Detroit's Unique Neighborhoods: Millender Center Apartments

Some people just like renting, or need to rent for awhile, or just don't want the hassle of taking care of a house. There are several rental apartment complexes in the City to choose from, including the Millender Center, located right in the heart of Downtown Detroit. For people looking for upscale downtown apartment living where they would hardly even need a car, the Millender Center Apartments are a good option.

 

The Millender Center Apartment Complex, the largest residential building in Detroit, includes 339 units and penthouses located at 555 Brush Street one block north of East Jefferson. The apartments range in size from 1 bedroom/1 bath at 795 square feet to 2 bedroom/2 bath with 1800 square feet of living space. The apartments are connected to the Millender Center Shopping Complex, which itself is connected by walkways to the Coleman A. Young Municipal Center (the "City/County Building") and the GM Renaissance Center. The building is just two blocks from the Detroit River and offers panoramic views of the river, the city, and Winsor Ontario.

 

Amenities include an indoor swimming pool, a jogging track, restaurants, high-speed internet, laundry facilities, a lounge and fitness center, a 24-hour attended lobby, the Millender Center People Mover Station with Pewabic Tile decor, and an adjacent parking garage. Even cats are allowed for residents. The Millender Center is named for the 1970s and 1980s late African-American attorney and political activist Robert Millender .

Downtown Detroit Starbucks Stores to Close

The choice was $4.00/gallon for gas, or $4.00/cup for coffee. In Detroit it seems that the gas purchase has won. Three of the four Detroit Starbucks stores will soon be closing, it has been announced by the Starbucks Corporation.

The three Starbucks Stores are all downtown: the Buhl Building, the Millender Center, and on East Jefferson and East Grand Boulevard, across from the MacArthur Bridge to Belle Isle. That leaves only the Starbucks Store in Midtown on Woodward and Mack as the only Starbucks in Detroit.

Of course, if the oft-proposed, but never-realized modern mass transit system for Detroit would really come to fruition, commuters and visitors to Downtown Detroit would be able to rely less on gasoline and could spend more time relaxing with their cuppa Starbucks Joe...
