Ensuring an easy commute for workers, the Airport neighborhood sits about six miles from downtown Detroit, and buses run regularly between the two locations. Students can reach Wayne State University conveniently via a seven-mile drive on I-94, a bicycle ride down Warren Avenue, or by using public transit. Airport is named for its location -- this is where you'll find Coleman A. Young International Airport. It is also near the GM Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Center, providing the ideal neighborhood for those working at either location.
Thanks to the neighborhood's close proximity to the waterfront, locals tend to spend time enjoying the outdoors by bicycling the paths that line the Detroit River or by exploring Belle Isle's amenities including a zoo, a conservatory, and an aquarium. Downtown Detroit is also a popular destination, home to the popular Riverwalk, Cobo Center, the Fox Theater, and the Detroit Opera House.
