Centered around Grand River Avenue and upheld by the Downtown Development Authority, Downtown Farmington is the heart of the city. The DDA is dedicated to promoting business and preserving historic architecture in this eclectic district, and you’ll find everything from trendy boutiques to historical landmarks like the Farmington Civic Theater here. Residents can also enjoy a variety of family-friendly eateries. Downtown Farmington is continuing to expand upon its greatness with plans for more green spaces and retail spots in the future. Renters can find a few apartments in long-standing buildings located just outside of downtown. Also outside of this thriving district, residents have access to sprawling parks like Heritage Park, and commuters will appreciate the neighborhood’s proximity to the Interstate 696 and 275 junction.
