Boston-Edison apartments are located in a Detroit historic district on the precise center of the Motor City's map. West Boston Boulevard and Edison Avenue are boundaries, along with Woodward Avenue and Linwood Street.

Near the close of the 19th Century, during 1891, Detroit developer Edward Voigt platted lots that were far more spacious than normal. This factor remains a reason for Boston-Edison's open air character, with sprawling lawns. Population density in Boston-Edison is about 4,500 residents per square mile, about one-third lower than Detroit's citywide ratio of 6,800 per square mile.

Detroit luminaries who lived in Boston-Edison include Henry Ford, Sebastian Kresge, Ty Cobb, Joe Louis and Walter Reuther. Boston-Edison apartment dwellers will discover that construction of mansions took place mostly between 1905 and 1925. Architecture ranges from English Tudor and French Provincial to Italian Renaissance and Greek Revival.

Boston-Edison apartments are especially popular with newcomers to Detroit. Some 36 percent of Boston-Edison residents were born someplace other than in Michigan.

An easy way to get out and meet new people in the neighborhood is to head over the the Boston-Edison neighborhood association. It's also a great way to get involved in the community. Or, if you prefer serendipitous meeting, enjoy the local parks, restaurants and shops found in the area.
