Seasonal Living in Detroit: What to Do (and Decorate!) This Spring

Spring in Detroit is one of our favorite times of the year. The city begins to thaw, patios reopen, parks fill with color, and there’s a fresh energy in the air. At Grant & Main, we’re more than just a Detroit property management company, we’re your neighbors, and we love helping our tenants make the most of every season, both inside their homes and around the city.

Here’s how to soak up spring in Detroit—starting at home: 

Freshen Up Your Space

  • Declutter and deep clean—make room for the new season by donating unused items and organizing closets.
  • Bring in color with lightweight curtains, pastel throw pillows, or seasonal artwork hung with removable hooks.
  • Add plants—nothing says spring like fresh greenery. Try pothos, peace lilies, or even a small herb garden in your kitchen.

Enjoy Spring in the City

One of the best parts of renting with Grant & Main is our strategic locations near parks, cafes, and vibrant neighborhoods.

  • Detroit Riverwalk: Take an evening stroll or morning jog with waterfront views and sunshine.
  • Eastern Market Flower Day: Every May, the market explodes with color—perfect for grabbing spring blooms for your rental.
  • Outdoor Dining: Whether it’s Selden Standard or a hidden gem in Corktown, Detroit’s patios are calling.

Prep for Warmer Days Ahead

Take advantage of the change in season to knock out a few helpful rental routines:

  • Flip your mattress
  • Test your A/C unit
  • Report any repairs to the Grant & Main team so your home stays spring-ready

Our responsive Detroit property management team is always here to help make your rental experience smooth, safe, and seasonal.

Whether you’re new to the city or a longtime resident, spring is a perfect reminder of what makes Detroit such a vibrant place to live and Grant & Main is proud to help renters feel at home here. If you’re ready to find your next rental, our Detroit property management team is ready to help.
