Detroit's Indian Village
Oct 20, 2019 14:22:42 #
Detroit, like most other cities, has both the beautiful and the ugly. When you see pictures of Detroit most often it is the fallen-down, empty, abandoned, ugly side. I'm not sure why, but maybe it's the same psychology that makes us prefer to take photos of old falling down barns instead of the bright shiny new ones. Anyway, there are several historic areas with desirable, older homes being maintained and cared for that few see outside of Detroit. One is known as Indian Village. By the way, the largest, most valuable home there is for sale if anyone is interested. Only 1.3 million. Here are a few homes in Indian Village. The last one happens to be my son's home.

Grew up in Detroit & lived there for 40 years. Many beautiful neighborhoods. Indian Village one of the nicest. Still miss Detroit.
Nice photos of an area of a much maligned city that is on the way back.

In the heydays of the auto industry there was a lot of money - and good jobs - in Detroit.

Very fine photos! I lived in Detroit 1942-1960--it was a pretty nice city then. No longer have any kinfolk living there, but I do have one in Redford I've visited a few times.

Lovely homes. I grew up in Detroit suburbs but know Indian Village too. Sadly, Detroit is but one example of the economic divide in the US. We visited last month. There are signs of revival and many gems in a much-maligned grand old city.

I grew up in Detroit and lived not so far from Indian Village. Indeed the homes are very nice. Too bad the surrounding streets are so bad. Perhaps these streets are now meadows. No one could pay me to live in Detroit now.

Been there several times. It is a shame that the neighboring streets have some homes in need of serious attention.

I live in a Northern Detroit suburb, never drove thru "Indian Village", I think it is right off Woodward Ave. Around 6 or 7 mile roads. Surprised it has survived all these years as a well kept up neighborhood of Detroit, that is a Good thing for sure

In my years in Detroit I never heard of "Indian Village" nor driven through that area. I lived in the northwest section of the city, near the edges.

The streets labelled as Indian Village are directly across the river from Belle Isle. My old neighborhood along West Outer Drive/ Seven Mile and the adjacent sides street are is somewhat poor condition. A portion of Livernois was once called the Avenue of Fashion today it looks very, very rundown. However, my old High School, UofD, looks great and has recently expended.
The suburbs and the immediate downtown areas are looking pretty good with lots of neighborhood revitalization. The downtown area starting from Wayne State to the myriad sports complexes is growing with young people and a look of rebirth.

Silveralls, You are thinking of the Palmer Park, Palmer Woods area.
