Southwest Detroit

Southwest Detroit is located two miles outside of downtown and possesses some of the strongest neighborhoods and commercial districts in the city. Mexicantown, for example, is known for its many Mexican restaurants and ethnic flavor. The area attracts a large number of suburban and Canadian tourists.

Southwest Detroit is an exciting area for many reasons: its ethnic diversity, strong commercial districts, dense residential areas, successful cultural and community organizations, and many former residents still loyal to the old neighborhood.
