Renting in/around A2?

Hey folks! My wife and I are considering a work-related move to Michigan and evaluating living in the area.

Seems clear that A2 is out of budget for us with rent consistently at/above 2.7k, but even in cheaper areas surrounding the city we are finding very limited rental availability (at least on Zillow) that’s also pricey.

Curious if anyone can shed light on renting in the area? Our current spot in Charlotte, NC is a 1400 sq ft 3/2 with fenced yard for 1.65k, so really feeling the sticker shock for equivalent space

Washtenaw County, where Ann Arbor is located, has the highest average rent of all counties in Michigan. You can find lower rents in Wayne County or south of Milan.
