..except dirtier and not "cool".

Located just off of Michigan Ave, this street is home to a bunch of businesses that are not doing as well as the others on Michigan Ave. There are some restuarants, a craft store, ACO hardware, and some others that have held up.

The guy who owns most (if not all) of the buildings, Newman, apparently charges through the roof for rent, and a lot of business aren't able to keep up. About 25% of the commercial space on this street is up for rent.

Located just off of the Ford Historic Homes District, this is a solid residential area. A Farmers market and grocery store are just down the street. A park/pool is within a 5-10 minute walk.

Its a quiet and pleasant neighborhood great for raising a family in.

There aren't too many nearby distractions however; you'll have to travel to one of the bigger streets.

Telegraph is a 45 MPH road featuring many niche stores and fast food stops (such as a '50s style McDonalds), with a couple of sit down restaurants to boast.

Homes here are small and plentiful. Noise is definitely a factor, but my friends who live along Telegraph seem to have gotten used to it, and is not bothered. Elementary and middle schools are located near by; the high schools are farther away.

The coolest thing about this road is that a couple times a year people take out their classic, modified, or just plain fancy cars and drive them up and down this road. Thousands of cars are shown off and people line up along the edge of the road to check out the cars.

Mostly residential area. It's one of the larger residential streets but is surprisingly quiet.

The homes are mostly middle-of-the-run, average homes. People are always outside talking, walking, walking dogs, riding bikes, etc. If you live in West Dearborn you'll probably come across someone you know.

Theres not too much to do along Carlysle; there is a bar where Carlysle meets up with Telegraph and a gym across from that.

This road goes to a myriad of destinations including: two high schools, multiple gas stations, Kroger (grocery store), and the Allen Park shopping district known as "The Hill". The posted speed limit is 35 but drivers tend to gravitate towards 45. It's an extremely convenient road, although fairly unremarkable.

Noise may bother some as traffic volume is fairly high.

Houses range from slummy to very nice, depending on which neighborhood Outer Drive has taken you to, but for the most part are well kept.

Military takes you right through the center of the Ford Historic Homes district. It's a very nice neighborhood (perhaps one of the best in Dearborn) and the prices of the homes reflects. While the prices aren't exactly astronomical, they are higher than you'd typically pay for a Dearborn home.

Further along Military are a couple of churches (I always take this road when I go to church), a very small bakery, and a salon. Not too much excitement here.

This would be a nice place to live if you can afford it. It's a safe and quiet neighborhood.

Dearborn's higher education campuses (Unversity of Michigan and Henry Ford Community College) are located on this road. Fairlane Mall (which holds Dearborn's movie theater) is right across the street and Henry Ford's historic home stands next to the University of Michigan campus.

It's not too bad of a street, but once you start heading into Detroit the neighborhood gets a little sketchy. If by any chance you are ever headed that way, make sure you heed the 35 MPH speed limit because a Detroit cop is always on that city limit with a radar gun at the ready.

If you go to college in Dearborn, chances are you will be using this road. Aside from the mall, there isn't too much to do for fun here. The good thing is that Michigan Ave is less than a mile away.

The only reason for anyone to ever drive on this road would be so that they can access the multitudes of stores located in the area. The actual road is horrible. It sports some monster size potholes. In the winter, some areas of this street go unplowed and people tend to go sliding if they're not careful.

People seem to forget how to drive here. I once saw a lady come through my one way turnaround and continue on through driving on the wrong side of the street.

There are some pretty good stores here though. Some notables that I have visited most often include Best Buy, Radio Shack, and Borders Books. They've also recently opened a new food court by Best Buy, however I've yet to go and try it out.

All in all, avoid this road if you don't intend to brave a few dangers in order to get to your favorite store.

I've lived on this street most of my life and overall it has been a pretty pleasant experience. The only con of living on a main residential street is that while convenient, cars parked in front of your house overnight have gotten hit by careless/drunk drivers. Otherwise there are plenty of convenience stores, gas stations, farmer's markets, places to order pizza, salons, parks, schools, etc near by. There is a bus stop down the street, however buses don't come by too often because public transportation has traditionally been frowned upon, being next to Motor City.

Neighbors are friendly and diverse. Everyone smiles and waves at each other but its not too common to stop and chat. There are no wild parties and for the most part, everyone is respectful of the other.

Overall it's not a bad place to live.

Michigan Ave is the heart of Dearborn. Everything from stores, restaurants, and city buildings (such as City Hall or the Dearborn Preforming Arts Center) is located on this street. It's known as the city's "cool place" and gives off a big city feel in this smaller town.

New stores seem to open every few days and there's always some adventure to be had. Some (if not most) of Dearborn's best restaurants can be found along this street. On top of it all, Michigan Ave also boast an impressive night life.

Not only is it a prime location for commercial purposes but just recently lofts have been introduced in the middle of the mix.

The only thing to be weary about is the actual road. It is very worn and beaten up from the huge volume of traffic it faces every day and has gotten a reputation for having some of the meanest potholes around.
