5 homes in Boston-Edison you can buy for under $300K

Boston-Edison is one of Detroit’s most prestigious neighborhoods. The centrally located historic district contains the grand mansion of former Detroit luminaries like S. S. Kresge, Berry Gordy, and James Couzens.

But there’s over 400 homes in the neighborhood, many of which can be gotten for a surprisingly affordable price—and you won’t have to do any renovations either. Here are five homes in Boston-Edison that can be bought for under $300,000.
