Outer Drive-Hayes, on Detroit's east side, showcases 1930s and 1940s brick cottages and bungalows with distinct Tudor features, spacious front porches, and rooflines that give every block its own personality.
The community here feels like an extended family. Residents, churches, block clubs, and neighborhood organizations regularly work together to host events, support local families, improve neighborhood spaces, and bring new energy to the community through shared projects and partnerships.
Outer Drive itself was first established in 1918 as a grand pleasure boulevard meant to lie like a necklace around Detroit. It was designed as a scenic parkway eight miles from the city's center that wound through Detroit's most desirable residential addresses. By the 1940s and 1950s, the neighborhoods hugging East Outer Drive had filled in with the brick homes of professionals, elected and appointed officials, autoworkers, municipal employees who wanted space and stability. Motown's biggest names soon followed, turning the corridor into a quiet cultural landmark filled with timeless architecture, active block clubs, and an abundance of community pride.
