- Detroit has been called "one of the country's best-kept secrets." and we agree. Detroit has a terrible reputation, but as shown in our other video, Why We Love Detroit, it is a city undergoing a resurgence.
Today I'll talk about the top 10 reasons why now's a good time to move to Detroit, Michigan. I will even show you some of those homes for sale for under $5,000. In fact, home prices have doubled in the last 4 years!
Now I don't deny Detroit has its problems, and we are making a separate video about the cons of moving to Detroit, but this video is all about why Detroit would make a great place to live.

My house has gone up 25% in 3 years. I don’t sleep with a gun and my insurance isn’t $8000. My mortgage is $548/month. I was paying $950 for an apartment. I live in a 1800 sq ft brick home that was built to last. I tell people I live in Detroit and they ask why? They don’t know because they have a negative image of it. The turn around of this city in just ten years has been unbelievable. But a $5000 house is not where I would want to live.
Thanks for your comment. Much appreciated!
i am in and out of Detroit. I love the city. This video was real. Noting that work needs to continue to be done is obvious, but so much has been accomplished and there are so many projects that are near completion. Most people are very proud, excited, and can't wait to see what is coming next!
definitely considering selling my home in florida and moving here. Spent 6 months here on military training and absolutely loved it. Plus im tired of the florida humidy and hurricanes.
Most people are going the other direction! Whenever we visit Detroit I think it would be exciting to renovate a home there. They allow for a lot of creative freedom that other places may not allow.
@@ShouldWeLiveHere people are moving north now ?
Detroit is beautiful and thriving like it always has. Blessings to the spirit of the city as well as all of the citizens, peace. Rich and powerful Detroit🍄🦅♥️
Thanks for your kind message. Go Detroit!😊⭐️🙏🏼
Never thought I’d consider Detroit or Michigan, but with the progressive politics lately throughout Michigan I’m looking more carefully and seriously at Detroit. Thanks for these videos.
Thanks for watching. We will also be checking out Ann Arbor in a couple weeks.
We're BLUE top to bottom and it's WONDERFUL! Like an oasis from the crazy
The thing is you want neighbors and a group of people to invest. The “ urban prairie life” is scary being a sitting duck lone house with no neighbors, street lights, or police coming and druggies burning adjacent houses down. I think Architects and developers need to get in and by land lots in a row and create their designs as a showcase. Small home living. Tiny homes. Etc. The city needs to promote and advertise this to architects all over America or world , but they need to hire more city professionals for permitting and contract approvals to expedite the building process.
Some good ideas. We just recently saw another UA-cam video where he showed a neighborhood with some tiny homes being built in Detroit!
Can't do it when used to Los Angeles weather
Winters are hard at times that’s for sure….
This was a great overview of the cultural and events all over.
Thanks ☺️
I love Detroit , been here downtown for 16 years, we have no intention of moving, it has everything we love, pro sports, great restaurants, world class museums and entertainement, wonderful biking and running trails , beautiful Riverfront nearby, Eastern market, great shopping, and extremely nice people and neighbors. We love the four seasons also. Why move anywhere else? All of the pretty affordable price, even though they’re going up quickly.
Glad to hear from a local. Detroit had so much more to offer than we had expected!
so is the crime hype? How is homelessness there?
@@praise_lord_jesus_christ , Of course there is crime here, there’s crime everywhere, and of course there’s homeless , however we don’t have large encampment anywhere along the city like you see in many of the other cities, it just doesn’t exist on our main streets, you see the occasion ones here and there and of course there are some in the inner-city neighborhoods. Downtown and Midtown there are no sidewalk and tent cities. You will see from time to time individuals on corners but it most certainly isn’t on every street, and it tends to be one or two and that’s it. Basically what you see from coast to coast in America no matter what state you’re in today sadly
I just watched my family home burn a few days ago. I'm a third generation Detroiter. It's safe until it isn't. The housing game here is Russian Roulette.
So sorry to hear about your family house burning!
Words that come to mind Fair , Accurate ... and I like that you added number 8 something I think about quite often , Detroit being less prone to NATURAL Disasters
And I’d add the climate for those that enjoy ALL 4 seasons WE get them ALL even though in recent years our winters aren’t as cold or snowy as in years past .. But I’m certainly NOT complaining about THAT !
Thanks for your comments. Really appreciated! ⭐️😊⭐️
I hope they can be able to save some of these homes.
We agree! The Fitzgerald neighborhood did a great job renovating some homes- we hope many others follow.
They can be seen in our other video here ua-cam.com/video/J6AnDwUM49s/v-deo.html
They have torn down so so many. Urban prairies just blocks in. There has been a horrible culture of burning houses. Drug addicts burn. They bulldozed and did not salvage beautiful details. Gone. Current and previous mayors trying to remove blight which is good but little grandmas are sitting in single houses in the middle of a prairie.
You forgot. Number 11 it's history. Amazing old architecture, central train station-biggest in The world, Hudson the largest department store in the world, bells island oldest aquarium or zoo in the world, oldest paved roads in the world etc
Very true! Thanks for your comment!💯
@@ShouldWeLiveHere likewise
One thing for sure you have to know the city. I was born here know the city and love 💘it.
Thanks for your comment! Gotta love Detroit…😊👍🏻
Yes I agree!! Everybody needing housing go to Detroit!! and canada will let you in if you wear a queen charlie Tshirt.
…
where are you going to eat? shop groceries? are you going to fence up ? ? windows and doors too? after you fixed up your house after SPENDING $100k on it? if not more
Renovating one of these houses sounds exciting but truthfully probably more than we are up to at this point in our lives. 😁
Detroit is looking good! I love Detroit!
I am thinking of moving to Michigan but I want to be in a safe neighborhood
Where are you thinking of moving to in Michigan?
Lived here Forever. It's a total s. E
Should I move to Detroit from Chicago? It's like a war down here every day. I just want to know is it worth moving there to get away from this war zone, or will I basically be in the same situation?
There are definitely other places in the
the US with less crime than Chicago or Detroit.
Why is the car insurance $8000.00
It of course depends on the type of vehicle and the amount of coverage but rates in Detroit are higher because of the high crime rate, the state has no fault insurance, and a lot of people are uninsured drivers.
My car insurance is $1692 per year, I live there.
And the night life is different.
😎👍🏻
When you buy an inexpensive home in Detroit you better be ready for the whopping taxes they add to the sale. I have mentioned this before $5000 and up car insurance. Crime rate. Lack of schools. Most major grocery stores have pulled out. Wake up people.
We appreciate your comments and have included them in our latest video about the reasons NOT to move to DETROIT ua-cam.com/video/dzhlaowPyS8/v-deo.html
We have a democratic governor that she passed new insurance bill half price insurance now..my auto insurance now in hslf
@@Scott-pg3ut Good to know! Thanks for watching…😊👍🏻
I’m a realtor in the area and the property taxes are much lower compared to surrounding suburbs. Especially for a normal sized house under 2,000 sq ft.
@@trinab9587 Good to know! Thanks for your comment…😊⭐️👍🏻
Actually 10 years ago would have been the time to buy.
If only I had a Time Machine…😊👍🏻
I think if you buy a home in Detroit you'll always find yourself in the suburbs for shopping and on your way up n back to your house from a shopping trip looking over your shoulder , pausing at stop signs and probably running a few red lights while always keeping your head on a swivel for the bad guys.
Good point!
If you buy a house in a run down area, which I wouldn’t advise, but that’s overkill running red lights. Stay on the freeway and main streets and you’ll be fine. Buy in a decent area with like minded neighbors. You can tell by how well they keep up the exterior of their house. Lastly, your head should always be on a swivel wherever you’re at.
@@trinab9587 Good to know! Thanks for your comment.
Depends where. there are areas or certain stretches of roads even Woodward you do run lights so not sitting there in dark alone or even in daylight.
well this canadian fellow made it lol
he made more than 4 stops
I think the fight is a strong reason the houses are so inexpensive...I'll pass :)
:)
This channel doesn't want to be the shade room due to not stopping to film the angry shouting among people 😅
😳
Looking for Detroit ash Buyers
…
🤦🏾♂️ Why would anyone use spray paint graffiti in a playground? You should want it to look like the suburbs, not the hood 🙄
I agree!😊⭐️👍🏻
Yeah you can find a cheap home, but a lot of times you will have to put 40k to 100k to move in.
"we tried to take a video of a house that just sold for $4700 but there were almost a dozen people having an angry yelling match..." - honestly that made me laugh but you almost lost me there too because all i know about detroit are old stereotypes from violence stats that were at some point touted in the news. I kept watching out of curiousity though because I didn't want that to ruin actually learning more about the city and communities within it.
I’m glad you watched the rest of the video. Hopefully that incident with the yelling match was just a fluke….😊⭐️👍🏻
You missed a lot of things but that's my secret.
Any hints?
Careful! The homes you actually want to live in cost twice as much. Still, affordable
👍🏼
What about a refurbished 50k house with a 281$ a month mortgage? Would there be tons of taxes on it?
@@transdiycigarandfoodreview7910this is question my hubby want answer to also
Don't listen to this guy he's a con artist land bank is a joke...most of the Eastside looks like an apocalypse. You buy and fix one of the houses the rest of the block looks like hell. Then there's the crime everyone is killing each other. The only thing money has been put in is downtown. I don't know why this guy is conning people into moving to Detroit but I know about Detroit more than he does I lived there most of my life and I still go there to visit relatives and I don't live far away. Like the old saying goes nice place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there. And I'm skeptical about saying nice place to visit.
It’s never a good time to move to Detroit. Always a good time to leave Detroit. The houses are cheap for a reason!
Please check out our Detroit revitalization video. You will be amazed at all the great things happening there…
Please do not come here if you are racist however. We are not that type of city.
Well put…🙏🏼
It’s just so sad what democrat policies has done to Detroit.
We were actually very happy to see so many improvements being made in Detroit. Many are being made at the grassroots level by people who want to improve their communities.
All the decline happened under Republican policies. The Dems are building it back.
Cheaper than the cheapest eastern and Southern European countries . More like central Africa 😂😂😂😂
Houses definitely affordable- but property taxes, repairs, and health care -not so much….. It sure is tempting though to buy a home in Detroit and make it something unique.
only in detroit where graffitis are works of art
😎👍🏻
Some of that "grafitti" is actually commissioned by various civic organizations
IF YOU HAVE KIDS DONT DO IT. SCHOOLS ARE HORRIBLE. PROPERTY TAX IS HIGH. AUTO INSURANCE IS HIGH. AND YOU PAY 2.5 PERCENT IN CITY INCOME TAX. CANT WAIT TO LEAVE.
I moved out of Detroit in 2020…never going back, i dnt care if i can get a mansion for 200k.. we good
Where did you end up moving to?
Been living downtown for 16 years , you most certainly can’t get a mansion for 200,000 anymore, in fact you can’t buy a one bedroom condo for that now. Not quite sure where you lived.
You must've lived in the slums damn lol
Good don’t come back we don’t need that negativity anyway
Can you tell us more about why you feel this way please?
