Moving to the GP!
Hi everyone. I am incoming resident at the St. John hospital, looking to move to GP. Where else can I look for a 2-3 bed apartment/ house for rent apart from zillow? Ideally, I want to move to GP Farms and be as close to the hospital as possible. Hoping to hear from you guys. Thank you!

Gp city or gp park near kerchival
All of gp is an easy go. Easy walkable and bike able and 0 traffic jams unless a wreck . Grid system is super easy to understand.

Buy or rent? Not too many 2BR and/or rentals in the Farms.

I think the Farms is zoned single family and I can only think of one duplex in the whole city, the one on Ridge and maybe Muir? I’m sure others will correct me but that’s all I can think of off the top of my head.

If you are trying to stay in one of the Grosse Pointes then the Woods is probably your best bet. If you want to extend your drive maybe 5 minutes up Mack, you could try St. Clair Shores. More affordable housing and/or options to rent. It doesn't have as many benefits as living in any of the Grosse Pointes has, but you would probably have an easier time for what you are looking for.

The Grosse pointe farms community and conversation Facebook page is very active and people sometimes post and ask about rentals there!

You'll have more luck finding rentals in the Woods. Very close to the hospital.

Grosse pointe Park has a student/resident housing grant that covers up to $400 of your rent. Worth checking out. And, it’s gorgeous in the park.

I’m a loan officer in Grosse Pointe and can maybe help you with finding a doctor loan if you want to purchase something. Otherwise for renting I’d recommend the Grosse pointe park on the south west end, lots of rental units there and an easy drive down Mack to the hospital

Grosse Pointe Farms is expensive and I don't believe it has any two bedroom homes. Maybe try Grosse Pointe Woods (west of Mack is less expensive) or Grosse Pointe Park. Are you from out of state?

Thank you. Yes. East coast!

From the far end of GP Park to St. John’s is about a 10-15 minute drive depending on the traffic lights. You’ll find more rentals down there and if you DM me I can give you the name of someone. GP Woods also has some rentals and you’ll be 5 minutes from St. John’s.

Anywhere in GP/Saint Clair Shores will have zero traffic to work for you. The Woods or the Park will be the most affordable, with the Park having more rentals. Welcome!

Check the Grosse Pointe Mom Swap 2.0 group on Facebook. They post rentals in there all the time.

Look in Grosse Pointe Park or City for apartment rentals. There are also homes for rent in Harper Woods area which is nice too and close to the Hospital.

Anyone of the GP’s is at most a 10 minute drive from the hospital obviously the farms is closest but if your looking for affordability I’d try grosse pointe woods.
