Welcome to this week's installment of Curbed Comparisons, where we explore what you can rent for a certain dollar amount in various Detroit neighborhoods. This week, we noticed our friends over in Curbed LA chose $1,350 for their Curbed Comparison, so we decided to see what that can get us in Detroit. Yes, we know they have better weather. The rentals are within $100 of our price point. Here we go.
