Compare Brush-Park and Boston - Edison Neighborhoods

[313hero]

I live in Boston-Edison and Love it. Neighbors are great. Association great. One of the best areas in the city for sure. Crime is pretty much non relevant. Have a good patrol and nosy neighbors. everyone looks out for one another. The surrounding neighborhood is pretty bad though. But for some reason they dont bother us. Love it. Only thing I dont like is the lack of small children. My daughter is 3 and there are no children her age on my street. I grew up in the area and always wanted to live in B-E. I've lived in rosedale also and love it too. Was more children but also more home invaders. Had to go. Havnt had ANY problems in B-E. Dont know much about Brush-Park

If you're more pessimistic, like me, then Brush Park's current conditions are a hint of Boston-Edison's future conditions [[mass abandonment, largely vacant, etc.).

If you're more positive, however, you could speculate that a Woodward revival would help both neighborhoods quite a bit [[and especially help Brush Park, given its more central location).

I wouldn't bet on it, though. The prospects for both are pretty murky. I would give Brush Park slightly higher odds of success, though. B-E will be very tough, but who knows, the homes are truly gorgeous. Even Alden Park and those areas to the east, around the Cathedral, are ok-ish, at least judging by outward appearances.

In some ways you could argue that B-E has done ok for itself, considering that its surrounded by nothing. At least east of the Lodge, the blocks have been holding up fairly well, considering the general area.

I thought you posted in another thread about BE that your home had been broken into and the Detroit cops either never showed up or showed up a day later. Was that another 313hero?

That was the home in Rosedale Park. Not BE

My mistake.
