Dexter-Linwood, located between Dexter Ave and Linwood St, is a residential and historic Detroit neighborhood with brick two-flats and broad, tree-lined blocks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Dexter Ave corridor near Davison, where corner storefronts, barbershops, and carryouts sit beside long stretches of classic Detroit streetscape. Housing stock leans toward early-20th-century masonry homes with deep porches and tidy setbacks. Side streets feel quieter, with pocket greens and schoolyards breaking up the grid. The area reads as practical and grounded, with daily life oriented to local services and bus routes.

R6
Medium Density Residential District
The R6 High Density Residential District is designed as a high-density multiple-dwelling district to be used primarily in areas adjacent to the Central Business District, the New Center Area, the Cultural Center, the waterfront, certain large City parks, and other areas, which have a high concentration of persons and land values. This district will permit a range of living accommodations, from the low-density dwelling up to very high-density dwellings, including institutions and residentially related uses, and will permit certain specified service and convenience-type commercial uses of a character unlikely to develop excessive traffic but which will serve the residents of the immediate area. Single-family detached and two-family dwellings will not be permitted in this district by-right, but may be allowed as conditional uses.
