$385/month | Detroit | 700 sq. ft. | Studio 
356 E. Grand Blvd.
While Fido isn’t allowed in these apartments, the seven minute drive to Belle Isle and three minute drive to Indian Village can somewhat make up for that. There are animals in Belle Isle, after all. These St. Paul Manor Apartments have free heat and water, energy efficient stoves and refrigerators and 24-hour video security surveillance.
