by the way where exactly is the manoogian mansion
located,i heard its not far from belle isle,but it must be kind of hidden cause i've never seen it when going to belle isle. |

The Manoogian is south of Jefferson on the water. It is in the Berry sub which is a nice, small sub between Jefferson and the water on the way to Belle Isle. The address is 9298 Dwight Street if you want to mapquest it. |

Rancho Del Rayo
still some investment opportunity there, despite George's passing. |

PS - I shoudl have clarified it is on the way to Belle Isle if you are heading towards downtown on Jefferson.
I guess 'on the way to' depends on which way you are going.  |

I like Rancho Del Rayo Deluxe, too. (same area, a block west)
It's sad to here about George. He was a great booster for Detroit. |

Well it depends on what you call "wealthy."
If "wealthy" is middle class, then Sherwood Forest and East English Village are some. |

Good point but I would say Sherwood Forest is probably upper middle class while EEV is middle to lower middle class. |

Splotches of midtown and downtown are now decidedly geared toward wealthy people (not in the truest sense, but in the sense of people-- usually younger-- with a good stream of income that can be allotted to so-called luxury condos/lofts, or in the sense of some older people with decent savings). It seems to me that the neighborhoods with the highest incomes/average personal wealth are Palmer Woods and Indian Village. |

And with the Manoogian Mansion point, I'm positive there's some middle class wealth along Jefferson Ave.

What's the average demographic of people living in the Gold Coast apartments? I don't know anyone who lives in these buildings, but have occasionally come across listings for purchase of apartments in places like Alden Park Towers. |

Trick question. All Detroit neighborhoods are filled with hoodlums, gangsters, hookers, and crack addicts. Nobody is wealthy in Detroit.

Hubbard farms has some wealth but not like the other areas more like corktown and woodbridge than an indian village. Also Lonyo has some nice sections but not that type of wealth. |

Yes Corktown seems to have a similar demographic dynamic as Midtown, but with a few more families who have been set up there for awhile. Woodbridge (the old part) is the sort of accessible, diverse neighborhood that seems to me to be par for the course for a typical major city-- mix of renters and owners, mix of age groups, mix of incomes (but few really wealthy people if any), reasonably dense-- but we have too few neighborhoods like this in Detroit. Much of Mexicantown, including Hubbard (a great little place but more historically wealthy than presently wealthy), and a few other places like West Village seem to fit this billing. All told, though, it's a very small percentage of our City.
1300 Lafayette has rich people, right? |
