You Wanna Be in the Know? A Deep Dive into Detroit's Neighborhoods (and How Many There Actually Are)
Let's face it, Detroit's got soul. From Motown legends to the stunning architecture, there's a certain je ne sais quoi that makes this city hum. But with all that history and sprawl, you might be wondering: just how many neighborhoods are we talking about here?
Hold onto your hats, trivia buffs, because this is where things get interesting...
Getting an exact number is trickier than paralleling a double-parked car on a Friday night. There's a reason they call 'em "neighborhoods" and not "neatly-defined-districts-with-clear-cut-boundaries-ville." Some neighborhoods have been around for ages, with long-established borders known by every Detroit native. Others are more like that cool new band everyone's buzzing about – their rep is spreading, but the lines are a little blurry.
