Hi everyone,

I’m 23F coming to Michigan for work in Dearborn and i’m trying to finalize where i want to live. Safety is my biggest priority, but i’d also love an area that feels nice for a young professional, has cafes/restaurants nearby, isn’t too isolated.

I’ve narrowed my search down to apartments in these areas:

- Plymouth

1. Plymouth Heritage
2. Starkweather Lofts
3. Z on Plymouth
4. Plymouth Collection
5. Hines Park Place Apartments

- Novi

1. Saddle Creek Apartments
2. Edge at Novi
3. Rover Oaks West

- Ferndale

1. FerndaleHaus Lofts
2. on Nine
3. Vested Heights apartments

- Canton

1. Springs at Canton
2. Pilgrim Village
3. Village of Canton Apartments
4. Heather Ridge Apartments
5. Fordham Green
6. Turnbury Park

I’d really appreciate any feedback from people who have lined in or toured these places.

Which ones would you recommend?
Is there any I should absolutely avoid?
Any issues with management, maintenance, safety, bugs, theft?
Are there any other apartment communities in these areas that I should add to my list?

Thank you so much! Coming to a new state is a little overwhelming, so i’d really appreciate any local insight!

I was driving through my parents neighborhood and noticed every single house had a Tringali black garbage bin except for my parents house. Did everyone get a free bin at one point or did everyone have to pay for one?

Hi everyone! I’m a 22-year-old female moving to Michigan for work and currently looking for a studio or 1-bedroom apartment in Troy or nearby areas.

A few things I’m looking for:
• Safe area, especially for a young woman living alone
• Budget: around $1,000–$1,500/month (can be a little flexible for the right place)
• Prefer a newer, well-maintained apartment with good amenities like in-unit laundry, and secure parking
• Walkable area or close to coffee shops, grocery stores, and restaurants would be a huge plus
• Furnished options are also welcome, but not required
• Easy commute to Dearborn would be ideal

I’ve heard good things about Troy, Royal Oak, Canton, and Plymouth, but I’d love recommendations on specific apartment complexes or neighborhoods that are safe and have a nice community feel.

If anyone has lived in the area or has any suggestions (or places to avoid), I’d really appreciate the help. Thank you!

The sub has been inactive for quite some time but is now open for posting again. I noticed posts that Oakland County specific discussions were getting posted on r/Detroit or r/Michigan. There are appx. 1.3 million people residing in Oakland County so I figured we could use an OC specific space.
