Detroit Movers & Moving Services

Moving to Michigan may feel like you're moving to the moon, but Detroit is actually quite conveniently located. With 3 international border crossings, two nearby airports, and inter-city rail access, you'll be happy to know that moving to Detroit doesn't mean isolating yourself from friends and family who live outside Detroit. But while it's surely important to maintain a connection with your past, it's also important to learn a bit about Detroit before relocating.

Although Detroit's economy is most famous for the automobile industry, you may be surprised to learn that a secondary source of income for the city is its sizeable gambling industry. Still, Detroit's economy has suffered greatly as a result of the energy crisis, increasing competition from international auto makers, and the recession that has plagued the United States in the past few years. Despite federal efforts to revive Detroit's economy, the city continues to suffer with an unemployment rate of approximately 23%, which is dramatically higher than the national average unemployment rate of 8.5%.

One good thing to know about Detroit, however, is that housing is extremely affordable, with an average home costing about $70,000. Although many neighborhoods are currently struggling with abandoned houses or run-down buildings, an effort is being made to revitalize the residential neighborhoods of Detroit, and to promote luxury housing in the area, which is significantly more affordable than luxury housing elsewhere.

Because Detroit's city center is located directly on the Detroit River, the city has a particularly stunning skyline, and an interesting array of industrial and recreational activities that are offered on the river. The Detroit River snakes into Canada and is used as a border crossing between the two countries. Take advantage of the river by visiting Belle Isle, a small island that is accessible by bridge, which offers multiple opportunities for cultural events and picnics.

Before relocating, it's also a good idea to learn a few interesting facts about Detroit. Moving, under any circumstances, is difficult, so here are a few things that can make you proud to live in your new city:

1. Detroit's Detroit/Windsor Tunnel is the first tunnel that is shared between two nations.
2. Detroit has the most registered bowlers in any city of the United States.
3. Detroit is the home to the world's only floating post office.
4. There are plenty of famous people who hail from Detroit, including Christie Brinkley, Charlton Heston, Aaliyah, Eminem and Stevie Wonder.
5. Detroit is the first city to install a mile of concrete road.
