Back in the days of when these homes were constructed, it was the immigrants that brought their European craftsmanship from Poland, Germany, Italy, England, Ireland. Framing, and stone masons, and bricklayers, and wood carvers, and marble cutters from Italy. And done with pride. That stands the test of time. Nowadays when you walk into a large custom newbuild, it's no more quality than a new starter home of 1,400 sq ft. Not an ounce of pride goes into the construction, and cheap materials abound.

This is Palmer Woods It was home to some of the wealthiest in Detroit Its adjacent to Sherwood Forest, another beautiful area Some streets that lead in and out are artfully blocked from main thoroughfares to keep it lovely It is breathtaking to behold, in a city that's lost over a million people Detroit is a unique city, but so much has been lost
Palmer Woods. By far the most beautiful subdivision in Detroit. Lived on Argyle Crescent from 1966-71. My grandparents lived on Balmoral from 1942-1975
The world should be us in caves. We were all cave men and women but ever since we evolved from that it has only been getting worse.. our strength has been weaker and etc like ur mom is hot
Its crazy how most tv sitcom families are portrayed as upper middle class people suposedly struggling while living in a mansion compared to how most americans live
We used to ride our bikes through here (Palmer Woods) when I was young. I had friends who lived here. Actually had both my 5th grade graduation party and my high school graduation party here. Many physicians and attorneys. The Crown Jewel neighborhood of the City. Don't be fooled into thinking that Detroit is totally decrepit. It had some bad breaks just like a lot of Midwestern cities. I would probably say the lack of consistent investment and reinvestment in schools, common areas, arts and infrastructure had long term consequences. There are many nice neighborhoods where people take pride in what they have, and the lives they live.
Not to mention WHITE FLIGHT to the suburbs with the help of the Federal and State Government that banned BLACK PEOPLE from taking part in these give aways that included redlining restrictive clauses etc ~ building infrastructure giving low cost mortgage loans that enabled them to remove businesses tax base and population along with political power and last but not least events that were customarily held in the city Most heading out to Oakland County with the effort of L Brooks Patterson
Ban Gorgees The owner of this video literally said that it’s mostly black peoples that live here. Just say you don’t like seeing black people be successful and go.
Detroit is a City thats being restored to a historically modern one of a kind place. Lot of things are being renovated, were not just knocking down evertything. The classic feel is coming to life slowly but surely.. We WILL be One of a kind again. We already are.
I like this guys comment; "You can expect the property in these areas to be kept up because most of them are homeowners", and he is promoting rentals at the same time. Daaaa!
@@st4yclutch391 ever since we were evolved it has only been getting worse, there are tree problems, slavery, and so much more. . I want to test these gangs I will pick them up with my hand and juggle them
Lots of nice neighborhoods in the D. Notoriety of the city stains this. Losing half the population in 4 decades will result in blight. Comeback in progress!!
its called a jersey roll. californians are known for switching lanes with no blinker on the highway right all the way to the left and vice versa, callled the Californian lane change
I can't even imagine trying to live there ,I watch these videos and it gives me an strange feeling just watching the videos, something I can't explain, but these houses do look beautiful 👌
@@brucebeamon5460 Yeah, Brucie, you got enough negative energy there for the rest of the country!! Good luck not getting shot going to the grocery store!!
I've been here. Grosse Pointe and Clinton Township also have some jaw dropping tudor houses. If your from the West Coast, it's worth checking out. I try to make it out to see Detroit once a year. It's cheap, people are way friendlier than you'd expect and it has everything a tourist could need. Dirty and run down, but full of life.
NO IT IS NOT ... there are NICE and PLEASANT areas THOUGH OUT DETROIT for those that are REALLY interested ... But if you look below the surface as to the reason why you feel you MUST BELITTLE this city , the entrenched RACISM which brought on WHITE FLIGHT which was GREATLY HELPED BY the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.. USING All working peoples tax money to make it conveniently easy for ONLY WHITE PEOPLE to escape to the suburbs
Thanks Charlie. It really is a beautiful area. There are some amazing deals on historic homes there for people willing to take a risk. I haven't figured out why they have all the white rocks on the curb lawns though.
Sar Jim Probably to keep people from driving on the lawn. I see rocks, mostly at intersection houses anywhere because of that. Or maybe it's the trendy thing in that area.
GREEN ACRES , university District, Grandmont , Rosedale , Sherwood Forest , Downtown I’m sure I’ve left out some newer Mac mansions off the river Gold Coast area ~
Charlie, what neighborhood is this? I remember this from years ago, was this around 7 mile and Livernois? Cambridge? I can't remember the names of the neighborhoods but I want to say Palmer Woods, Sherwood Forest ?
Some of those homes were acquired by foreclosure, and the current owners can't afford, or choose not to spend money on those properties. Drive there in 10 years, and it will look like any other Detroit neighborhood with rotten boards on the windows, and gutters falling off, and shingles missing, and driveways cracked, and property taxes unpaid. Their incomes can perhaps afford the mortgage payments but there's little else left for repairs and upkeep. This term is not to be taken lightly. 'Repairs and upkeep" is an important component of home ownership. It doesn't exist in many of those households.
This is what ROTTEN MISERABLE probably RACIST MIND SOUNDS LIKE .. Nothing better to do with there time than come on here express there HATE ! Instead of being somewhere improving themselves or someone else’s life it MUST BE GROSS living inside YOUR BODY including your brain !
@@brucebeamon5460 I'm a builder/ contractor and live and work in Detroit. I see these homes attacked with cheap acquisition dollars, and see how may years it takes for the roof to cave in, and bricks to fall off before we have to move to somewhere new. But it won't be new, it will only be cheap enough to live temporarily.
Hey don't be mean! Like a pack of lonely wolves they need love too! As long as they play safe and clean to prevent infection or any. Good thing I'm clean. Ha!
This vlog is three years old. What does it look like during caronavirus? I love a house with character and a Porto cochere. Some of these houses are fortresses.
Detroit's problem, isn't as bad as the racism,they sadly have.The half torn apart houses in the hood,bad school system, violence and blight,are clearer than the Flint waters!!!!!!! Contributing 4.4 billion dollars on a new bridge,rather than fixing the Ambassador, and fixing the housing problems, to me isn't exactly thinking properly
Where did you get WORPED misinformation from .... Detroit is NOT giving this bridge company 4 BILLION dollars to fix the MOST CROSSED BRIDGE in the entire country .. the city does not have 4 billion dollars in there treasury budget. What’s the point of SPREADING RIDICULOUS LIES such as THIS ?
These homes were built by European immigrants that entered the country legally through Ellis Island. Can't get this quality of work from unskilled immigrants sneaking into the country.
dude the worst place here in bavaria/germany looks better than that. Thank god we have good industry like BMW. Your Videos are very interesting and brings the hood a little bit closer to me. Already donated some couple of dollars to you, really amazing work. You should go to the police as an undercovercop :D
Beautiful! Most Midwest states have some of the most gorgeous neighborhoods in the nation. Tall trees, brick homes and lots of greenery.
Back in the days of when these homes were constructed, it was the immigrants that brought their European craftsmanship from Poland, Germany, Italy, England, Ireland.

Yes.
Thanks Charlie. It really is a beautiful area. There are some amazing deals on historic homes there for people willing to take a risk. I haven't figured out why they have all the white rocks on the curb lawns though.
Same. Thought the rocks seemed out of place.
rocks perplexed me as well
Sar Jim Probably to keep people from driving on the lawn. I see rocks, mostly at intersection houses anywhere because of that. Or maybe it's the trendy thing in that area.
people would be shocked to know that we have neighborhoods in Mississippi very similar to this but of course, that's not whats portrayed int the media
What is the name of this neighborhoods?
The most 70’s movies type neighborhood would love to live here miss michigan
idk why but this kinda reminds me of the suburban area of Paterson NJ. Lots of large houses, but either very old or used for non residential purposes
This neighborhood has STRICT CONTROL of what is allowed DEFINITELY NO GROUP HOMES
North rosedale is the best
This is what the whole city used to look like
I'd argue Indian Village is more beautiful.
Curry Fever having ass pie hole
C. Lincoln u good fam? Lol
Its not about what looks better.
K.B. Indian village is only 3 or 4 streets that encompass 3 or 4 long blocks , this is an entire closed security neighborhood !
Name of this neighborhood please
Indian Village is another nice are in Detroit.
GREEN ACRES , university District, Grandmont , Rosedale , Sherwood Forest , Downtown I’m sure I’ve left out some newer Mac mansions off the river Gold Coast area ~
this is BEATIFUL
So much difference from East side.
There’s good and bad spots on both sides. The Westside is bigger but it has its spots that are not good.
@@tdevianc679 actually the Eastside of Detroit is bigger.
And the Eastside of Detroit has better subdivisions than palmer woods. Please if your not from the city. Don't assume
I am from the city of Detroit. I grew up on the Westside in Sherwood Forest. Went to Cass Technical High school.
I was saying as far as Detroit city limits go the Westside is bigger in population.
I love old Detroit
You passed Eminems crib
Where?
Wowwwwww

Yes, this is Sherwood Forest! You’re correct on the cross streets!
Quite a change from what i have seen (never been there) of old funky wunky Detroit..
I'm right down the street from West Chicago over here in HP and the house over here are huge
Sees a drive by
I hate to say it but it looks like a different city, And I'm from Detroit.
Light That Burns The Sky Vegeta that the east side this the west side but go off but you never been to Detroit before
Palmer Woods?
yep
The rich neighborhood!
...Reminds me of the Old West End in Toledo, only not as old...

Is it inside detroit city??? Or suburb?
In Detroit
Is This Sherwood Forest?
Now, is this in the city or suburbs?
What’s the name of the neighborhood
Still I won’t live there with an option of rent free for life
Lovely. Does the money that supports these homes come from legitimate business? Or is that no longer an option in Detroit?
Ford, Chrysler and GM CEOs maybe live in these hoods, heheh
What neighborhood is this?
looks like fallout 2
Its nice tho
