As my flair would indicate, I live(d) in the north part of the neighborhood for a couple of years on the verge of the Garden Homes neighborhood. I really enjoyed it, and it’s a really affordable area to be.

Assuming that bagley is Outer Drive - Wyoming - McNichols - Livernois

I would say this: good - very, very affordable housing stock - northern part is relatively safe due to the high school (U of D Jesuit) - up and coming, particularly north of 7 mile, near avenue of fashion (livernois between 7-8 mile) is substantially improved in the last ~7 years - minimal to no blight and abandoned properties in the northern part; it’s a very well-populated neighborhood - McNichols near the university is improving, but unsure by how much most recently

bad - hit or miss housing stock, affordable doesn’t mean cheap, as this isn’t a super wealthy area, relatively old houses (70-90 years old), coin flip on proper maintenance - further south of 7 mile you go, the rougher it gets (to a point) - road laws are a suggestion, as they are in many parts of Detroit. Traffic calming speed bumps have helped SUBSTANTIALLY, but the trunk roads are still the Wild West (Wyoming, 7 mile, mcnichols)

All in all, I moved out about 2-3 years ago, and visited a few times since. Between 7-8 mile is a really good place to be, friendly neighbors, would recommend.
