About University District
“There is no neighborhood like University District,” says Miranda Morrow, a University District resident and realtor with National Realty Centers. “Even if I wanted to live in Palmer Woods or Sherwood, I’d choose University District all over again.” Earning its name from the University of Detroit Mercy to its south, University District is a longstanding, close-knit community that has always been considered one of Detroit’s most affluent areas. “It’s just prestigious,” says Morrow. “You have the doctors, lawyers, school teachers, police and fire, entrepreneurs.” While surrounding communities, like Palmer Woods and Sherwood Forest, are just as well-off, Morrow says this neighborhood stands out for one reason. “Everyone is together, there’s a strong sense of community,” she says. “When you’re walking down the street, everyone speaks to everyone. Everyone looks out for everyone.” William Adams, a lifelong Detroit resident and owner of Adams Realty says University District’s know-your-neighbor charm leaves a lasting impression. “To this day, my family and I still talk about living on Parkside,” he says. “You just know your neighbors. I could look out of my window in the morning
