They're mostly destroyed, but you'll see remnants. Dexter & Linwood corridors around Davison were the center. Basically west of Woodward, north of Grand Blvd. The old Jewish corridor.
It's hard to imagine, but this area used to be full of upper middle class, art-deco apartment buildings. Neighborhood was nice until the 1960's, and intact until the 1990's:

The only semi-intact art deco apartment district is just south of Palmer Park, just north of McNichols, just west of Woodward. This was the gay district until the 1990's (I think still popular with AA gays?) and may still be salvageable:
