Established in the 1970’s, Yorkshire Woods sits on the Northeast side of Detroit bound by Kelly, Whittier, I-94 and Morang Street. The area was originally woodlands and parks. The first residential home in the community was built in the early 1920’s and the home still stands today, occupied by the original family who built it. Yorkshire Woods is made of up both owners and renters, seniors and youth, newcomers and those who have stayed in their current homes for decades.
