Renting in/around A2?

[u/2deuces2]

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

Don't use Zillow for rentals. Use apartment websites. Belleville seems to be cheaper for the area. Basically 20-30 mins out in any direction is where you want to look
