In spite of the troubles Detroit suffered in the late-20th and early-21st century, a falling crime rate and the availability of inexpensive housing within established neighborhoods have led to a renewed interest in giving the city a brighter future. Nowhere have these efforts shown more visible success than in Downtown, which has bounced back to become one of the hippest urban districts in America. Refurbished vintage buildings and skyscrapers give the district a retro feel in many places, and even modern touches like the Joe Louis monument pay homage to the city’s rich history.
The landscape is packed with professional sports arenas and performance venues, putting residents just steps away from the hottest events in town every night of the week. The popular RiverWalk incorporates bike paths and walking trails along the Detroit River, providing excellent views of the skylines for both Detroit and Windsor, Ontario.
