Situated near the Detroit River, the Finney neighborhood gives locals great views of the river and the skyline of Ontario, Canada. Commuters enjoy the neighborhood's easy 10-mile commute to downtown, and families appreciate the neighborhood's great schools, including the East English Village Preparatory Academy, the JE Clark Preparatory Academy, and the Ronald Brown Academy.
Mature trees bring a feeling of nature to the area, while East Warren Street gives residents access to shops, diners, and other urban amenities. If you want to be in walking distance to restaurants, look for apartments for rent near Warren or Mack Avenues.
