Housing and Quality of Life
The Allen Park housing market is regarded as the most sought after of all Downriver communities. The reasons for this are well known. Located between three major freeways, Allen Park residents have the ability to access what were once thought to be distant areas.
This mobility enlarges the job market for the many who, having grown up in the city, prefer to stay and raise their own families in the city. Couple this with an excellent school system, it is not hard to understand why pride of ownership abounds in 12,333 housing units in the city of Allen Park.
City services are provided by tax revenues and include police and fire protection, street lighting, snow removal, street sweeping, salting of roads, street maintenance, sewers and parks and recreational activities. The city boasts one of the first in-line skating rinks in the Downriver area. To further enhance the quality of life, Allen Park is nearing the grand opening of its new community center.
