Welcome

At The Detroit Dwelling Company, every restored home starts with a gut feeling — and a whole lot of vision. Before it becomes a furnished, feel-like-home rental, it’s usually boarded up, water-damaged, and forgotten. But when we walk into a space for the first time, we’re not just looking at what is — we’re imagining what could be.

• Historic bones worth saving — original trim, hardwood floors, or tile that tells a story
• Solid structure — even if the rest is falling apart 
• Neighborhood potential — walkability, local investment, and community feel 
• Layout flow — can this feel like home with the right design touches?
   

We walk every room, feel the energy, and ask: Could someone feel safe, comfortable, and inspired here with the right work? If the answer is yes — we roll up our sleeves.This process isn’t glamorous. But it’s honest. And it’s how we help restore Detroit, one property at a time.
