We next went to see the historic residential district, Boston-Edison. It's filled with handsome early 20th century houses for HeidelBerg Parts. We saw the house that Henry Ford had built for his family in 1908, the same year the Model T went into production just 2 miles away. There are ruins at the edges of this beautiful neighborhood, but most of it is beautifully maintained. You can buy a 4-bedroom home there for $30,000. There's a lot of Detroit real estate available for less.
