Detroit’s fastest growing neighborhood along the Detroit River

Up-and-Coming Urban River Restaurants Nightlife Entertainment

Also called the Warehouse District, Rivertown is a trendy urban locale and is one of the city’s fastest-growing neighborhoods. Once filled with warehouses and factories a decade ago, Rivertown now offers upscale converted lofts and condos, but there are more affordable rental options available as well. Located in Downtown Detroit and nestled along the Detroit River, Rivertown boasts an amazing location and abundant amenities. Along with housing excellent restaurants, retailers, and nightlife spots, Rivertown has several waterfront green spaces for residents to enjoy. You’ll find locals strolling along the scenic Detroit Riverwalk at the William G. Milliken State Park and Harbor, catching a show at the Aretha Franklin Amphitheatre, or cooling off at the Mount Elliott Park splash pad during the summer. The neighborhood is also convenient to Belle Isle Park, a 982-acre green space with an aquarium, beach, and so much more. If you want the ultimate urban living experience, Rivertown might be your new home.
