Royal Oak offers a diverse selection of apartments for rent in this welcoming Detroit suburb. Located just 14 miles north of downtown Detroit, Royal Oak features one of the largest downtown districts in the metro area.

The Detroit Zoo, which partially extends into Royal Oak's boundaries, serves as a notable landmark. The Royal Oak Farmers Market, operating since 1925, continues to be a community gathering spot. Tree-lined streets and well-maintained neighborhoods characterize this established suburb, which offers convenient access to both downtown Detroit and the surrounding metropolitan area.
