How about Huntington Woods and certainly there is plenty of new lofts in the downtown, riverfront that would be excellent if you're single. I live in Bloomfield Hills and work in Birmingham and truthfully, if I had a choice I'd live downtown--our communities are not well integrated here.

I know the perfect place for you, my exclusive neighborhood in Detroit, Sherwood Forest, and it's even more exclusive neighbor, Palmer Woods, filled with diverse families in a beautiful neighborhood built for the upper class and he upper middle class with black, white, and hispanic, and young familes. Check out the website, sherwoodforestdetroit.org and PalmerWoods.org.

I'm originally from Chicago and I love large metro areas. I went to med school in the south and found myself doing my residency there, too. I chose a rural residency program because I think rural programs make better family physicians, but the racism in the small city south is unbearable. That's saying a lot for a guy from Chicago (a city that competes with Boston for the most segregated city in America). Anyway, as a Black man I know racism well and frankly, I prefer northern racism as the better of the two evils (northern vs. southern racism).
I'm looking to move back to the midwest and I would have gone back to the Chi but the housing costs there are obscene. On the other hand, the metro Detroit area has everything I'm looking for; a large metro population, lots of diversity, countless things to do and a housing market that's built for buyers. I like that the area is politically progressive like Chicago, too. My problem is that I have no clue where to look for a home in metro Detroit.
I've worked damned hard to get where I am and I want to live in a community that will fit my income, but I also want to live in a community where I'll feel comfortable. Like many African Americans, I'm not racist but out of necessity I'm constantly on guard against all the people in this country who are racist. I'd like to live in an ethnically diverse community within the metro area but if that's not possible, I have much love for my people and can easily settle down in an upper middle-class African American neighborhood, too. Specifically, I'm looking for a modern two story home at 3000+ sq. ft., four+ bedrooms and three car garage in a very nice neighborhood. Any ideas as to where I should look? The more in put the better. Thanks in advance. docmts2
I'm from chicago and temp. living in detroit. chicago has changed, a very nice location for doctors isn't to far from chicago: lake county, Ill. some part are very quiet living with a very good price on homes due to the market. detroit and chicago do need your services, desperately. I PRAY JAH GOD BLESS YOUR DECISION.
