Brick investment property for your portfolio. It needs work. There is water in the basement from the tenant pouring sand and concrete down the drain. Subject to probate court approval.
College Park, located between Livernois Avenue and Wyoming Avenue, is a residential and institutional Detroit neighborhood with tree-lined blocks and campus-edge green space. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the University of Detroit Mercy campus along McNichols Road, where academic buildings, small eateries, and student-focused hangouts set a steady weekday rhythm. The University of Detroit Mercy and the historic Calihan Hall act as cultural anchors, with events that spill into nearby streets. Brick colonials and tidy bungalows define the housing stock, giving the area a classic Northwest Detroit streetscape. Sidewalks and pocket lawns frame a calm, walkable feel, while McNichols keeps daily life connected to the wider city.

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.
