Corktown: Detroit's Oldest Neighborhood. 2021. With Historic Michigan Avenue.

A drive down Historic Michigan Avenue in Detroit's oldest neighborhood- Corktown. Then we look at the old houses in the neighborhood that was established in the 1830's by Irish immigrants. Some of the houses are among Detroit's oldest, and are approaching 200 years old.

Corktown is really cleaned up . Nice to see the pride so many folks have in their community.

It's good to see so many old homes preserved. And also, seeing some of the new apartment buildings designed in a classic style. The old styles just have so much character and personality.

The new can’t compare with the old as far as design and structure.Old homes that have been kept up like these make a real neighborhood where it’s just good old home😃thanks for yet another great video 🏆🥇

Wow, I never knew about Corktown. Beautiful period architecture and density.

These types of areas in Detroit should be the focus of the media and videos of Detroit instead of all the doom and gloom of the past. I hope more and more folks start rebuilding other areas of Detroit. Alot of progress has been made already by people.

It peaked at about 2 million in the early '50s, most people concur

Looks really good!! Just like a mid western small town. Maybe the area should secede from Detroit & become Corktown, Michigan..an independent entity?

It just isn’t the same without the works 😢

Is the water mark really necessary?

In 2021, when this was made, yes it was. Since then, changes have been made. Thanks for asking!
