"Definitely Room for Improvement"
The homes have never been the issue here but the surrounding areas most certainly have. This is an area where the homes have always been relatively well taken care of, but unfortunately the area itself has gone downhill. The good news is that it is an area within Detroit that is getting some attention and therefore there is hope that it will become a more vibrant area.
Crime is rather high here and so this deters a lot of people. There are a good amount of closed businesses, abandoned buildings, and therefore a lot of areas for people up to no good to hang out within. There isn't much in terms of stores, restaurants, or amenities to speak of. Though there used to be some good choices many of them have recently shut down.
It's not necessarily a desirable area but with the recent attention of city officials and the potential for some great revitalization many people are taking a second look. There is a lot that can be done here, particularly since most of the homes were never an issue.
You can get a lot for your money and that may be attractive to potential investors. If the efforts really prove to be successful then this may very well turn out to be a great spot in town to live in.

"Residential area is ok, steer clear of main streets"
One of our teenage family members lives on Sunset Street with his dad and his granddad. Whenever we are in town we go pick him up to hang out with the rest of the kids.
Sunset is a couple of blocks away from the corner of 7 mile and Ryan. There are two gas stations on this corner, and there is nothing but rowdy activity going on at both of them. Loud, junky cars with loud rowdy passengers shoot in and out of the parking lot and speed of into traffic. When you get out to pump your gas, your eyes are darting around, making sure you see everything that is going on around you. There is way too much riff-raff around here. I try to get my gas elsewhere if I can help it.
There are a bunch of closed down shops close to this intersections as well, going down 7 mile. It is just an eyesore to be honest. They just contribute to the whole rundown look of the area.
Once you get into the residential areas however, the neighborhood looks ok. Cars are parked along the streets in front of the house, but the grass is cut, and the garbage gets taken out. Everything looks pretty clean.
