ABOUT CODY ROUGE
(Click here to view our strategic plan for the future of the community.)
Located on the far west side of Detroit, Cody Rouge is a primarily residential neighborhood of roughly 35,000 people. Our area goes from M-153 (Ford Road) on the South to I-96 (Jeffries Freeway Freeway) on the North and includes Rouge Park on the West over to Greenfield Road on the East. We are a family-oriented community, with the second-most children of any neighborhood in Detroit.
Developed between 1920 through 1950 to house workers in Detroit’s booming manufacturing industry, Cody Rouge offers a large local workforce as well as ample housing.
Anchored by Rouge Park, Detroit’s largest public park, Cody Rouge is transforming itself into a compact urban village. Cody Rouge is packed with amenities for new and existing residents, including mature trees, dense neighborhoods, winding boulevards, baseball and soccer fields, pocket parks and playgrounds, a new amphitheater, a Detroit Public Library branch, and an Olympic swimming pool with diving tower. Our green space includes a native prairie and butterfly walk, mountain and road bike trails, archery range, model airplane flyway, golf course, driving range, the Rouge River, Buffalo Soldiers Heritage Center stables, and the nationally-known seven-acre D-Town Farms.
