Understand
Highland Park is not highly regarded as safe city. Visitors should not visit Highland Park at all after dark. The city of Highland Park became financially insolvent in 2002 and it was largely placed under the control of the county government.
Hamtramck is home to numerous bars and entertainment venues which stay open 7 days a week until 2am. Exercising excessive caution is not necessary when visiting as since most of the neighborhoods are safe. Applying common sense as one would when visiting any city is all that is necessary.
