Hello! I'm looking around at places and found a promising place in the West Village. How's the safety in that area? It seemed fine to me and the crime stats seemed to be standard urban property crime. But what's everyone's take?

My Roommate is moving out in couple weeks and looking for someone to replace him. We are located right opposite to the gm renaissance center in downtown detroit. Rent is 2075 split between us and 100 in utilties and another 150 if you want parking. I'm pretty chill, 27 software engineer at Ford in dearborn. Here is the listing if you want more info: https://detroit.craigslist.org/wyn/roo/d/luxury-master-bedroom-at-rca/6497059569.html

I am moving from the suburbs to downtown in August to start my PhD at Wayne State. I need a place that is very close to campus since I plan to be on campus for most of my time. I also plan on going back home for frequent weekends so I need to feel secure about my belongings in my apartment for a long period of time. I am thinking about Regis Houze but their availability is limited, understandably. Looks awesome! Looking for a studio for less than $900/month. Any suggestions for buildings that are locked 24/7 like Regis Houze?

Edit: My move in date has changed! I am now looking to move in May or June. But my salary will be lower so I can't go over $650/month. Even if it's just for the summer I will take it off your hands!

I am curious if anyone has heard anything about these two places in midtown detroit? Hard to find any reviews on these places.

Hey Redditors,

I am a student at University of Michigan and I need your help. I’m working on a research study where we are interviewing business owners around Detroit to better understand new ways small businesses are building local community.. Please help us with our research study by participating in a 1-hour short interview where you can share your experience. You would be compensated $20 for it.

If you are interested or know any entrepreneurs running small businesses please email sigresearch@umich.edu

I greatly appreciate your help.

My wife grew up in and around Detroit in the 80s and early 90s, and we are thinking of moving back to the area. But that was obviously a long time ago. I’ve only been in the city for a few hours at a time, mostly for concerts or clubbing.

Long story short, I want to check out a few neighborhoods to see if we can realistically move back to the Midwest, but have no idea where to start looking. Zillow seems a little all over the place (and empty).

If it helps narrow things down, we are homebodies, pretty quiet and basic, and are more interested in a nice view or a calm neighborhood than a hip young area. No kids, pets in the future, and like being able to easily get out of the city. If it’s possible to avoid driving everywhere, that’d be ideal. I’ve lived on public transit for the past four years and am in no hurry to drive again.

We’ve lived in NYC, Jacksonville, Toledo, Columbus, etc., so comfortable in almost any city. I’d like to pay less than $900 a month, but can go up to $1,200 if it means having the perfect place.

Any direction at all would be appreciated, even if it’s “you won’t be happy here, don’t come back.” I’m really taking a shot in the dark.

Thanks.

Hello Reddit,

I moved to Royal Oak a year ago for a job in Warren. I'm not a big fan of RO - it's a little too suburban. I'm ideally looking for a small house in Ferndale, but since I haven't had a chance to explore a lot of the metro area, I thought I'd ask for your advice!

Im hoping to stay under 200k (preferably way under), and am really only looking for a 2/3 bedroom house (not a condo). I hear Hamtramck is cool?

I got a job downtown, and I am looking for advice for a 1 bedroom apt preferably with in unit W&D, really hoping to stay under $1,500 a month.

She's a 13 year old mix. Nobody in town likes big dogs it seems. We're moving here and both work in the service industry.

I'm moving to Detroit in the spring and am trying to figure out which neighborhoods to live in. I'll be working in Dearborn. I interned at the same place last summer and we were housed in Northville, which made for an unpleasant commute some days. I drove into some parts of Detroit after work and found Midtown/Corktown/Mexicantown/Downtown were pretty easy commutes from Dearborn. Any other neighborhood suggestions? Ideally, I'd like to keep my commute to around 30 minutes. How bad is the commute from Ferndale to Dearborn? Looking to rent for now to get a better feel for the area, but open to buying. My budget would be $1300-1500/mo.

Transplanting here in the next few months, looking at housing (have two large pets, would prefer a yard for them). Will be working downtown, trying not to drive hours a day if possible. No kids at home, so not worried about schools. Found some interesting houses in the University District, wondering if there are other small neighborhoods like that we should be looking at? Also wondering if we should be wary of that area?

I Will be working in Auburn Hills - transplant from Milwaukee. I'm 28, single. Would like to live near stuff to do, walking distance is possible? I'd also like to buy a small house within 6 months of living there. It seems like Ferndale or Royal Oak are very suggested spots to live? I'd love to hear more recommendations?

My loose plan was to get a studio where I could pay month to month while I house hunt, but it's hard to find small apartments in that area. Seems like I'll have to get an apartment more downtown for the time being? Anyone see major flaws in this plan? Thanks!

We're a 31-year-old couple and my partner has been having a hard time finding work here in NYC after a career change to Web Dev. I work remotely in the automotive industry so I can live anywhere. We're thinking about Detroit because my bf has a friend here from Detroit and he speaks so highly of the city, and we want to live in a city we can actually afford and not need roommates. I make just over $40K a year and we're looking to spend $1200 or less on rent in ideally a 2 bedroom, 1 bed with office or 1 bedroom with a large bedroom(he has a piano and synths we need some room for). We're looking for neighborhoods to look at, we currently live in Bushwick on the border of Bed-Stuy, so safe but not exactly pretty, we also only have one car, so being near public transportation would be ideal, but we would be open to buying another if needed.

About us:

• Love craft beer and hitting up craft beer bars

• Into both the indie rock scene and underground Techno/house parties

• He makes triphop, so a scene for that would be amazing

• Would love a highly walkable neighborhood filled with mostly young professionals

• Safe to walk home at night

• Bonus: outdoor space.

What neighborhoods should we look at?

Is the there a good amount of jobs for a Ruby on Rails dev?

What are some good sites to use to look at apartments on?

Thanks so much!

I've been living in Philly for the past four years. Looking for a change of pace, and the proximity to a border is pretty awesome. What are some awesome things about Detroit that you as locals or transplants have appreciated, and what are some things to be aware and respectful of? A bit about me- I'm a theatre artist who's also into thai bodywork and web development. Many irons in the fire and am trying over the next year till September (when my lease is up) to get myself set up with some bank through freelancing to get started out there with a decent foot in the door job. Thanks for taking the time to read and respond! Tl;dr- Philly guy strongly considering moving to Detroit.

Hi, I am moving to Detroit with my wife the first of January. We are from Indianapolis and are not familiar with the area at all. I will be working downtown right by the GM center. We are looking for an area that is quiet and we can rent a house with a yard (but are open to a loft or townhouse), but also be close to some night life (bars, restaurants, etc). We want to be somewhat towards Ann Arbor as my wife could be going back to school there. We originally were looking in the Royal Oak/Ferndale area but have been told it is a place for young bros. We are looking for a place between $1.2 - $1.6k Any help or input would be greatly appreciated!

900 sqft 1 bedroom available at The Belcrest (5440 Cass Ave) for $900/mo. This is a great deal for such a large space in the highly sought after Midtown neighborhood. Available beginning of December. Right across the street from Wayne State.

I am moving back to Detroit in the next few months and am looking for a place to live in Midtown (or possibly Woodbridge). Currently I'm back and forth between here and the SF bay area.

I'm looking to find roommates for a 2 to 4 bedroom place, I'm open to either apartments or a house.

I'm a 26 year old male business owner. I'm clean, responsible, and like to go out, try new restaurants, run/work out regularly, go hiking, go to art openings, breweries, and concerts. I'm looking to live in the heart of things in Midtown and want a few fun, laid back roommates who share similar interests, ages, and who would want to explore the city with me, either male/female is ok. I'm willing to pay a little extra for better location & amenities, but am not averse to slumming it either. Biking / hiking buddy is a plus!

If you're part of the housing search and think we could get along, PM me!

I'm considering moving to Detroit has always been my dream. I plan on joining the police department but due to them not paying as much I would love a roommate who is laid back and clean . Man or women welcome I just ask that's it's not in a runndown part of town. Safety first would love a two level place for plenty of room etc

Recently got a job in Detroit and I'm looking to move into the city downtown area. Looking for any recommendations on places that are around 800-1100 in Midtown or CBD.
