The first settlement in Harper Woods, Mich., was established when a man named Casper Salter put down a claim along a rugged wagon trail called Pumpkin Hook Road, nearly 100 years before the town was incorporated. Salter and Pumpkin Hook must have already been taken, right? Although, Salter did get a park in town named after him as a consolation prize. Lying in the east suburbs of Detroit, Harper Woods is just north of Grosse Pointe, made famous in the John Cusack film "Grosse Pointe Blank." It's on the plain less than a mile away from the shoreline of Lake St. Clair and the Canadian border beyond. The nice mix of owner occupied properties and apartments for rent make Harper Woods a good place to search for a new home or even short term housing on a month-to-month basis.
The vacancy rate for rentals here is just slightly over the national average. That makes it a place that's going to have units available to move into but not a glut by any means. Be proactive when it's time to start your search and get on it right away. Be prepared to fork over first, last and deposit and to pass a credit check. If you have pets, you will likely need to pony up a pet deposit at most rental apartments in Harper Woods. Make a list of places you are interested in and work through it methodically to find your perfect match!
