"Pretty average part of town"
My friend Darryl lived in this part of the city for a year I think. We used to go to Club Yesterday's which is right across the freeway, and I remember being slightly envious that he didn't have far to go when it was time to leave.
That was about all I envied about the neighborhood. He actually lived in a nice enough looking house over on Appleton, and his neighbors did their best to keep up their homes as well. But like so many Detroit neighborhoods, the riff-raff is never far away. Up and down Telegraph the knuckleheads are racing their cars and blaring their music at all hours. When you are trying to make that "Michigan U-turn" to go from south to north on Telegraph, they will as soon run your car off the road then let you into traffic.
Another thing I didn't like about the area was that there was way too many fast food establishments lined up and down Telegraph. You would have had to go up a couple miles to find a quality grocery store, like the one in K-mart. But overall his neighborhood itself wasn't terrible.
There are schools, parks, and public transportation located throughout the area. And of course I-96 is right there. So if you can find a decent home in the area and you want to live in Detroit, this area might be a so-so option.

"Hope for the Future"
This is one of those neighborhoods within Detroit where you see some potential. Though not a lot of houses are selling, the average cost is going up. Many are hopeful that perhaps the worst has already come for this area of town that is in need of a bit of revitalization.
There is hope that this once thriving community will get back to that status with the right help and tools. It has great amenities nearby such as a shopping area and access to the main expressway running through it. It has nearby parks and was once a popular place for people to live who worked at the Detroit Diesel headquarters.
It is hopeful that the best is yet to come as many look to an area such as this with the desire for a better future. You can however get in on a great investment here and that makes it a good choice for those that can invest and perhaps work on a house that is in need of it.
