I got a job offer in Warren, MI and I'm seriously considering the move. I'm coming from a large city. A few questions:
1. Which neighborhoods should I look at for a $900-1400 budget?
2. How's the commute situation?
3. Is the crime as bad as the stats suggest?
4. Any hidden costs I should know about?
Thanks in advance!

Public transit needs work but they're investing in it. Should improve in next few years.

Rent tip: look for places in winter. Prices drop and there's more availability.

Coming from New York, the cost of living difference is noticeable. Groceries and gas are cheaper.

For families, I'd recommend looking at Southside. Schools are rated well and it's quiet.
