Urban Convenience Meets Suburban Charm in Wayne Countyโs 48213 and 48224 ZIP Codes
Outer Drive-Hayes is where Detroit’s past, present, and future meetโa neighborhood of resilience and charm on the city’s east side.
Spanning District 4โs 48213 and 48224 ZIP codes, Outer Drive-Hayes is often overlooked in flashier real estate discussions despite its reputation as a community where middle-class families, retirees, and first-time homebuyers have built lives of stability, tradition, and neighborly pride.
Its main drag, East Outer Drive, is an expansive boulevard of mature trees and classic mid-century homes that give the area a distinct suburban flavor without sacrificing Detroit’s urban energy.
Through the Metro areaโs many highs and lows (i.e., economic change, population growth, and urban challenges), Outer Drive-Hayes has stood the test of time.
The neighborhood’s engaged block clubs, faith-based groups, and neighborhood associations have worked to preserve not just physical homes, but a sense of belonging.
The landscape is important here: the wide median of Outer Drive is more than just an aesthetic feature โ it’s a symbol of the neighborhoodโs architectural care โ a place where kids ride bikes, families walk dogs, and neighbors chat across lawns.

While some streets are worn, some have new renovations.
Fixer-uppers in the 48213 and 48224 area run between $50,000 and $60,000, while move-in ready properties can cost between $70,000 and $110,000, especially along the East Outer Drive corridor.
