2461 Atkinson

It’s hard to tell exactly what this four-bedroom home on Atkinson looks like from the listing’s dark pictures, but the exterior is fairly unusual and we’re wondering about this lounge in the basement. The house also has four bathrooms, a breakfast nook, and a pizza oven in the backyard. It’s renting for $2,000 a month.

434 W Alexandrine Street Apt. 206

Over in Midtown, this apartment has an open kitchen/living room, two bedrooms, one and a half baths, and parking available. It’s within walking distance of Wayne State and plenty of shops and restaurants in the area, and close to museums and the arenas. It’s renting for $1,998 per month.

242 Melbourne Street

In the North End, this renovated four bedroom home is so very white. Grey accents both the kitchen and the bathroom, but every other room is just white. The house is located off of Woodward across from New Center and sits on a double lot. It’s listed for $1,999 per month.

420 East Ferry Street

This three-bedroom Ferry Street apartment has seriously beautiful woodwork in the living and dining rooms. The kitchen and bathrooms have also been updated. It’s located close to the museums and Wayne State, it includes parking, and it’s listed for $1,950 per month.

1431 Washington Boulevard, Apt 1911

If you want to be close to all the construction downtown, you can’t get much closer than City Club Apartments. This 19th floor unit has incredible city skyline views, along with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a renovated kitchen. It’s right in between the Book Tower and the Statler Hotel site, walking distance from sports and downtown attractions, and it’s listing for $1,960 per month.
