Allen Park, MI

114 Apartments for Rent

Allen Park has something no other city can boast of: the largest sculpture of a tire on the entire planet. It's a Uniroyal tire that has called Allen Park its home since 1966.

Spanning just a little over 7 square miles, Allen Park is a small (obviously) city in Wayne County, Michigan. It became an incorporated village in 1927 and then an incorporated city in 1957. That's not what makes it impressive, however. It has a couple of claims to fame. First, many of Ford Motor Company's buildings call it home, and second, CNN Money Magazine named it one of the best places to live (2008).

Moving to Allen Park

The good news about Allen Park is that housing costs are pretty reasonable. Rental rates are affordable compared to many other areas for 1, 2, and 3 bedroom apartments as well as rental homes. And you can certainly find more expensive rentals if you're willing to shell out a few more bucks for additional amenities.

Neighborhoods

Allen Park has several neighborhoods from which you can choose when you're looking for houses or apartment homes to rent. You'll find many shopping and dining venues throughout, as well as parks and recreational facilities. There's even public transportation for days when the cost of fuel makes you hang your head in despair. 

Wick Road/Reeck Road: Home to Panhandle Park (what a name) and George Moore Park.

City Center: Decisively urban and more trendy than many other parts of this city, City Center is primarily made up of single family residences, but there are some apartment complexes as well. If you can find an all utilities paid apartment, you'll never want to leave.

Fox Avenue/Champaign Road: Here, single family homes and small apartment buildings rule the roost. This neighborhood is highly walkable.

Moore Avenue/ Vine Avenue: Offers some options if you're looking for 2 or 3 bedroom houses for rent or want to focus on apartment homes.
