All that surrounds the airport is undeveloped land, hotels, and low density working class suburban neighborhoodsĭTW itself is a very well maintained airport, with 2 very large modern terminals, both which have been built in the past 10 years and they have a nice array of restaurant options.See also: Michigan census statistical areas But Detroit makes me nervous due to its reputation.Īm I over concerned? Or should we avoid Detroit airport and fly into another airport instead?ĭTW is located 15 miles west of the southwestern border of the city of Detroit. In most places we have visited in the past, I am not too concerned about it when it happened. We always use a gps navigator when visiting a new place, it works most of the time, but still taking a wrong turn and a wrong exit happens in every trip. I am worried that if I will put my family in danger by accidentally entering into a dangerous neighborhood if I make a wrong turn and take a wrong exit on the high way. We don't know the Detroit area at all, so I will use a gps navigator for driving directions. I am a bit concerned about the safety of Detroit airport. Our current plan is to fly into the Detroit airport, rent a car there and drive to Ann Arbor.

My family will visit Ann Arbor in summer of 2018.
