Considering moving to the Detroit office. Worried about safety though. Anyone have experience living in Detroit who can weigh in?

You can live in the suburbs like everyone else. Detroit has some of the most wealthy suburbs in the country. Plus, the city itself is in the midst of a major turnaround.

Live here now. Safety is equivalent to any large city downtown. Good areas are immediate downtown or midtown areas. If you want to live in suburbs then go to Birmingham, Royal Oak, Ferndale areas. Those are all like any town for safety. Just don’t be stupid and you’ll be fine.

I lived in Detroit (the city) for 2 years. It’s okay. there is definitely lots going on in the city core (the 1-2 mile range around the heart of down town), and the city is improving rapidly. There is a ton of private security downtown, but the city still feels unsafe at times. You don’t really get the sense of living in a city when you live in Detroit, so if you want an urban experience - the city is not for you. I now live in Chicago and WAY prefer it here.

I don’t live there but have done a bunch of work on area clients. The office itself seems nice and has some nice views of downtown and the Canadian side of the river.

Thanks P1 - Any thoughts on ann arbor? SO is going for grad school there so considering moving there

I moved to the Detroit office. I live in the suburbs though. Consider living in Royal oak or Ann Arbor.

Ann Arbor is a great city. Nothing to worry about on that side of Detroit. It’s well outside of the city limits anyways

Ann Arbor 😍 〽️

I was born and raised in Detroit and went to school in Ann Arbor. I would echo what PwC1 said. If you don’t go with Royal Oak, Ferndale, etc., Ann Arbor is also a stellar choice. Plenty to do and good restaurants around. However, Ann Arbor is a good 45 minutes away from Detroit (don’t know if PwC has an Ann Arbor office).

If safety is your concern, I have to point out that while EY1 way prefers Chicago, the murder rate and gang activity is higher there as well as the cost of living. Also, while I like to visit Chicago I find everything too spread out. Just my opinion.
