Why Detroit is Great for Seniors
Detroit is the largest city in Michigan and the second largest metropolitan area in the Midwest after Chicago. Although the summers are mild, the winters tend to be very frigid. This is good news for older adults who enjoy all four seasons providing a great setting for a variety of activities, including nearly 150 golf courses to enjoy during the warmer months.
Due to its location along the Detroit River, and near Lake Erie, Lake St Clair and Lake Huron, Detroit is an ideal location for those who enjoy fresh water. In addition, there are two national wildlife refuges and 9 state parks in and around the Detroit area. Belle Isle Park -- an astonishing 982-acres -- is an island with several attractions in the Detroit River, between Detroit and Windsor, Ontario. It is the nation's largest city park. These natural elements in and around Detroit make the city a great location for outdoor enthusiasts during their golden years.
Another perk of the city is the growing public transit system -- over 2,300 miles of protected bike lanes, and pathways for easy navigation. There are over 650 churches in the Detroit Metro area for those who enjoy religious communities.
Currently, the senior population is just over 13 percent of the city's population which on par with the national average.
Resources for Seniors in Detroit
The city has several supportive services for seniors in the community. One such program is Project Enhance which offers fitness and wellness programs for aging adults in settings such as senior centers, YMCAs, and retirement communities in the Detroit area (and nationwide).
Established in 1980, Detroit's Senior Alliance serves as the focal point for older adults in the region, by funding and administering a network of services. It also provides a large listing of resources benefiting older residents.
Fun in Detroit for Seniors
In 2015, Detroit was named the first American City of Design by UNESCO and is home to the 2nd largest theater district with dozens of historic performing arts venues including the famous Fox Theatre -- the largest Fox theater in the nation.
An ideal city for senior sports fans, Detroit is one of only 12 cities in the U.S. to have all major professional sports teams -- MLB, NFL, NBA, and NHL -- and the only city to have all teams play within a convenient downtown 4-block radius.
Food fans can enjoy the hundreds of restaurants to choose from -- Detroit was recently hailed by National Geographic as the most surprising food destination on the continent. Or one can browse the huge Eastern Market which originated in 1981 and is the largest outdoor farmers market in the nation -- a place offering a variety of local foods sure to please any senior palate.
Sail the Detroit River, or visit a number of unique and interesting museums and attractions in the city such as the Heidelberg Project which has evolved over 3 decades. Detroit is an affordable city for seniors who want to spend their golden years in a thriving city located near lakes, trails and other abundant city life and nature scenes.
