There actually is a "point" in Grosse Pointe Farms. If you stand at a spot just east of the Grosse Pointe War Memorial, you'll see a large bend in the lakeshore where it turns enough so that people on the shoreline face east, instead of south, as they do along other spots on the shoreline.
Grosse Pointe Farms used to be where the rich and famous of Old Detroit chose to make their homes, back in the glory days of the auto industry. The auto industry executives loved the ideal combining lakefront living along Lake St. Clair, with easy access to downtown Detroit. Today, Grosse Pointe Farms is a little more accessible to average joes than it used to be, but you can still sense the old money heritage in the well-maintained, tree-lined streets. One thing that hasn't changed, though, is the fact that Grosse Pointe Farms has an awesome location, especially if you work in downtown Detroit. Lakefront living close to the city? Sign us up.

Balconies are a coveted amenity for many renters looking for high-rise views and opportunities for fresh air. However, you should keep in mind that balconies often come with restrictions.
Before signing a lease, ask about how many people can be on the balcony at once. Also, ask about whether you’re allowed to store a bike or other items.
You’ll also want to know about any maintenance schedules. Using your balcony as storage could result in fines and intervention from your property management.
Keep in mind that not all balconies are created equally. You may discover the views of the parking area are less than optimal or reduce your overall privacy.
Balconies can also get messy with debris, foliage, dirt, and pollen depending on your location. Renters are typically responsible for any clean-up and basic balcony upkeep.
Regardless of the issues to keep in mind, balconies are usually a big win for Grosse Pointe Farms renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
