    Default Does anyone know any celebrities that have houses or apartments in Detroit City Limit

    As I know many celebrities still live in Metro Detroit, but not that many live in Detroit City Limits, I know Kid Rock owned a house, so does Tony Hawk and actor Harper Hill, but anyone else's?

    Kid Rock purchased a house a few houses down from the Manoogian Mansion. I don't know if he actually lived there. I just remember some very loud parties.

    You can scratch Kid Rock off the list of Detroiters. It’s a mutual thing!

    Aretha had multiple homes I think. Not sure if Big Sean owns anything.

    Has Eminem ever owned a house in city limits? Kinda lame that he always had some ugly sprawlburb mcmansion.

    I'm not at liberty to say who, but through my former employment I know of several Athletes past and present have apartments downtown. Most of them probably have home elsewhere but they must spend at least some time in the city.

    Wes Borland, guitarist for Limp Bizkit, and wife Carré Callaway of Queen Kong bought a house on Arden Park about 5 years ago. Still there?

    I saw Thon Maker exiting an apartment building last spring, so I presume he is one. Kind of hard to miss that guy.

    Pretty sure Christian Wood lives in the Broderick. When he was the first person in Detroit to get Coronavirus there was a report that a resident in the Broderick had it, who also had a history of domestic travel and contact with an infected person. All of that plus it's been known to host some athletes during their time here.

    Joni Mitchell had a fifth-floor walk-up apartment in the Verona building on the corner of Cass and Ferry by Wayne State in the 1960’s, this one.

    They did a good job rehabbing that house. It made an interesting tv show.

    Dream Hampton creator of the Surviving R. Kelly documentary lives in the huge 1300 building on Lafayette and "Sugar Man" singer Sixto Rodriguez lives in a private fenced in home in Woodbridge. Anita Baker & rapper Kash Doll both live somewhere in GPF but that's all I can name off hand.

    The fact is, most "celebrities," whether they are from Detroit, Chicago, Atlanta, where ever, end up moving to LA or NYC. Athletes tend to move to LA or Florida.

    Stevie Wonder - 18074 Greenlawn St [[Bagley)

    Notes:
    - Big Sean grew up on 6 & Northlawn [[same exact block as Royce da 5’9” but not at the same time)
    - Snoop Dogg use to spend high school summers with his dad in a home on Woodhall near Cadieux & Morang and worked temporarily at the McDonald's at Eastland Mall.
    - Tee Grizzley grew up in Warrendale on Greenview & Constance.
    - DeJ Loaf is from Fairview Manor Apartments near S.E. High School on Fairview & Mack Ave.
    - Bizarre from D12 still lives on 7 & Stout Street.
    - Smoky Robinson & Diana Ross lived 6 or 7 houses apart from each other before she moved to Brewster-Douglass.
    - LeVan Hawkins [[Pizza Hut and Burger King owner) lived in the Riverfront condos [[along with Rosa Parks) before he went to prison.
    - The Aaliyah link [[https://gramho.com/media/1622667546631867752) with late 80’s/early 90’s childhood images paired with images of the home as of 3 years ago is pretty sad.
