Moving to Detroit, One of America's Most Prestigious Cities

Join us in revitalizing the city of Detroit!  We opened U-Haul Moving and Storage of New Center in the once abandoned NBC building in Midtown, so we could help move you to the Motor City.

Founded in 1701, Detroit has been one of the most vital catalysts in the growth of our country.  Known for being home to the 'Big Three' automobile manufacturers Detroit has literally helped move America, something we at U-Haul love.

Detroit has long been a hub for American economy and culture, beginning with the musical renaissance of Motown in the 1940's, and continuing with the art movement that is currently thriving within the city.  If you want to learn more about Detroit and its influence on American culture, be sure to visit the Detroit Institute of Art or the Motown Historical Museum once you make your move!

Information on Moving to and Living in Detroit, MI

With over 20 locations within the Detroit City limits, we make your move easier. Join U-Haul in moving back to Detroit with the tips below!

• Moving to the Right Neighborhood – Looking for Downtown life or suburban life? If you want to be near nightlife and restaurants, look for a condo or historic loft Downtown. Midtown offers a similar lifestyle at a slightly slower pace. Whether you move to Downtown or Midtown, get your parking squared away. Public parking can be scarce, so protect your mobility by ensuring a safe spot for your vehicle. If you are looking for something more quiet, the surrounding neighborhoods offer an abundance of options for suburban living.  Lower Detroit's Indian Village neighborhood is filled with historical homes that offer architectural nuances found nowhere else.  If you want to live in New Center, check out the Arden Park area.  The homes in Arden Park are planted on larger lots are scattered with an abundance of flourishing trees and flowers.
• Keep Detroit Green – There is no need to leave the city to get the freshest produce! Some of the city’s best vegetables are grown right here on vacant lots that have been transformed into flourishing gardens. Join U-Haul and many of the local Detroiters and do your part to keep the city green.  Make sure to visit Rouge Park where we planted over 450 trees to keep Detroit green.
• Not Just Hockey – Although Detroit is known as hockey town USA, the Red Wings aren't the only team in town. One of only 12 American cities home to four major sports teams, head downtown and catch a game from your favorite Detroit sports team any time of year. Whether it’s the Red Wings, Tigers, Lions, or Pistons, root for the home team!
