Pulaski

It's unfortunate when an area that is so conveneniently located doesn't have much of a draw. This is just off of the main 8 Mile Road that travels through. It is therefore easy to access public transporation amongst other amenities. The unfortunate thing though is that short of that you don't have much nearby.

You don't have much in the way of restaurants except for a few fast food options--even those seem to be a bit run down. It's a bit of a tired community at best and its best years at this point seem to be behind. The price of housing is good and that could be a draw, but there's just not much else to back it up.

You will find some original homeowners here, as there isn't a lot of new traffic coming into the neighborhood. It's not that its' a bad area, it's just in need of updates and improvements. It needs some new breath breathed into it and until then it's just not going to be a hot spot within the Detroit area.

It is close to some suburbs and perhaps that can offer some attraction to potential buyers. If you want to be within the city limits but close enough to the suburbs then this is a good spot. Just go in knowing that there really isn't much in the way of amenities, attractions, or points of interest within this somewhat tired community.

Just off of East 8 Mile Road, Pulaski is the neighborhood sandwiched between Grosebeck and Gratiot on the city’s east and north sides. Pulaski is not generally looked at as one of the nicer neighborhoods in the city, and can be noisy and busy with traffic and crowds from 8 mile or Gratiot. A number of fast food and dining options, as well as shopping opportunities, are within just a few minutes walk of the neighborhood, but so are a number of areas known to be infested with crimes.

Home values in this neighborhood have remained low, similar to Regent Park right next door. As the neighborhood moves away from Harper Woods from east to west, the communities become a little poorer and a little more bleak. It is more Detroit than suburbs, without the charm and entertainment of the inner city. The Pulaski neighborhood is far enough away from the Eastland shopping center and the nicer neighborhoods of Eastpointe to give it a negative connotation – which it has mostly earned.

The Pulaski area, though, does have a good connection to the rest of the city through Gratiot, offers many bus stops, and is not far from both the De La Salle and Regina schools, as well as East Detroit High School in Eastpointe.
