What are the best places to live in Detroit?

I got a new job in Michigan so I’ll be moving out of state (I’m currently in Illinois) next month. I’m looking for somewhere to rent. What are the best places to live in Detroit, MI?

Bagley, Palmer Woods, and Sherwood Forest are some of the best places to live in
Detroit
. The great thing about Motor City is that it has diverse neighborhoods that will suit a range of interests.
To help you decide on the best place for you, here’s a list of factors to consider when you’re picking where to live in Detroit:
  • Lifestyle: Being close to places you enjoy frequenting will make a big impact on your lifestyle. For example, if you’re a foodie, look for a neighborhood where you can easily visit restaurants without having to drive far.
  • Commute time: You’ll want to look for a place that is relatively close to your office to cut down on time spent in your car—unless you don’t mind long drives and burning through gas!
  • Cost of housing: Certain neighborhoods will be more expensive than others. If you have a budget in mind, finding out the average rental costs by neighborhood will help you narrow down your options.
  • Crime rate: Moving to a new city can be stressful. Picking a neighborhood with low crime rates will help ease that stress since you’ll know you’re safe!
Before you move, check if your car insurance meets the minimum liability coverage requirements in
Michigan
. You can also take this time to shop for better rates on the
