Creating infill housing opportunities at all income levels

The McDougall-Hunt neighborhood is one of the areas in Detroit that has seen a recent influx of infill housing developments. Located on the city's east side, McDougall-Hunt is a historic neighborhood that was once home to many of Detroit's prominent African American residents. However, like many other neighborhoods in the city, McDougall-Hunt has struggled with disinvestment and urban decay in recent years.

In response, a number of organizations and developers have launched infill housing projects in the neighborhood, aimed at bringing new residents and investment to the area. For example, the nonprofit developer Develop Detroit has built several new homes in McDougall-Hunt, including a mixed-use development that features ground-floor retail space and apartments above.

The new developments in McDougall-Hunt are designed to complement the existing architecture of the neighborhood, while also offering modern amenities and energy-efficient design features. In addition to providing new housing options for residents, these projects are also creating new jobs and supporting local businesses, helping to revitalize the neighborhood and improve quality of life for its residents.

Of course, as with any new development in an established community, there have been concerns raised about the impact of infill housing projects on McDougall-Hunt. Some residents worry that new development may lead to displacement of long-time residents or changes to the character of the neighborhood. However, many of the developers and organizations involved in these projects are working closely with the community to address these concerns and ensure that the new developments are a positive force for change in the neighborhood.
