I'm most comfortable with Indian Village... but the schools are, obviously, terrible. The houses aren't cheap enough for us to pay for private school. Last night we started looking at Grosse Pointe... the schools are great... and the houses are just as big!Mrs Furioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18082932653215907248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3970661341243634764.post-88159421167598362010-04-08T08:48:43.302-04:002010-04-08T08:48:43.302-04:00Just like any city, there are areas of Detroit tha...Just like any city, there are areas of Detroit that are nice. And these awesome houses might fit in that area (I'm not familiar with the Chicago street area though.) Schools though, that's another issue all together... <br /><br />Commute from Dewitt - our houses are nice and cheaper than Ann Arbor (but come with over an hour commute, oh and no Trader Joes... never mind it's bad idea =) )Mrs. Smittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15190831302454765121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3970661341243634764.post-66745685085751546672010-04-08T08:14:44.866-04:002010-04-08T08:14:44.866-04:00P.O.M.,

Unless they walked away from the foreclosure, in which case I don't.<br /><br />I can relate to your struggle...the town we want to live in is overpriced for what you get, and the condition of most of what we've looked at leaves us shaking our heads.
