"The best thing about this neighborhood is having a mechanic (Los Altos) and a store (Dorbys) right around the corner within walking distance. However, if you plan to move here I recommend buying and not renting as some landlords are pure slumlords. "

"The diverse people and the food mostly. Southwest Detroit is known for being a mostly working class part of the city, with its population being mostly made up of Polish and Hungarian people, Latinos, Blacks, and other minority groups. With that, the culture is very diverse, with various opportunities to find good food, music, and art to enjoy. It's much richer here than anywhere else in Wayne county. I'd go so far to say it's more culturally diverse here than in most places in Michigan. "

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAOA has been a godsend for our student! The teachers care deeply about his wellbeing (and that of his classmates) and pay close attention to individual student needs. They have built an inclusive and welcoming environment in the classroom and throughout the school, and give parents the opportunity to engage in a way that works for them. AOA is an incredible environment and we're so glad we chose it for our child.Parent Review1y ago - Clemente, Roberto Academy
