Boynton

I saw a bit of this neighborhood both while traveling I-75 to head to Lincoln Park in my former IT career, and because it was right next to the Oakwood Heights neighborhood we used to drive through to get back and forth to one of the treatment plants there.

The whole area is decidedly working class. The homes look average as far property values, but they were kept up well by Detroit area standards. There of course were people commuting to industrial area in the next neighborhood over, but it seemed like allot of this neighborhood were employed in the Oakwood Heights area plants and factories. You see some of the same people and cars going back and forth.

The buses run pretty regular along Schaefer, as far as public transit goes. What I used to do was get on I-75 when I wanted to head back to the northwest side, so I was glad it was there. Outer Drive is another main Detroit road and you could take that as well if you wanted to connect to I-94.

A couple parks were scattered here and there, but not much else. In general, not much going around here, but the neighborhood is decent if you needed to live there.

When you look at the average age of the residents of Boynton you can see that it is an older community. Many who live here are a bit older and may very well be original owners. There aren't a lot of updates here, but there is a lot of community spiriti.

This is a community that happnes to be quite accessible to everything. It is located just off of the I-75 expressway and is therefore close to everything. It's easy to access and is actually closer to the Downriver community than the Detroit city limits. This may be a desirable feature to some that don't want to pay a lot for city living but want the covenience of it.

If you are interested in living in an older community then this could be a great fit. It is conveniently located close to many of the amenities in the Downriver community and is therefore a nice change from other communities that are more city driven. You can get a lot for your money here too and that counts for a lot in this day and age!
