  • Guide to The
    GUIDE TO THE If you are looking for a place to live during your time in the D, you have a rich variety of neighborhoods to choose from, each with their own personalities, history, and amenities. Please refer to the below guide, written by our residents, to help you choose the best place to enjoy the city and people! Created by James Jermls VandenBerg MD & The Residents of DRH Neighborhoods Downtown If you want to fully experience the D, then this is the place for you. The city is experiencing a unique renaissance as historic buildings have been renovated, new restaurants and bars continue to flourish, and large scale murals decorate the faces of our skyscrapers. If you enjoy the hustle and bustle of city life and want to celebrate the most resilient city in the country, then you should find yourself here. o Pros: Not only are you in the heart of all the action, more importantly you can get to work in about 5-10 minutes. There’s a wealth of new and historic bars and restaurants in every direction. This includes Campus Martius Park, which is in the center of downtown and converted into a beach bar in the summer and an ice- skating rink in the winter! You are in the center of all the major attractions in the area, including proximity to all professional Detroit sports, landmark buildings/sculptures to explore, and it’s very dog friendly with numerous dog parks. It borders the Detroit River with multiple running trails including the Dequindre Cut. If you like to gamble there are multiple casinos, and if you like feta and moussaka we have Greektown; o Cons: Generally more expensive than other neighborhoods, and almost exclusively apartment-high-rise living (the city is your backyard now).
