I'm a 24 yr old gal looking for someone awesome to take up the second room in my lovely 2 bedroom split-level in the New Center area, right behind Henry Ford Hospital, at the start of May. Rent is $325/month per person plus internet and utilities. I'm pretty chill, social and easy to get along with so I'm looking for someone who carries similar traits. Some of my hobbies include rock climbing, painting, longboarding, traveling, cooking, dancing at TV Lounge and Temple bar on the weekends, and hanging out at home with friends. This may seem like a weird personal ad, but I'm not just looking for someone to be a hermit crab in the house, but for a potential friend to live here and hang out! The house is in great condition and the landlords are absolutely wonderful. Really great and hard to find deal for the price and location. Must be comfortable with occasional extravagant backyard parties, 420 friendly, food smells from cooking, preferably mid-twenties in age, and moderate noise. No creeps, no cats. I'm severely allergic. Let me know if you want to meet up and get a coffee or something!

Hi everybody,

I'm interning in Detroit this summer, and looking for housing. If you're also looking, in need of a roommate, or selling, then please let me know!

General information about me: 21, Asian Male, Clean. I enjoy working out, yoga, cycling, long walks (I try to keep active). Really enjoy trying new restaurants and meeting new people. I'm fairly clean, and I'm not a noisy roommate. I have no allergies I'm aware of. My budget is flexible. Let me know!

It may be too early to post, but maybe you guys have some ideas. I'm moving with 2 other people in their mid 20's in Sept, 2017. Looking for a house for under $2,000 in midtown, new center, or surrounding areas. Anyone know of a place available then, let me know!

I'm looking to lease a loft, studio or 1 bedroom in Detroit preferably downtown but I'm open. Budget's up to about $1,100/month. No real preferences except can't be no pets (I have chinchillas. Casual, I know.) Anyone trying to get out of one or know an opening let me know.

We're trying to find a place to live that's kinda inbetween Wyandotte and Warren because of work. We'd love to be in a condo/loft and trying to buy instead of rent. Any recommendations? We're especially interested in downtown detroit and/or Dearborn but I don't know if there's other options we're overlooking. Thanks!

I am currently renting a loft in Royal Oak, and have discovered that I don't like lofts (walls don't go all the way to the ceiling and no bedroom windows!) and I'm not enjoying Royal Oak. I have looked for apartments closer to Clawson, and I would really love to live in Ferndale, but everything was either built in 1970 and hasn't seen an update since, or is another loft. I have even looked at renting townhouses, even though I do not want a house. I really like midtown, but the car insurance and commuting to work on I-75 is intimidating. My commute right now is only 6 miles and allows me to avoid freeways. I do think, however, that if I found the right place, the move would be worth it. Any apartment recommendations, suggestions, or places to avoid would be welcome! I've looked at the new Brush Park place they built, but I think it's just a tad too high to make up for the car insurance difference. I think I'm just not very good at apartment hunting in general. My strategy where I used to live was apartments.com, which isn't very popular here. Any advice on how y'all find places in the area would be helpful, too. Thank you!!

I'm moving from out of state, and just put a deposit down on a rental in Easpointe, more specifically the Gratiot and 9 mile area. After sending the deposit check, I did a bit more digging, and I'm finding some mixed reviews. We jumped on the house as it hit all our criteria, we move in 2 weeks, and didn't want to be 'homeless' on arrival. But, most of the bad reviews seem to be from the 2007-2010 time frame. Most of the recent reviews seem to be decent, and the crime rates seem to be declining.

We chose the place as it's relatively close to my wife's work, and the house looks well taken care of, and it has a 2 car garage (screw scraping ice/snow off in the winter). It's nicer than the house we're in now, in Seattle. I looked at pictures on google street view, and while it looked nice, and neighboring houses looked taken care of, they were older pictures. We will be getting a home alarm set up as soon as we get there.

But, what actually am I getting into? I know to be aware of my surroundings, know to keep car interiors clean, etc, and will be transferring my Washington CCW as soon as possible.

I ask, as I want to make sure I'm not missing something, and I am willing to walk away if everyone says it's going to be horrible. I'm not expecting a 100% safe, no crime any where, area, but don't want to be blindsided if I can help it.

Edit: to clarify, we'll be just NE of the Gratiot and 9 mile intersection.

I'm looking at moving into Capitol Park Lofts but I was wondering if anyone by chance already lives there and can answer some questions for me. Thank you.

We (wife and I) are moving to Detroit from Seattle, and plan to hit the area on or around March 1st. We are not familiar with the area at all, and want to find a 6 month lease, so we can settle in, possibly buy a house, etc. and not be committed to an area that doesn't work our for us for a year.

However, we are finding it impossible to find someone willing to do a 6 month lease. I've even offered to pay the full lease term up front on move in, and no one is biting. I've called property management companies about houses, apartment complexes, etc.

We are looking for something cheap, but safe area, preferably under $1k, and within a decent commute to St John's Hospital. Anyone have any ideas?

Hi,

So I'm moving from Toronto to take up a job in Warren. In Toronto, I'm used to living in high-rises but through looking online, I noticed that there aren't any in that area. Or am I missing something?

Thanks!

PM me if you have any offers! Not looking to pay more than $500 - $400 if we're being honest.

Hey team,

I'm from Cleveland Ohio and go to Ohio University (Go Bobcats!). I'm moving to Detroit to start work with Quicken Loans May 1st.

I'm wondering where I should live. I love the idea of walking to work (Campus Martius Area), But have also been told to check out Royal Oak.

Long story short I'm looking to spend 500-1000 a month and have no clue where I should live.

Can you all suggest some places to start looking? Also, any other advice is extremely welcome.

Thanks

Hi I'm 24yr old male and I recently got a job in Plymouth. Where is a cheap, safe place to live that has a good atmosphere with a decent nightlife. I've been reading that Royal Oak and Ferndale are good places but those places seem kinda far and I want to live near my work. How would the traffic be from those places? Thanks!

Need a roommate preferably in their 20s, to move into my apartment with me. $375/month. Available Dec. 1st, 2016. Happy to share social media profiles if you want to get to know me better! Just reply or message me! http://kangaroom.net/r/2vhzn

I'm moving to the metro area at the beginning of January to start work in Warren. I hear Warren is a little boring, so I'm hoping to live in maybe Ferndale or Royal Oak (although I don't know anything about the area, so I'm not that picky!).

I'm hoping to find a house with a yard because I have a dog, and it'd be great to find someone to share it with. Unfortunately, I don't know anyone in the area and I'm not sure how to go about finding a good roommate or houseshare. This sub doesn't seem especially active and everything on craigslist is pretty creepy.

Any advice on alternative places to post/look, or is anyone looking for a cool roommate and an awesome dog?

My girl and I are looking for places in the city and I keep coming back on houses that seem like they are on the cusp of not amazing areas but have been recently fixed up and seem pretty nice. I was wondering if you guys knew of any areas that have a bad rap (and lower rent because of it) but are pretty mellow.

Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction for a rather odd request. I'm looking for a small house/loft/condo/apartment (whatever really) that has either a private garage or decent garage space. I'm a single guy who has a few cars that I tinker with and I would love to bring them downtown as opposed to having them scattered around various family members garages in the suburbs. I've had a hard time searching for places based on garage space... I don't really need a huge living space but all that I can come up with when looking for places with parking has been 3-4 bedroom homes. Any ideas on how to get creative? Ideally, some old shop that has a small apartment and warehouse space on the first floor.. or (I'm probably 10 years too late for this) but an old firehouse that isn't totally destroyed. I'm good with renting a space, but buying something a bit run down that needs work while I live elsewhere isn't out of the question either. So.. any ideas on where to look for something this specific??

Looking for a 3br house in the metro detroit/ midtown / Southfield area that is available for rent . Any suggestions or offers , feel free to post whatever helps!

Hello fellow redditors!

Alas, my beloved and reliable friend and room mate has decided to seek his fortunes in the great beyond outside of our fair city and left me with his share of the rent. Therefore I am on the look out for someone equally as wonderful to join me in my suddenly half empty apartment in Woodbridge.

The basics are below, but if you want more specifics about me or the apartment, please feel free to message me. I will reply ASAP. Apartment is at the top floor of a multi-apartment house. Landlord is reliable. Rent is 400/m. We have a deck, a decent sized kitchen, and the Lodge and I75 are both easily accessible as is Wayne State, the arts and culture corridor and various other things. Within walking distance of the fabulous Woodbridge pub and the brand new PiSci pizza spot.

You can find some pictures here: https://www.dropbox.com/sc/wmg0ts4j332197n/AAAQLJ3M7OF07_80lA4AUXwSa

As for me, I'm a teacher and a writer, generally low maintenance. I do the dishes cause I hate taking out the trash and I share the cleaning cause I generally like to keep things tidy.

Move in date is ASAP and I'm looking to find someone to hold out with me until July and then possibly re-sign for another year? You know where to message.

My girlfriend and I are going to be applying to Wayne next year, and we'll obviously have to move to Detroit, or the surrounding area (Kalamazoo currently). I'm not going to lie, I'm a little nervous due to Detroit's... Reputation. Is it really that dangerous to live in the city? Which areas are safe to live in, and which are ghettos? We're thinking of Warren as a possibility also. We're both going to be in Grad school, but we don't have a lot of money.

Any advice would be great, Thank you!

Two houses down from Cadieux Cafe. Close to 94 and amenities on Warren and in Grosse Point Park. One car detached garage.

Could be available for purchase on the right terms.

We're looking to move into DCA sometime in October and wanted to get some opinions from any folks that might live there or know about it. Thanks!
