The area is centered just west of the intersection of Woodward Avenue and Grand Boulevard, and is bounded by the Virginia Park Historic District on the north and the Edsel Ford Freeway (I-94) on the south, John R Street on the east and the Lodge Freeway on the west. New Center, and the surrounding areas north of I-94, are sometimes seen as coterminous with the North End, but, in fact, are separate districts.
