Woodbridge is a historical neighborhood with a diverse population situated 2 miles from downtown Detroit. The original street-car suburb, Woodridge started out as a mix of upscale housing and working-class cottages. This mix has persisted as the residents went from farmers to industrialists and now students to professionals and politicians. The land developed in segments and reflects the history of the City in which it resides. Neighborhood boundaries have been shaped by outside forces, but ultimately it’s been the residents leading the stabilization and regrowth of the turn-of-the-century neighborhood.
