Sherwood Forest, located between Livernois Avenue and Woodward Avenue, is a historic and residential Detroit neighborhood with grand Tudor Revival homes and a deep canopy of mature trees. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Livernois Avenue near 7 Mile Road, where independent boutiques, barbershops, and long-running eateries set a steady, street-level rhythm. Curving streets and generous lots give the area a quiet, estate-like feel, while brick colonials and storybook gables define the architecture. Palmer Park’s trails and open lawns shape daily routines just to the east. The Sherwood Forest Association anchors local stewardship and neighborhood traditions. Nearby cultural mainstays like the Detroit Golf Club and the historic Sherwood Forest Club add a classic Detroit social layer.

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.
