The Detroit google view is a block west of Alter Rd and the Grosse Pointe view is a block east of Alter rd. The RD divides by city, divides by race and divides by class. Welcome to Detroit....
The elegant "Kalorama" district (where the Obama's are moving to) and Mount Pleasant (gritty Hispanic district) - although the latter may be gentrifying - I'm not sure
"Culmore" a run-down, 1940s era apartments with a population that's 100% Central American - near very busy "Baileys Crossroads", is just around the corner from "Lake Barcroft" a scenic area by a lake, traditionally home to Pentagon officers
"The Dip" a black housing project, is next door to "Old Town Alexandria" a very expensive area, full of Ivy League WASPs
In Baltimore, gentrified "Bolton Hill' and the Symphony Hall - MD College of Arts district, are very near the "Upton" area, traditionally the heart of black community life, where the Freddie Gray disturbances happened.
What's wrong with 1940s apartments? Those are pretty damn normal in non-sprawl cities.

In Wilmington, Cool Spring is right next to Hilltop, the latter being one of the city's most violent and impoverished neighborhoods.
