Characteristics

Transportation

Detroit is rather well-suited for those who get around as pedestrians; most day-to-day needs are easy to meet without a car. Despite the fact that riding is made easier by the generally flat terrain, commuting by bicycle is at times difficult in this city as the cycling infrastructure is fairly poor. The favored method of transportation in Detroit is very often a car. Many real estate listings are a short drive from the nearest highway, such as Chrysler Expy, and it is easy to park. In contrast, the public transit service in Detroit is not very frequent. Nevertheless, property owners can count on plenty of rapid transit stations with access to the Detroit People Mover. There are over 50 bus lines traversing the city, and bus stops are not very far-removed from most properties.

Services

It is a rather short trip to reach both primary and secondary schools from most properties for sale in Detroit. Apart from public schools, there are also private schools at both the elementary and secondary school level. When it comes to eating, a supermarket is ordinarily reachable within a reasonably short pedestrian trip from most properties for sale in Detroit. Moreover, a restaurant is generally just around the corner, for example on Monroe Street, and there are also over 100 coffee shops in Detroit. Home buyers have access to a fair number of clothing stores within a short distance.

Character

Despite the somewhat busy feel, there are a lot of green spaces to enjoy in Detroit. It is easy to access parks in the city, since the majority of homes for sale have one a short distance away. There are over 800 parks nearby for residents to unwind in, like Parkland Community Park and Heilmann Playfield. Finally, thanks to the presence of few pedestrians, this city remains relatively quiet; however those who are closer to Chrysler Expy, Walter P Chrysler Freeway, the airport (Coleman A. Young Muni) or one of the railway lines may experience higher levels of noise.
