Hello.... I'm moving to Detroit from Chicago and I'm looking for a place to live. I've heard great things about Royal Oak, Birmingham, and Ferndale, but a lot of apartments online seem to need of a modern-day facelift. I'm excited to be in the area, and to find a house with historic charm and character, but I'm struggling to find one that suits my needs right now.
Which brings me to explore some opportunities in downtown Detroit. I know it's not Chicago, but I do like a great view, a building with a gym, maybe a roofdeck, close proximity to cool new restaurants, bars, parks, lake front, or something. Are there lofts, condos, high-rises, or any places downtown that are super-cool, totally safe, and have modern appliances? I'm in desperate need some help, please?!
- What are the areas, places, or locations to search on Craigslist, ie search for "Corktown" or "University District" or something?
- Do you know of any rental agents that are active downtown? If so, please share a reference?
- Is there a better way to search for good housing downtown?
Thanks guys. I look forward to joining the Detroit/Michigan community! Cheers....
PS: I'm a marketing/sales guy in my early-30s, single, with a dog. I don't need much, but I like get out and run or walk my pooch at various times during the day/night. Hopefully that's not a deal breaker downtown!
