Corktown
An 800-square-foot apartment in a brick building on Wabash Street is renting for $950 per month. The one-bedroom, one-bathroom residence has some hardwood floors and wood trim that seem to be in great shape. There’s a living room and little dining nook next to the kitchen, though it does seem a little cramped. Tenants pay cooking gas and electricity. The building itself has some nice stone accents on the exterior and is just a few blocks away from Michigan Central Station.
