I just love Detroit.. My late fiance’ lived in Grosse Pointe (I’m from Toledo Ohio) and let me tell you, Detroit is a hidden Gem… I was just floored at the beauty there.. I see this wonderful city with such brand new eyes.. I miss you each and every day my love..RIP❤️
Very nice and accurate info on the historical Detroit Neighborhood. Also, here's a few other neighborhoods you may not have known about that's REALLY close to Palmer Woods, Sherwood Forests, and Green Acres. I used to live in the former!
I really liked this video. I currently work in warren and I’m looking to move closer to cut down my commute. I’m now considering places in Detroit because of these videos.
That’s crazy you feature the house in Indian village. It is such a beautiful house and has such great history. I worked with the buyer to get this house and the seller let me know some cool stories about the home!
On the west side, I like Rosedale Park and even old Redford for good neighborhoods. Riverside and East English Village are not bad either. Some places in EEV will even get you Grosse Pointe schools.
Lots of interesting neighborhoods in the city. Have to do something about the perception of crime. Went to school in the city for 4 years and never saw any crime. The violent crime seems to be mostly among people who know each other.
I grew up in Northwest Detroit not far from Mercy High School and College at that time. Everything was close by and walkable. Rosedale was and still is a great neighborhood area. And W. Outer Drive is a great boulevard. I used to redesign my bike all the way to Rouge Park as a kid.
My grandparents lived in Detroit. I have letters addressed to them on Brush Street and others. I even found a picture of their house when it wasn’t quite finished. My grandfather and great grandfather owned a butcher shop called Wesley and sons. I still have the knives he used. I’m interested in Detroit history. My grandmother was part of the upper class. I have her furniture that she bought at a prominent Detroit furniture store. It is still in good condition. I still have relatives there. The Fordons. I still need to send them family pictures and letters. After hearing my grandmother’s stories, I would love to see Detroit and some of the old addresses. I love your videos.
Isn’t THAT the case for ANYWHERE expensive home are …. If you feel the need to complain about the price of homes that might interest you perhaps you shouldn’t be looking or considering that area
There were SEVEN FISHER BROTHERS. The home spoke about and the home you showed with Hill Harper were owned by different Fisher's. You spoke about the Palmer Woods home but showed pictures of Hill Harper. The Fisher home he bought is in Boston-Edison.
I've been interested in Detroit for years, but I've taken it more seriously this year. I've made the decision to move there, but I'm stuck between buying a home or just renting. Either way I need to escape my current area that I've lived in my whole life. Anyways, I'm wondering what my options are for buying a home, seeing as some are move-in ready and cheap (some even under $50k), but mortgage companies don't seem to give out mortgages that small. Saving up that much would take years. Are there any programs there? Do you have any recommendations for me?
I would if I managed to win the lottery. I am poor in the suburbs of Detroit. Which things are starting to flip around. I would love to live in those areas, but for most of us who are poor. The housing prices are just gotten to ridiculous. My mom and dad both were born in Detroit. We went to downtown Detroit a lot along with Royal Oak. I love to see the life coming back into the city. Honestly, I think it was my parents generation even mine which has to really pass off to allow the city to really blossom. I don't want it to boom, but blossom. As booms come and go, but if you build it up well over time it can really be a beacon of light to the rest of the country. As big cities all begin to slide down and population number begin to dip. Detroit will be the city still alive and doing better for having to go through some seriously hard times first.
You plan on doing a video on Ann Arbor & Ypsilanti real estate? Ann Arbor and and it’s surrounding suburbs have been getting real expensive. There are some houses in Ann Arbor that are going at Bloomfield Hills-level prices too.
Awesome video but you totally missed out on a hand full of neighborHOODs in Detroit that should have been on this video!!!! Like North Rosedale Park, University Park, Bagley, Winship, or even far west Detroit parkland!!!
Congrats 👏 for your information would like to know whether lansing capital of ml is the best to live how is it safe in teams of security, watching from Kenya Nairobi City
Thank you for highlighting the great neighborhoods in Detroit. Other affluent neighborhoods in Detroit include Sherwood Forest, University District, North Rosedale Park, and The Joseph Berry Subdivision. Also, the Fisher Mansion is not in Palmer Woods. It's actually on the southeast side in a neighborhood called Jefferson Chalmers.
Yes, certainly some pocket area of very nice, older homes. But don't forget the 50,000 homes that are abandoned and still need to be torn down...those pocket areas are surrounded by them. Since it costs about $20,000 per tear down, it will be YEARS before they will be. And the city will be gentrified with new construction; current residents are moving to the older "ring suburbs like Harper Woods, East Pointe, St. Clair Shores, Oak Park, and Southfield. Just sayin'.
Well HIS business is IN DETROIT NOT DENVER and housing in New York and CALIFORNIA can be MORE that what is paid in ( what city are you gloating about ? ) oh … My bad denver 😒
Everyday you here drive by shooting shooting at gas stations. That's why the bad rap. Your still young talk to somebody that grew up in Detroit in the 50'd and 60's around the southfield and west Chicago area, it was beautiful and safe. My sister in her early teens would go downtown with her girlfriends on busses and spend the whole day down there and parents didn't have to worry. Sure look at all the money they put in downtown but I am sorry I just do not want to shop in those nice store and fancy restaurants with black people trying to act rich.
There is more to Palmer Woods than what you showed that is on Pontchartrain between McNIchols and Seven Mile Roads. Palmer Woods extends further west towards Livernois, and continues to 8 mile Road between Woodward Avenue and Livernois. There is also West Outer Drive just west of Seven Mile and Livernois with a variety of stylish homes built after World War II when the city incorporated that section leading up to the Wayne County line at 8 Mile. But you did not show those homes. One of them was owned by Barry Gordy, Jr., founder of Motown. And off W. Outer Drive on Santa Barbara, the street I used to live on, was the former home of Motown Recording Star, Smokey Robinson. While your enthusiastic pitch may seem engaging, the you are skirting the real issue as to WHY Detroit has had a bad rap. If you are willing to take it, I will tell you. It is Racism. The impression given to the public and perpetuated by the media is based on the tremendous Black impoverishment, illiteracy rate, dysfunctional family structures, and associated crime. When I was in the Navy and it was learned that I was from Detroit, I would be asked, "what part?" I said, the west and northwest sides. I would get blank stares. A member of my unit was from Gobles, Michigan who turned up his nose at Detroit saying, "It's all Black!: I responded to him saying, "I've been to Gobles, and I've seen Black people there." I had a Navy Chief say he was "astonished" when he learned that I came from "the inner city of Detroit!" He then went on to ask why my speech is the way that it is, meaning, he couldn't understand why coming from Detroit that I did not speak in Ghetto lingo or Ebonics. This was clearly a Racist perception, and an attempt to place a Racial category on me fed by impressions created by main stream media. At the same time, the city of Detroit did nothing about its own public image or do any positive public relations to cultivate a positive image. So it's a two way "street" in this. Aside from the tremendous Tax Base loss with businesses leaving the city, the first step toward revitalizing the city of Detroit is to come to terms with the concept of diversity and make some serious changes in social attitudes. This is the primary reason why Detroit lost its Middle Class, and with specific reference, the Black Middle Class, which also left for the suburbs. I am sure that you are unaware of untold stories like these. But having lived through them, I believe I have credibility because I am am not an outsider.
I almost hate to look at the comments… because I KNOW it’s going the be a LOT of the who’s WHO’S of the HATERS ~ the video was shorter than expected but it was geared towards the ones with the largest older single family neighborhoods. Good job just too short
I’m from Detroit. I can tell you with 100% confidence stay away from it. It’s not great and the people are not nice. It sucks the life out of everything
I believe Samantha Woll and a doctor that was recently murdered in one of the best neighborhoods, Rumors floating around about a lesbian Wayne County Prosecutor did a Gil Hill on Samantha.
Global Warming I guess. I love Dearborn, but it's been decades since I have been in Detroit....... it was pretty bad then. Also have been to Grand Rapids, but that's like a totally different world ! Boston-Edison is the pocket I am more drawn to.
As well as a GOOD NUMBER of OTHER CITIES across this ENTIRE NATION ….. ESPECIALLY where the wealth has picked up and moved across seas somewhere to improve the bottom line of those businesses and there stock holders removing JOBS and there TAX BASE
So why are you here ? Other than to spew your hateful comments about a city that was systematically abandoned with the help of the FEDERAL and STATE GOVERNMENT making it convenient and easy for your race to flee while BANNING Black folks from moving to those outlining areas .. taking the BUSINESS , JOBS and TAX BASE with them …. Leaving it to be only a SHELL of what was once a TOP TIER city . And not to begin to talk about how that affects the state in general Many businesses become aware of the divisiveness of. Michigan and chose NOT to come make this a place where they want to do business .

Absolutely I would move here! Detroit has some of the best built homes in the country
I love this! And you didn't even mention North Rosedale Park of Historic Grandmont areas! Thank you for showing off my city!
I love my city. Thank you for this.
👍👍👍👍
I just love Detroit.. My late fiance’ lived in Grosse Pointe (I’m from Toledo Ohio) and let me tell you, Detroit is a hidden Gem… I was just floored at the beauty there.. I see this wonderful city with such brand new eyes.. I miss you each and every day my love..RIP❤️
To me, Detroit has one of the most beautiful homes in the country. ..I'm looking into buying a home there.
Agreed! You should!
Metro Detroit citizen. Just found your channel. Cool!
Thank you for watching!! 😃😃😃
Beautiful homes! Thanks for not just focusing on the burbs, great list.
Detroit had at one point I believe some of the most expensive homes in the whole country outside of LA and Manhattan.
I believe it!
Detroit still has the richest suburbs in the USA
Very nice and accurate info on the historical Detroit Neighborhood. Also, here's a few other neighborhoods you may not have known about that's REALLY close to Palmer Woods, Sherwood Forests, and Green Acres. I used to live in the former!
Good for you hotshot

That's amazing! Such a cool home!!

More Detroit videos please!!
I love Detroit! From Orlando!
Lots of interesting neighborhoods in the city. Have to do something about the perception of crime. Went to school in the city for 4 years and never saw any crime. The violent crime seems to be mostly among people who know each other.
What an eye opener ! Thank you

Wow happy to hear from you 😊 🎉
Lol the hot dog reminded me why I love your videos Paul!
😂😂 thanks man

Those are beautiful neighborhoods
Yeah they are!! So many great neighborhoods in Detroit
I love it. From Rochester mi
Beautiful
The price is just the beginning. Property taxes, home owners insurance, car insurance and security costs for those areas are astronomical!
Agreed! It gets crazy when that's factored in.
Well for most folk’s entertaining THESE PRICE POINTS I’m assuming are fully AWARE of additional cost of home ownership
Isn’t THAT the case for ANYWHERE expensive home are …. If you feel the need to complain about the price of homes that might interest you perhaps you shouldn’t be looking or considering that area
There were SEVEN FISHER BROTHERS.
The home spoke about and the home you showed with Hill Harper were owned by different Fisher's. You spoke about the Palmer Woods home but showed pictures of Hill Harper. The Fisher home he bought is in Boston-Edison.
Don't forget that Boston Edison used to be home to Berry Gordy.
True!
Wasn't that Fisher mansion in Palmer Wood's later the Bishop's home for the Catholic diocese?
What would be some good secondary neighborhoods that aren’t quite this bougie but close? Somewhere between $250-$450 range?
In Detroit or the burbs? We should chat if you want to move paul@movingmi.com

The guy with the selling things on sinking ships probably thought that sounded brilliant in his head lmao. What a bafoon 😂
Thank YOU for YOUR COMMENT ….. perfect rebuttal !
You plan on doing a video on Ann Arbor & Ypsilanti real estate? Ann Arbor and and it’s surrounding suburbs have been getting real expensive. There are some houses in Ann Arbor that are going at Bloomfield Hills-level prices too.
Definitely, eventually. So many areas to cover.
One correction though: The Berry Gordy Mansion was actually the most expensive house to sell in Boston-Edison. It sold for $1.65 million in 2018.
These are the highest sale prices in the past year 😄
@Paul Wolfert I missed that part, but yeah
Prices HAVE BEEN INCREASING !
Awesome video but you totally missed out on a hand full of neighborHOODs in Detroit that should have been on this video!!!! Like North Rosedale Park, University Park, Bagley, Winship, or even far west Detroit parkland!!!
Hints He is NOT from the D soooooo... Yeah he MISSED is cause he probably didn't know about these areas. Love my city
This is is only the most expensive neighborhoods, not the best or most interesting.
Congrats 👏 for your information would like to know whether lansing capital of ml is the best to live how is it safe in teams of security, watching from Kenya Nairobi City
Flint is a great city for you. Move there
The Fisher Mansion is located in the Boston- Edison Historical District not the Palmer Woods Historical District...
You're referring to the Charles Fisher mansion. This is the Alfred Fisher mansion in Palmer woods. It's Detroit's highest sale ever. Both are great!
Detroit is definitely on the come up....
Yes! Does these neighborhoods have rentals
Yep! Most of them do.
No
Thank you for highlighting the great neighborhoods in Detroit. Other affluent neighborhoods in Detroit include Sherwood Forest, University District, North Rosedale Park, and The Joseph Berry Subdivision. Also, the Fisher Mansion is not in Palmer Woods. It's actually on the southeast side in a neighborhood called Jefferson Chalmers.
There's more than one Fisher mansion in Detroit
There were 7 Fisher Brothers.
I would add Brush Park and even Downtown as alternatives for higher priced living in this city
Home of the Pistons ❤
North Rosedale Park is also really beautiful.
Agreed!! North Rosedale is amazing.
I love my city, screw the haters and naysayers!
I SECOND YOUR comment Sir 👍🏿
Do these neighborhoods have their own security.
Nope! that would be pretty cool if they did.
Wait until your auto insurance bill arrives with a Detroit zip code
Yeah. I talk about that in other videos about Detroit.
There are ways around that
What are some AFFORDABLE builders that build on private land?
I own land in the city of Mount Clemens.
Do you know any?
I JUST saw this 😮 - are you still looking for a builder? I have a few in mind.
@@PaulWolfert sure what are they?
@@ChristopherAnderson_90s send an email my way - have a few questions paul@movingmi.com
The Fisher mansion is not in Palmer woods
I know 🤦♂️ realized I had the wrong Fisher mansion in the vid after publishing
@@PaulWolfert loved the video anyway
Are these areas Detroit proper or the suburbs?
This vid is all about Detroit proper
who is that neighbourhood can you tell me that name
What neighborhood are you wondering about?
Yes, certainly some pocket area of very nice, older homes. But don't forget the 50,000 homes that are abandoned and still need to be torn down...those pocket areas are surrounded by them.

not if the Muslim brother hood moves in
My dude, 500K is cheap in comparison to other areas…in Denver a matchbox townhome is 800K….
Well HIS business is IN DETROIT NOT DENVER and housing in New York and CALIFORNIA can be MORE that what is paid in ( what city are you gloating about ? ) oh … My bad denver 😒
WOW YUCK the ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT ARE TAKING OVER DENVER !
MI worst prop taxes
There are definitely states with worse taxes.

I’ll be subscribing to view other DETROIT neighborhoods you may decide to cover..
Thanks! Going to be making more long videos using neighborhood footage and street view soon.
Big houses are spooky!
Big houses might be spooky, but they also have a certain charm. Just make sure you don't get lost in all those rooms!
Obviously he's keeping sherwood forest secret
Dude I'm literally looking up these areas and there are dilapidated hell holes in each of these neighborhoods lmao.
Haha, well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, right? Maybe those dilapidated hell holes have a hidden charm!
I’m from Detroit. I can tell you with 100% confidence stay away from it. It’s not great and the people are not nice. It sucks the life out of everything
STOP LYING you are NOT a resident of Detroit proper the puppy told the WHOLE TRUTH
I believe Samantha Woll and a doctor that was recently murdered in one of the best neighborhoods,
Rumors floating around about a lesbian Wayne County Prosecutor did a Gil Hill on Samantha.
Global Warming I guess.
I love Dearborn, but it's been decades since I have been in Detroit....... it was pretty bad then.
Also have been to Grand Rapids, but that's like a totally different world !
Boston-Edison is the pocket I am more drawn to.
Yeah, tell this to the people that were killed in their beautiful neighborhoods.
If it wasn't for the harsh winters, I could live there.
The past few years have been pretty mild here.
"Expensive" does not mean "Best".
This is going to end badly for alot of people
These are neighborhoods not hoods! Don’t call them hoods! Other wise great video
You do know that hood is short for neighborhood and often referenced to any community where humans dwell.. in this case HOOD does not mean GHETTO.
Detroit's okay just buy an ak..47 and know how to use it
😂😂
I think you’re a ally Paul…
It will all crash soon the stock market, alot of people will be under water in there house again
Detroit is dangerous
As well as a GOOD NUMBER of OTHER CITIES across this ENTIRE NATION ….. ESPECIALLY where the wealth has picked up and moved across seas somewhere to improve the bottom line of those businesses and there stock holders removing JOBS and there TAX BASE
You don’t know what it is about Detroit? It’s been a top 3 most dangerous city in America forever 🤷🏻♂️
Still have some Beautiful neighborhood too.🤷🏽♀️
very true it is , 99 % of the murders are black on black crime , very safe tourist town.
So why are you here ? Other than to spew your hateful comments about a city that was systematically abandoned with the help of the FEDERAL and STATE GOVERNMENT making it convenient and easy for your race to flee while BANNING Black folks from moving to those outlining areas .. taking the BUSINESS , JOBS and TAX BASE with them ….
