Midtown | $963/month | 484 sq. ft | Studio 
4830 Cass Ave, Detroit
Sure, this studio apartment is pretty small, but you live above a freaking Tim Hortons! Just imagine the smell of fresh muffins and bagels being cooked below you every morning! And the coffee! Canada is basically below two floors down so what are you waiting for? Plus, you’re super close to WSU and the rest of the Midtown area.

Downtown | $1,100 | 553 sq. ft | Studio 
100 Riverfront Dr., Detroit, MI
Ok, so you're going to have to scrap up another hundo if you wanna live here, maybe even more if you wanna get fancy. You do get what you pay for here though, there's a pool and tennis courts, a gym, and your cat/dog is more than welcome to join you in your abode. The views of the river and Canada don't get much better and it’s literally right next door to Joe Louis and Cobo.
