658 W Forest Avenue #2 Detroit MI 48201 MLS #20251023576

Victorian charm meets urban convenience in the heart of Midtown Detroit.

Welcome to 658 W Forest Ave #2, a charming second-floor condo tucked inside a stately Victorian brick beauty in the heart of Midtown. This place screams old-world character—think hardwood floors, original moldings, and architectural craftsmanship you just don’t get in new builds.

Step through the stately front entrance into a grand shared foyer, complete with a decorative fireplace and period details that set the tone for this historic gem. Then, head upstairs to your private second-floor unit where old-world craftsmanship meets modern convenience. You’ll find an updated, sun-soaked interior with in-unit laundry, stainless steel appliances, and a layout perfect for a single city dweller or dynamic duo. Need some fresh air? Slide out to your own private back deck—ideal for morning coffee, evening wine, or spying on the behind-the-scenes setup of Dally in the Alley, Detroit’s biggest community festival (yes, it happens right outside your door).
There’s even a designated parking space in the alley, so you can skip the street shuffle.

You’ll be just steps from Wayne State University and within walking distance to a wide array of bars, restaurants, shops, and some of Detroit’s most celebrated museums, including the DIA. Take the Q-Line to Downtown and enjoy all the action at Campus Martius & Hart Plaza. The Tigers, Lions, & Pistons are just minutes away, or spend your evenings immersed in Detroit’s rich cultural scene—from shows at the Fox Theatre, to performances by the DSO, Jazz Fest and the Electronic Festival.

And here’s the kicker: it’s in the NEZ-H district, so low taxes make this spot even sweeter for owner-occupants.

This is the kind of listing people wish they jumped on—don’t be one of the ones who says, “We hesitated.” Hesitation is how you end up renting. Midtown magic for under $250K? It’s true! Killer price. Prime location. Low taxes. Don’t overthink it.
