Location
Get Directions
Ensuring an easy commute for workers, the Airport neighborhood sits about six miles from downtown Detroit, and buses run regularly between the two locations. Students can reach Wayne State University conveniently via a seven-mile drive on I-94, a bicycle ride down Warren Avenue, or by using public transit. Airport is named for its location -- this is where you'll find Coleman A. Young International Airport. It is also near the GM Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Center, providing the ideal neighborhood for those working at either location.
Thanks to the neighborhood's close proximity to the waterfront, locals tend to spend time enjoying the outdoors by bicycling the paths that line the Detroit River or by exploring Belle Isle's amenities including a zoo, a conservatory, and an aquarium. Downtown Detroit is also a popular destination, home to the popular Riverwalk, Cobo Center, the Fox Theater, and the Detroit Opera House.

dte is expensive
Dte expensive, lazy contractors, if you have an eye for carpentry then you know what I’m talking about. Maintenance here is horrible, placed a request and the only you get is an email to update your request weeks later. Had mice and roaches at one point. Only moved here because of circumstances but once my lease up , I’m not renewing.

Dte is expensive here
The billing for electricity here is outrageous. More than rent. Glad I'm gone.
