City of Allen Park

Allen ParkAllen Park was originally a part of Ecorse Township as were many of the present-day surrounding municipalities. Located south of the Cities of Dearborn and Detroit, Allen Park is comprised mainly of middle income residential dwellings with commercial development along the major thoroughfares of Allen Road, Southfield [M-39], and Ecorse Road.

  Industrial plant and warehouse uses have developed in the northern part of the city between the Southfield and Interstate 94 Freeway and Norfolk & Western Railroad which parallels I-94.

Another freeway, Interstate 75, crosses the southeast corner of Allen Park, and is paralleled by Conrail. This access provides the city with excellent transportation linkage to the region and the nation.

The Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport is approximately 10 minutes away.
