Regent Park

This is a neighborhood that varies a bit based on how far you get into it. When you are close to the 8 Mile portion it's not as great, but it seems to get better and better as you move inward. So it's a little bit unusual but even the worst area is still not bad. It's not that it's unsafe, it's just perhaps in need of a few updates.

This is great because it's close to a lot including some nice parks and recreational areas, and that means a lot to familes with kids who can enjoy it. All of these areas are safe and very popular in the warmer months. The area also happens to be close to some great neighboring communities and that makes it a great fit for families as well.

You will find that this area is not only easy enough to get to, but also that it has some great amenities within it. You can get to everything from stores to restaurants and you're even close to some decent nightlife. You really can't go wrong when you figure that the cost of homes here is really good for homeowners.

This is another area of the city that many should look to in terms of what could be. Sure there are areas within here that could use a bit of updating but it's all worth it when you get into the heart of it. This is an area that many would be happy with and for which the attractions and location could be a draw in and of itself.

Regent Park represents a neighborhood on the true Northern border of the city. Just off of the major 8 Mile thoroughfare, the community can get noisy from traffic and population around the six lane road. With a major shopping center and a to major streets – Kelly and Gratiot – bordering it, it is not short on entertainment or dining, and the area is even catered to by a number of Public schools both inside and outside of the city limits.

The neighborhood is within walking distance of a recreation center, the Eastpointe City Center, and is not far from Warren, Harper Woods, Grosse Pointe and Eastpoint. With a Target and a Lowe’s, a major shopping mall (Eastland), and a number of apartment and condominium complexes very close by or within the neighborhood, Regent Park is one that continues to thrive.

The atmosphere is a bit bleaker right off of 8 mile, or just a block inward, but further South the community opens up into a number of relatively safe residential areas, and places filled with families and often many children. East of the areas known from Eminem’s “8 Mile” movie, it is one of the safest outside of the immediate downtown area, and is one of the busiest on the periphery of the city.
