Neighborhood

Downtown Birmingham, Michigan, features a lively array of activities on any given day. From Vietnamese back ribs to house-made sorbets, the farm-to-table Tallulah Wine Bar & Bistro changes its menu seasonally to complement local, organic foods, while staffers bring you the best vintages from Michigan's wine country and from around the world. Catch the latest blockbuster flick in one of the Emagine Palladium's luxury seats, or take the kids to the Robot Garage for hours of block-building fun.

The center of Birmingham sits around 20 miles north of downtown Detroit. Just hop on Interstate 75 for a quick drive south to reach the heart of Motor City. You can have suburban charm and city excitement when you rent a home or condo along Woodward Avenue or Brown Street, close enough to walk to everything that happens in downtown Birmingham.
