Hawthorne Park
Neighborhood in Detroit, Michigan
Wayne County 48203
Hawthorne Park is one of North Detroit’s most unique neighborhoods, both for its immediate access to Interstate 75 and for its close ties to neighboring Highland Park. With both a Highland Park postal address and access to Detroit amenities, Hawthorne Park shares in both the histories and benefits of these two historic communities, while also overcoming their challenges.
Neighborhood documentarian Chris Harden says, “Highland Park isn’t a neighborhood of Detroit, as it’s its own city, but there’s not much of a difference between the residential areas of Highland Park and much of the nearby residential areas of Detroit.” Hawthorne Park, recognized by the postal service to be a part of Highland Park, bridges these two communities; Highland Park’s Chrysler Drive – named for the town’s most famous contribution to American automaking – merges with Interstate 75 along Hawthorne Park’s western edge, and these roads provide residents with easy access to the rest of Metro Detroit.
While Highland Park has faced protracted difficulties since Chrysler’s move out of Detroit, Hawthorne Park retains a degree of the original charm of one of 1920s America’s model cities. Harden says, “Highland Park used to be called ‘the City of Trees,’ as the residential blocks were full of elm trees.” Hawthorne Park’s streets are lined with homes dating to the pre-World War II heyday of the Motor City, with streets still shaded by verdant trees. Homes in Hawthorne Park tend to sell for between $20,000 and $80,000, with refurbished homes topping the market and older homes offering competitive pricing offers.
Hawthorne Park is almost entirely residential, but Seven Mile Road provides locals with all the services and amenities they made need or desire. Within the neighborhood, check out the Davison Fish & Seafood Market for a selection of fresh and frozen seafood, or travel a few blocks down Seven Mile for an even broader variety of grocery conveniences at Royal Fresh Market. This road also puts foodies just a few minutes away from local restaurants. Go to soul food heaven at Generations Bistro, or dine the Detroit way at Deluxe Coney Island, a franchise of the popular Coney Island brand that sells both Greek and American comfort foods round the clock.
Just two blocks from the bustle of Chrysler Drive, kids can enjoy some fresh air at the Hawthorne Playground, where both a sizeable jungle gym and the occasional community cookout keep people coming back to this small community park.
Hawthorne Park’s students attend the C-minus-rated Nolan Elementary-Middle School and Pershing High School, both of which feature strong Niche.com ratings for the quality of their teachers. Pershing is also acclaimed by parents for its close-knit community, helped in large part by the supportive attitudes of both the teachers and the school’s administrators.
Hawthorne Park’s location along Interstate 75 puts residents within a 9-mile, straight-shot drive from downtown Detroit, making that hub of entertainment and employment easily accessible.
If you’re looking to live in a community with vintage houses, easy access to both downtown and the shops of Seven Mile, and with housing prices welcoming a variety of budgets, consider Hawthorne Park.
