Move to The Albert [[formally the Griswold Building) in the gentrified section in Gilbert Park [[ formally Capitol Park) in Gilberttown Detroit.
Are you already earning a middle-class salary [[$45,000+) and have connections for a "guaranteed" job or transferring your business interests? If not, I wouldn't recommend it.
The only incentives there are are for employees who already work downtown AFAIK. Also what is reasonable for you? A price range? A construction quality? Any specific amenities?Quote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.
Why did you leave Detroit. When did you leave and why do you want to move back?Quote:

I agree , the area north of the Blvd is the next hot spot ,I already have tons of people asking about it at work ;-)
