The Warrington's guide to Detroit
Neighborhoods
One of Detroit's most centrally located neighborhoods occupied with 1,200 single family homes that were built mainly during the "golden age of housing" from 1925-1930 and 1937-1941 when construction technology was highly developed, building costs were low, and old world craftsmen were in plentiful supply!The homes reflect a wide variety of styles: English Tudor, Romanesque, Italianate, Spanish Mission, French Provincial, Queen Anne, Georgian, Federalist, Art Moderne, and contemporary.
The predominant Tudor style, consistent setbacks, rear-of-lot garages, and mature shade trees provide a coherent design aesthetic that gives the University District its distinctive visual identity. Interior features include intricate plasterwork, leaded or stained glass windows, oak paneled libraries, hand-pegged hardwood floors, one or more fireplaces, Pewabic Pottery tile, and crystal chandeliers.
The District also includes two small apartment buildings and 80 duplex homes, many of which are occupied by University faculty and graduate students.
Enjoy morning walks in this beautiful historic neighborhood with some of the largest homes Detroit has to offer, a diverse range of people (racially, socially, and financially) accompanied with eccentric and unique architecture from an era when builders and architects took true pride in their work and reputation.
If you鈥檙e a fan of design & architecture this is an opportunity that you wont want to miss.
- Enjoy your morning coffee or tea on the small patio bistro table and admire the eccentricities accentuated with the unique architecture of Gesu Catholic School standing since 1925 - JUST Gorgeous!
5 minutes from the Detroit Golf Club and Rocket Mortgage Classic PGA tour.
Only 10 - 15 Minutes away from Downtown Detroit, Midtown , Ferndale, Royal Oak, Southfield, East Detroit, and many other cities in the metropolis.
