Situated about three miles east of Downtown Detroit, Islandview is a scenic neighborhood brimming with historic character. Islandview is largely residential, offering an array of red-brick apartments and longstanding houses available for rent along tree-lined streets.
The neighborhood’s commercial offerings are mainly clustered on East Jefferson Avenue, where residents enjoy access to casual restaurants and convenient shops. Islandview is proximate to plenty of recreational opportunities available at Gabriel Richard Park, Mount Elliot Park, and the sprawling Belle Isle Park, which lies just across the Detroit River from the neighborhood.
