Echo Home on 4th Street (Facebook photo)
Condos and apartment dot the landscape in Detroit's Midtown, with new projects underway.
But John Gallagher of the Detroit Free Press points to something different: Eco Homes, a development of about 20 single-family homes under construction at 4th and Alexandrine on the neighborhood's western edge.
The site is the only one in Midtown zoned for single-family houses, Gallagher writes, adding that each house is designed for maximum energy efficiency, with solar panels on the roof, deep insulation on the walls and ceiling and tech-savvy appliances.
As people have learned by now, it's not cheap living in Midtown.
The Eco Homes range from $436,000 to a bit over $500,000.
