moving to Dearborn Michigan.......?

okay let's get this mess straight -- dearborn is really two separate communities: west dearborn and east dearborn (formerly known as Fordson). west dearborn is still overwhelmingly white, populated with ford motor execs, engineers and the odd plant rat. a nice mix of working class and upper middle class families. east dearborn is almost entirely arabic, and it abuts the city of detroit. east dearborn is the 'ghetto buffer' for west dearborn. (east dearborn maintains a vigilant barrier against encroachment of detroit crime and ghettoism. kudos to the arab community.)

west dearborn used to be an outstanding community with excellent public schools and high property taxes to keep the riff raff at bay. it has decreased in standing over the past couple of decades. but it still remains a good, stable community. it's just no longer an elite suburb.

(quick history: the trend in detroit has been outward expansion AWAY from detroit. detroit is a ****** up city, no nice way to put it. this has negatively impacted dearborn, creating gaps where affluent residents move out and less affluent residents move in.)

both are decent communities to live in. not great, but good. just consider if you want a safer, traditional suburban experience (west) or grittier, urban ethnic experience (east).

If you go to Dearborn, go to West Dearborn, it's much safer. West Dearborn would be considered anything between Evergreen and Telegraph. The rent is a bit higher though, you can get something nice for around $1000 a month, maybe cheaper if you don't need anything luxurious. West Dearborn has plenty of nightlife/restaurants on Michigan Ave, near Monroe. It's a pretty nice town, nothing extravagant, but nice.

It's 2013 people and its time to accept the arabs in the US that have been here for over a hundred years.

Im from Dearborn and I'll tell you. We make sure our cops are all white and will arrest you for breaking the law with their clean top of the line police car always washed and in your face.

Come to Dearborn and have a good time we have Fairlane mall and the Henry ford village.Movie theaters,Many shopping centers and super stores.We have U of M Dearborn and Henry Ford Community college.

It's a very family friendly city where the motto is "Clean and Safe". We make sure our tax dollars do just that.

Dearborn Michigan is awesome! It's really nice there. There is huge arab population there. Do you know the street Cherry Hill. Well there's a nice subbivision there that is lovely and very quiet. I used to live there.

Hey Brother I'm a Dearborn Police Officer and half of these people are stretching it. It's not noise, one the top 25 safest place's in MI and there's is No Pray call outs like that one lady said. Foods great people are friendly and outstanding Nightlife.

I'm sure people move to certain places for certain reasons. I'm not really up on what Dearborn has, but I'm sure there's a reason. What made your family decide to move there?

Dearborn is becoming increasingly higher crime as time goes by and more immigrants without jobs , cant speak English move in

as for noise.. If you don't mind the 5a and 5times a day sirens for the call to Allah? from the Arab Centers you'll do just fine

You might want to consider moving to Dearborn Heights, Livonia, Canton, Garden City or Westland instead

Dearborn is pretty dangerous - I would try and find a place in surrounding areas. Goodluck.

“one the top 25 safest place's in MI”?

That is not saying much considering Michigan is a violent place, being 25th on the list doesn’t make it safe.

Unless you are an Arab move someplace else.
