President's message:
Spring cleanups a success
 |
Neighbors pitched in to clean up vacant properties on
April 21. Thanks to all the volunteers! |
I hope spring is treating you
well these days, after a highly
unusual warm winter and
a stranger than fiction start
to spring 2012 – it looks like
we might have better than
average weather to enjoy all
the activities that the summer
months hold for us in and
around the metropolitan area.
Obviously we are waiting
and wondering what the
ongoing financial plans hold
for Detroit's this summer with
regard to budget cuts and a
reorganization of sorts. So far
our dates for bulk pick up
and the continued recycling
program are still in place. Let's
hope for the best and continue
to work for a better city this
year!
Great thanks to Ken Morris
who continues to report and
monitor our lighting issues.
We have turned them in to
City Hall as well as sending
and calling the 311 system. …. Read more ->
About East
English Village
Community
With many amenities - quick access to downtown Detroit and
neighboring cities, good shopping choices, public/private schools and an
active, engaged community – the neighborhood is an excellent choice for
families and individual homeowners. The neighborhood association hosts activities including contests, home tours, garden
club, annual garage sale and a holiday party. Established residents and
new neighbors meet monthly to discuss issues, successes and general neighborhood information. The mutual
support of neighbors and feeling of community is the heart of our
neighborhood.
Diversity
East English Village prides itself on the diversity of our
community. We are one of the most racially mixed neighborhoods in the
City of Detroit. Civil servants, blue collar workers, retirees and
professionals from different ethnic groups, religions and sexual
orientations have all found a welcome place here.
Unique architecture
First developed in 1913, most of the distinctive brick homes of
East English Village were built in the early 1930s through 1950. The
solid architecture and high quality materials used in the homes
continues to attract residents who value the charm and character of
older homes.
