Get with a realtor who can give you prices and places to look at. I haven't lived in Detroit but I read a lot about the RE and it's sky high downtown and in midtown. You may end up in the suburbs if you can't afford downtown.

LOL. It's "sky-high" I tell you. Only billionaires can afford downtown these days.

Back to the real world, you can rent in Lafayette Park from $600/month and East Jefferson near downtown from $500 a month, and New Center from $400 a month. Only global business titans need apply...

Although, at those prices the chances of vacancies are pretty low. According to statistics on a Crain's article, the total vacancy rate for apartments in downtown, midtown, and the riverfront is around 3.4%. The expensive apartment units are pretty much the only ones that available, as expected.

Contrary to popular belief, there are other decent places to live in Detroit where you don't have to be a business tycoon.

The apartments along Jefferson's "Gold Coast" struck me as interesting if you like apartment living. Close to the nice Riverwalk, too.

I live in East English Village, custom-built pre-war homes 1000 - 2000 sq. ft. mostly. It's pretty nice and very affordable.

I wouldn't live in the suburbs. What's the point? They're like suburbs everywhere. Just stay where you are if that's the case.
