Real Advice from Detroit Movers

We asked local movers about what you should know about moving in Detroit. (They’re really nice!)

"It's often a good idea to pack small loads and make multiple trips. Also be aware that there are no official loading zones around the dorms for move-out. All of the usual Ann Arbor parking regulations will be enforced."

Major Neighborhoods in Detroit

Detroit is Michigan’s most populated city and birthplace of the modern automobile — hence the nickname “Motor City”. But it's also home to Motown Records and a great live music scene. And it's one of only four US cities to host pro teams in all major sports: football, baseball, basketball, and hockey. So whether you spend your weekends going to games at Ford Field, exploring museums, or trying new restaurants, there's a Detroit neighborhood you'll love to call home.

Downtown Detroit

There is no shortage of iconic landmarks and attractions in Downtown Detroit. The skyscrapers of the Renaissance Center are the most eye-catching, but if you don't want to keep craning your neck up, check out the flowers, holiday lights, or artificial beach in Campus Martius. There's also the historic Greektown, which has been a culinary and cultural center in the city since the 1800s. Thinking of joining Downtown Detroit's community? Hiring professional movers who know the ins and outs of the neighborhood's unique layout is invaluable.

Midtown

The core of the city's arts and culture is undoubtedly Midtown. Previously known as "Cass Corridor" (and you'll still hear some locals call it that), it's home to the Detroit Cultural Center, a complex of museums and galleries. You'll also find Wayne State University's sprawling campus in the area and West Canfield Historic District's restored Queen Anne-style houses. However, consider hiring local professional movers if this area has you charmed enough to start planning a move. They're so familiar with the neighborhood, they'll save you time even through the festival and event crowds.

Corktown

Once home to Irish immigrants in the 1800s, Corktown's name pays homage to County Cork, Ireland. It's Detroit's oldest neighborhood, and has iconic landmarks like Michigan Central Station. Up and down the main thoroughfare Michigan Ave, you can find vintage shops, restaurants, and modern cafes like Bobcat Bonnie's (there's a mimosa bar!). Planning a move here can be a little intimidating, since navigating the narrow streets and limited parking options isn't easy. But hiring professional movers versed in Corktown's layout can ensure a hassle-free moving experience.

Woodbridge

Woodbridge is best known for its green spaces, proximity to other popular areas in the city, and Victorian-style homes. One is the Hunter House, a former bed and breakfast turned into a Historic Site. Another is the Trumbullplex, a housing collective with an art space and zine library open for public viewing. But if historic homes aren't your thing, you can try riding in the Woodbridge Bicycle Garden and look at the bicycle sculptures there instead. Our local movers can ensure your transition into the Woodbridge community is seamless and worry-free.
