Considerations when choosing a Detroit moving company

Moving to Detroit doesn't have to be a stressful experience. Before starting your search, make sure you've gone through the following:

  1. Must-haves, and what you'll be willing to compromise on. You may need to give up certain amenities to live in your favorite neighborhood, or otherwise look for a smaller layout or a different apartment type.

  2. Your search horizon. The ideal time to start searching is between 1-2 months before your planned move-in date. However, don't be stressed if you only have a couple weeks to go; a surpising amount of rental inventory is usually available for immediate move-in.

  3. Your favorite neighborhoods. We've put together a curated list below of some of the more popular areas to get you started on where to live - whether you're moving by yourself or with a family, looking for a residential area or one in the middle of the action.

  4. Documents you'll need when applying for an apartment. These will vary depending on the landlord, but most require verification of employment and income, your credit report, and references from previous landlords.

  5. Whether you'd like to live alone or with roommates. Roommates can mean considerable cost savings upwards of 50%-60% depending on the amount of people

Tips for moving to or within Detroit

Facts about Detroit

Also called ‘Hockeytown USA,’ the city is located in southeast Michigan on the Detroit River. Best known for cars and Motown, Detroit is the only city in the US that allows you to travel south into Canada. With the restoration of several historic theaters, new sports stadiums, and a riverfront revitalization project, downtown Detroit has held an increased role as an entertainment destination in the 21st century. If food is what you are seeking, it’s impossible to go hungry with the 136 bars and restaurants squeezed into space in the one square mile of downtown Detroit.

If you like to bike, there are dozens of cycling events in the city that are as competitive or as leisurely as you like. Monday nights, hundreds of cyclists take a slow-paced tour of the city made prettier by a gang of renegade landscapers named the Mower Gang who beautify public spaces pro bono. If you are a car enthusiast, the Woodward Dream Cruise attracts more than 40,000 classic cars each year. Detroit also sports the world’s largest tire, at 80 feet tall and a staggering 12 tons! Detroit is a music legacy with the success of Motown Records and many artists from Diana Ross, Madonna to Aretha Franklin calling Detroit their birthplace. Be sure to visit the largest free jazz festival in North America, featuring 1000 musicians and over 100 performances every September.
