Core City rebuilds neighborhood west of Grand River with 275 homes

According to the story:

Core City Neighborhoods Inc. has built more than 275 units in the neighborhood west of Grand River, near Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Trumbull. The group's next big project, its executive director says, is a commercial building where Martin Luther King, Trumbull and Grand River join.

Most of the homes Core City sells — with a price of about $100,000 — are going to people who had lived in the city and now want to return.

What Core City Neighborhoods has done is being mirrored across the city, says Regina Strong, executive director of Community Development Advocates of Detroit, a trade group that represents about 100 Detroit nonprofit development groups. "Detroit has become a hotbed for housing right now," she says.
