Listed by Catina Willis• Next Level Realty & Investments
South of Six, located between Grand River Avenue and Michigan Avenue, is a historic and industrial Detroit neighborhood with brick warehouse blocks and rail-lined streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Michigan Avenue corridor near the old Michigan Central Station, where coffee counters, small galleries, and maker-style studios sit beside long-standing auto-era buildings. Michigan Central Station anchors the skyline and sets a civic, adaptive-reuse tone. Nearby, Roosevelt Park frames the district with broad lawns and downtown-facing views. Streetscapes mix loading docks, murals, and new storefront buildouts, giving daily life a workshop-meets-café rhythm. Side streets hold compact blocks that read best on foot, with wide arterials defining the edges.

R1
Single-Family Residential District
The R1 Single-Family Residential District is designed to protect and preserve quiet, low-density residential areas now primarily developed and those areas which will be developed with single-family detached dwellings and characterized by a high ratio of home ownership. The regulations for this district are designed to stabilize and protect the essential characteristics of the district and to promote and encourage a suitable environment for activities associated with family life. To these ends, development is limited to a relatively low concentration and uses permitted by right are limited to single-family detached dwellings which provide homes for the residents of the area. Additional residential uses such as religious institutions, neighborhood centers, and utility uses necessary to serve the immediate area may be permitted on a conditional basis.
Permitted uses
