There are tasteful murals along the back wall of the library featuring large Cardinal Birds. A welcome site in any season and especially in wintertime. Just behind the library is a 'Reading Park' with a large gazebo, several benches and a lawn under shade trees. Though there is no play set here it is a nice place to take children to play ball or read books. The library itself is on the small side but is packed with books. The librarians are very helpful and engaged. They have computer systems that are open to the public. You just need to sign up to use them.

Cute little suburb of North Detroit area which has a Scottish bakery that I'm in love with that has a ton of great imported products and homemade stuff as well. It's a sleepy little ethnic part of town that has a lot of great stuff and I'm totally in love with it. I'll definitely come back here a lot in future as well. As I said, a cute City in the northwest suburbs of Detroit which is a fairly ethnically homogenous area that has a little bit of ethnic diversity as well. Some nice little places up here and not as busy as some of the hardcore Rich suburbs further to the north of Detroit - or the city of Detroit itself for that matter.

I've lived here for almost 3 decades - I would not recommend this township to anyone who could…read moreafford better elsewhere; but it's "decent" for most here. The government is full of people who are largely unresponsive to residents overall - often more concerned about whatever 'profits' and benefits they can get for themselves. Making residents/landlords all over town replace concrete sidewalks - and finally driveway approaches (- which were rarely needed at most homes) as a way to generate 'revenues' has been a controversy twice during my years here. - We have Township managers who are "in the concrete business"! Lol! More than half of the township's employees live in nicer, nearby cities - but few live here. At least half of the housing stock has been owned by out of town landlords for 15 years or more now - leaving a population of many transient - 'tenant' residents who don't take much interest in; or express concerns about local political issues or races - along with the relatively disinterested landlords who don't live here either. A relatively unique population/property ownership situation leaving the politicians able to do what they want to a larger degree than most neighboring communities - where unified 'opposition' to controversial proposals may be more common. Lots of city officials in various departments feel free to 'pick and choose' the issues and complaints they address - or don't bother with. Stories of past and present corruption by past and present administrators have been a mainstay for decades. A substantially high proportion of 'property tax' revenues goes to employee pensions - particularly 'police' and 'fire'. The township has become about '50/50' in racial makeup over the past decade; with a large influx of people from inner city Detroit moving in as either renters - or buyers when housing prices bottomed out here to as little as $10-$20K 20 years ago - a good house for the price of a good used car! (- Most properties are well over $100K again now.) A big upgrade for many who came from the more run down, crime plagued inner city. Crime has increased significantly in recent years - and gun shots at night are all too common now also. Services are few; snow plowing, for example - almost never happens; very rare. Part of this is because Redford is a township; making it dependent on Wayne County for a lot of services - which it gets sparingly few of compared to the county's bigger "priorities" of Detroit - and nicer, more affluent Townships, like Plymouth/Canton, for example. Reports of drug dealers in neighborhoods are often ignored by police and township leaders - particularly if the 'accused' does their trade discreetly - and pays their property taxes and water bills timely - a big issue regarding many households and the township's 'revenues'. 'Dealers' creating serious neighborhood disturbances will more likely be "dealt with" by the police, however. - Despite these drawbacks, most neighborhoods are relatively quiet; with a little more noise when people are out during the days and nights of summertime. Many people live here and have no serious issues or problems for many years. While we don't get much for services - most property taxes add up to between $2K -$3K per year - still significantly less than many neighboring communities. More long term residents may not look at the schools as favorably as they did years ago. Some may still find them satisfactory. Not much in the way of 'entertainment' or higher end shopping or restaurants around the township; there are a few, smaller places popular with locals folks closer to the Township Hall/downtown business area. The township is situated such that "something nicer" in the way of dining or retail can be found not too far miles away in a neighboring city. Also not too far a drive to downtown Detroit for those who like dining, entertainment, or sporting events there. Overall - "lackluster" and "more affordable" living are how most people having resided here for a while may describe Redford Twp.; while most with a bit more money look elsewhere.
