularly 8 Mile, but you do have to drive a bit to get to anything worth noting.
You can get a lot for your money, but even potential investors are finding that the area simply isn't that desirable. It has some houses that need to have work done on them and overall just looks rundown. It could use some attention and therefore it is hopeful that some of the revitalization efforts will head this way in the long term.

"Slightly below average neighbor the farther away from 8 mile"
My cousin lived with his stepdad for a short while in this neighborhood. He didn't like him, so he didn't stay with him very long. I used to pick him up every now and then. His stepdad still lives here on Dresden Street.
He told me that he used to see guys selling drugs about a block away from the house. He didn't know these guys, so he minded his own business. He also told me that when he needed to ride the bus, he would try to time it where he arrived at the bus stop as soon as the bus arrived, as he didn't like waiting around, especially in the predawn mornings.
Other than that, he didn't have much to complain about. He even got a job at a party store close to his house, but I don't remember the name of it. And he used to go to the Bel-Air shopping center that is in the next neighborhood over. When I was in that neighborhood with him, I didn''t feel all that comfortable.
Some of the houses on the streets looked bad, and others looked ok. Too often though, you saw boarded up houses and lawns that had knee high weeds. I would not have wanted to live there, and I am glad he didn't stay there long.
