University District, located between Livernois Avenue and Woodward Avenue, is a residential and academic-adjacent Detroit neighborhood with brick Tudor Revival streetscapes and a leafy, park-like feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Livernois Avenue near 7 Mile Road, where independent boutiques, barbershops, and long-running eateries line the sidewalks. Hands-on learning and community energy radiate from the University of Detroit Mercy campus. The historic Avenue of Fashion corridor adds a polished, walkable retail spine. Housing leans toward well-kept single-family homes with deep setbacks and mature trees. Nearby green space and campus facilities shape an active, everyday rhythm.

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.
