Morningside is a functional, working-density east-side neighborhood that delivers affordable brick construction in a location that benefits from East English Village's commercial corridor improvements. The housing stock is 1940s-1950s brick bungalows and ranches, somewhat smaller than East English Village's homes but built to the same durable brick standard. The Morningside Community Organization has been active in neighborhood advocacy and clean-up coordination.
History
Morningside developed as a post-WWII working-class extension of the East English Village planned neighborhood concept — more modest in scale but drawing from the same east-side expansion of Detroit's residential footprint in the late 1940s and 1950s. The neighborhood experienced disinvestment in the 1970s-2000s but has seen stabilization and modest appreciation in the post-bankruptcy recovery period.
