Detroiters are redefining what city living looks like.

The couple in this The New York Times article have a courtyard-style inward extension creating light, space, and privacy without leaving the Core City neighborhood.

This is the kind of creativity that makes Detroit stand out. The city's always been a big innovation hub...

Designed by Dash Marshall, this bedroom-free experimental courtyard house serves as an office, a place to entertain and a weekend retreat.

Tuesdays are for townhouses, tours, and tips. But today, we're focusing on the "tours". So here's the scoop today (long post):

Lafayette Park is a historic neighborhood with a lush green space which the neighborhood is named after. The park is tucked away between Lafayette Blvd and Gratiot Ave (allowing for a super-easy walk to Eastern Market 🍏🍓🍒🥒🍇🍉🍌🍅). Just steps away from the Park AND downtown, you'll find Lafayette West —"where city meets park".

If you love downtown living but you also appreciate green space, you'll want to check out what Lafayette West has in store for its residents. Wrapping up in Spring 2023, Lafayette West is a brand new development minutes from downtown and will offer apartments for rent and condos for sale in the Lafayette Park neighborhood.

The Lafayette West development will include great features like:

-parks, private walking paths, and meticulous landscaping
-co-working and a social room with indoor/outdoor recreation space
-sate-of-the art fitness center
-pool with cabanas and lounge area
-on-site pet spa, pet park, and dog run (we know y'all love your fur babies)
-quick and easy access to downtown and eastern market
-secure parking
-electronic vehicle charging stations
-high-end finishes, and so much more.

A special thanks and huge shout out to Gorman of Nika & Co who (on a very rainy day) kindly showed us around and gave us the lowdown on what's to come. Honestly, you should schedule a tour and see it for yourself, Lafayette West will offer unmatched city living for renters and buyers looking for top-notch amenities.

If you want to learn more about Lafayette West , give them a follow to stay updated on progress and visit their website to get on their priority waitlist and for the full details on this new development in one of our favorite neighborhoods.

Lafayette West is listed by woman-led, Detroit-based brokerage, Nika & Co.
