Area Information

Detroit is a city in Wayne County, Michigan. The oldest city in the Midwest and the most populous city in Michigan, Detroit, is emerging from its former glory as the automotive capital of the world. Those renting in Motor City can immerse themselves in some of America's most rich and diverse history.

Detroit is the birthplace of Motown, the record company that launched the careers of many music legends, including Marvin Gaye, the Temptations, Diana Ross and Michael Jackson. This legacy is alive and well at nightclubs, theaters, outdoor venues and the Motown Museum.

Each of Detroit's various neighborhoods has its own personality. Renters in downtown Detroit enjoy a walkable riverfront, casinos and a choice of sports venues, theaters, bars and restaurants. The Campus Martius Park area, a '24-hour neighborhood,' sits at the center of downtown and offers historic architecture and a mix of lifestyles. Frequent flyers living in the suburbs of Dearborn and Wayne have easy access to the Detroit Metropolitan Wayne CountyAirport, and are just about 10 miles from downtown.

A 20- to 45-minute drive northwest of downtown, the town of Novi is known as a shopping destination, thanks to the massive Twelve Oaks Mall and the chic indie boutiques located there. The Macomb District, which is considered Detroit's 'East Side,' features miles of recreational shoreline along Lake St. Clair and the open-air Mall at Partridge Creek, where pets are welcome. It's a 30- to 45-minute drive to downtown Detroit from Macomb.

For a quiet, suburban setting, Oakland County is just about 12 miles from downtown. There, the cities of Ferndale, Royal Oak and Birmingham each have a downtown center, providing shopping, dining, parks and music venues.
