A true gem in the city’s crown, the Boston-Edison Historic District is one of the most storied and architecturally significant neighborhoods in Detroit. Lined with grand homes built between 1905 and 1925, it was once home to some of Detroit’s most influential figures—think Henry Ford, Berry Gordy, and Sebastian Kresge. Each block feels like a curated collection of American architecture—Colonial Revivals, Tudors, and Mediterranean villas—all preserved with pride and filled with character you simply can’t replicate. Wide, tree-lined streets, a strong sense of community, and proximity to Midtown, Downtown, and the Cultural Center make this neighborhood both peaceful and connected. Just minutes to major thoroughfares like M-10, I-75, and I-94 for super easy commuting. Don’t miss this one!
