Old Redford hums with creative energy at the crossroads of Grand River and Lahser. Weekend lights glow at the meticulously restored Redford Theatre, where the Mighty Wurlitzer warms up before classic films and community events. Just down the block, the Artist Village Detroit and colorful streetscapes celebrate local makers, while Sidewalk Detroit stages performances that spill into pocket plazas and alleys. Nature is close at hand, too—trails, meadows, and birding spots in Eliza Howell Park offer a quiet counterpoint to the district’s arts scene. You’re minutes from neighboring Rosedale Park and Grandmont, with easy connections to Southfield and Oak Park, and quick access to the Southfield Freeway for commuting across Detroit and Wayne County.
Families appreciate the area’s education options. The tuition‑free charter Old Redford Academy operates K–12 campuses nearby, and Henry Ford High School offers specialized academies within the Detroit Public Schools Community District. For study sessions, story times, and public programs, the Detroit Public Library – Redford Branch anchors the corridor. Housing ranges from sturdy 1920s–50s brick colonials and bungalows to updated multi‑unit buildings above storefronts, giving first‑time buyers and move‑up households room to grow.
