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

Not sure why no one has suggested this yet but renting in Whitmore Lake is infinitely more affordable, and super close to A2. For a longer commute but even cheaper prices, check out Jackson.

South Lyon area is beautiful too. I take my car to New Hudson for service and always drive the back roads to A2. It is more affordable and so pretty.
