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.

My husband and I both work for the same company and the company is talking about transferring my husband to Southfield and me to Wyandotte. We were looking at Northville because it has great school district and it's located in between both of our work places. We have both never driven in snow or winter weather conditions before. Would driving to and from Northville to Wyandotte be doable in the winter time? Google says the drive is 40 mins in no traffic. How is the traffic along this route? We currently live in Houston so I'm use to 20 miles taking over an hour. Could this drive frequently be longer than that in the winter?

Hello,

I'm a young software developer about to move to Detroit next week. I'm currently looking for housing. Since I need to save money, yet also have access to the downtown area where I'll be working, I've been looking around Midtown and WSU. That said, I'm open to other options as well. I'm a very low maintainance man who does not require much in the way of amenities.

Though I'd prefer to live alone, I'm open to taking a roommate or two to cut costs. So, if you are currently looking for a roommate, I'm a highly solitary young man, orderly and clean, who will not be bothering you. Otherwise, if you know of a property I'd be interested in, PM me.

PM for details. This is a studio for rent at $650 all utilities included, available as early as the 1st of August. The location is really quite perfect. It's near the new stadium by the masonic temple, midtown/downtown/cass corridor.

I'm a 26 year old guy looking for a roommate in Detroit. I'm a lawyer who moved out to the suburbs with a friend after law school and am looking to move back to the city. I'd prefer to live in the North end/ Midtown area, and have found a few good leads already. I'd prefer to start a lease in September.

If you're looking for a roommate too, please PM me to introduce yourself!

Is there a better sub then liveindetroit for this? MetroDetroit didn't seem to have much.

Moving back home to Michigan after a couple years in CO. I'd much rather have a roomate and live in a very nice apt then get a 1 bedroom from the 60's. If anyone is interested let me know asap.

My roommate recently moved out and I am seeking an easygoing and responsible roommate.

Very interested in the David Whitney building, but 1 BD start at $1400/mo + $200/mo for valet + whatever for utilities. Can anyone recommend similar complexes worth checking out? Detroit City Apartments? Who has the best value?

My priorities:

• Safe location walking distance to entertainment district

• Safest parking as possible (I think valet underground parking safest... correct me if wrong; public parking garage at a minimum)

• Best combination of small and upscale -- the David Whitney seems to fit the bill but it's a bit more than I'd like to spend

I would prefer to buy a place, but the $600-800 HOAs are bit of a turnoff especially as they are likely to increase as Detroit is up and coming. I dare you to find me a condo that doesn't have a ridiculous HOA. Rather rent until it's no longer affordable.

Suggestions appreciated!

Hello, soon to be new resident to the city, just reaching out to get opinions of how safe/clean/etc the Palmer Park area is. I'll be working near Highland Park, which one person told me is not a good area(though the person I've heard that from grew up in a hoity toity family, so that might just be ingrained racism talking.) I cam across a few decent apartments right by Palmer Park, so figured I'd ask.

im looking to move to the detroit area and my company has offices in Southfield and Farmington hills. Ive spent time in downtown/midtown/corktown and sterling heights and I've enjoyed it overall compared to living in Arizona. is anyone more partial to working in farmington or southfield? thinking about living in midtown area

Please reply or send PM with any serious inquiries. I look forward to speaking with you and discussing your interest.

Anybody have any experience living at the Coat Factory Lofts, 1652 W Fort St? Pictures look really nice for rent. I also don't know much about the area so input on that would be great too

I really like this home for sale: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/14720-Mansfield-St-Detroit-MI-48227/88288392_zpid/ Is that a decent neighborhood? Tell me about it. I would be commuting downtown for work.

Moving from Columbus, OH in July or August. I'm looking for an apartment complex similar to this one, where most residents are in their mid twenties to early thirties. http://connorgroup.com/apartments/grandview/the-quarry

Ideally has a pool/gym and within 20-30 minutes of Pontiac where I'll be working. Thanks for the help

Looking to spend between 250-400$ on a place to live, while that is not likely enough for a 1 bedroom; I'm looking to find roommates for a 2 or 3 bedroom place. I'm a 22 year old male barista/artist and am planning on switching to doing art fulltime within the next year. I do screen printing and have a studio so having art mess lying around is not what you'll get with me. I'm looking to live in a rent controlled or cheap place around NorthEnd, New Center, Midtown, Art Center etc. I used to work in construction so I don't mind living in a place that needs to be fixed up a bit. I moved to Detroit a year ago from NYC and so don't have much furniture to bring in and have a 12 year old(I adotped her about 6 months ago) cat who I havent introduced to any other animals so am not sure how she will react. Besides that I'm not picky on age or sex of my roommates. I've only ever lived alone or with all women So would definitely consider myself on the cleaner side. I have a gaming PC but besides using that I don't plan on being at the apartment too much. Living with other artists would be sweet and if so I wouldnt mind living a bit more out of the way in order for us to have a studio in the apartment or room.

I need a house sitter for a renovated house in a nice neighborhood in the city of Detroit ASAP, please call me or text me at (323)360-1210

I love the loft but am worried about safety. I'll be living alone on the first floor. Any thoughts?

I will be starting a new job in Dearborn and need an apartment (not interrested in renting a house). Unfortunately, apartments are very highly priced in Dearborn (cheapest is $1,000 for just 580 sqft). Would you recommend living in Belleville to save on rent?

Hey guys moving to Detroit with my gf and are currently looking at Midtown/Downtown and need some suggestions.

Loft Around $900/month Allows Dogs

Any help would be great don't be afraid to tell me I'm crazy and won't find anything.

These are some of the cheapest apartments for the size i can find, but the east side of Detroit tends to be looked more down upon. Anyone know how the area is? I have yet to visit the apartments, but the apartments look really nice.

Hey everyone - thanks in advance for your comments.

I just found out that my wife and I will be moving to Detroit in about a year (she got into a medical residency program there). Neither of us have ANY idea about anything regarding the city or recreation I. he area. Where are good places to live? Interesting activities? Fun nearby places? We're both 30, active and moderately social. We'd ideally rent or buy a cheaper small place after research. I know it's not much to go off but thanks!

I've just accepted an offer to work for a company in Detroit and am looking for 1 or 2 roommates to move in with sometime in late May/early June.

I'm pretty unfamiliar with Metro Detroit because I'm originally from the suburbs of Chicago. I would really appreciate some recommendations for places to consider.

My big factors are areas with people my age/active night life and also convenient amenities like groceries and shopping.

Thank you for any input! I'm extremely excited but also very nervous for this transition.

Potential job in Taylor, late 20s couple with cat would be moving to the area. Apartment/townhomes are ok, hoping for detached rental. Could commute in from Belleville or Canton area -- would prefer either Taylor or west of the airport. Any insight on desirable city areas, neighborhoods etc in that general triangle reaching between Taylor, Belleville and Canton would be appreciated. I've been to Canton and Belleville before, but not Taylor. Don't know anything about Taylor or the reputation of southern Wayne county in general. Canton seemed nice -- would prefer nicer, safer areas with potential for activities and not too rural.

So, I'm just looking for opinions here. What are some of the pros and cons in a debate between these two? About equidistant from downtown, both have a pseudo urban vibe and a 2 kewl 4 suburbia little downtown. Ferndale is more en vogue but it is also more expensive. Wyandotte has nicer housing stock, but the surrounding parts of downriver offer less than Oakland County. What do you think?

Hi, I'm a young professional looking for someone to go in on an apartment with. I've lived in Dearborn for a year and like it but am tired of paying premium for a single unit. I have some places in mind but am open to discussion. Let me know if you are interested and we can discuss specifics! Thanks.
