Thirty minutes north of downtown Detroit sits Birmingham, an upscale suburb full of historic architecture, scenic parks, and vibrant personality. The city enjoys an exceptionally low crime rate, top-notch schools, and all-around high scores for livability. The centrally-located downtown area (surrounding the intersection of West Maple Road and Old Woodward Avenue) contains a lively mix of locally-owned shops, restaurants of every description, and nightlife activities. Much of the city is exceptionally walkable, thanks to a pedestrian-focused layout plan implemented in the 1990s, meaning that all these wonderful things will be just a few steps outside the front door of your new Birmingham apartment.
