E Washington St & Mill St Area

McConnell Park sits right at the edge of this stretch, anchoring what feels like a walkable corner of town where groceries are an easy stroll away and a restaurant sits within a few minutes on foot. Ten parks cluster within a mile, so green space isn't hard to find, though you'll want a car for the coffee shop about a mile out or a longer drive to Gerald R. Ford airport nearly 50 minutes south. The neighborhood itself spans 134 acres of modest lots—averaging just under a third of an acre—giving the area a compact, human-scaled feel rather than sprawling properties. Nine restaurants within the immediate radius mean there's actual dining density here, not just convenience; the real texture of the place comes from its proximity to everyday needs and the concentration of small parks threading through the residential grid.
