The property’s own listings carry the only visible check-in date. Trulia shows a $1,055 starting rate and RentCafe shows $1,110, neither dated; Rentable shows $1,240 to $1,520, captured in October 2025. A number without a check-in date is a floor, not a quote.
Is heat actually included in the rent, or only in some units?The property’s individual 2D and 2T floor-plan pages list heat as included. Apartments.com’s general FAQ agrees, with other utilities billed separately. The community’s own marketing copy narrows this to “select homes,” so confirm the specific unit number before signing.

Walk Score rates the address 54 of 100 and Bike Score 65 of 100, per the scores published on the property’s RentCafe listing – car-dependent but bikeable, not the “walkable neighborhood” some listings imply. Every competitor names Ford and Chrysler as nearby employers without a mileage figure; the Ford plant’s address is confirmed above, but no drive time has been independently routed here, so anyone commuting there should check the route before signing based on “minutes away” language.
How far is Westwood Village from Detroit Metro Airport?18.1 miles, about 24 minutes, per Apartments.com’s proximity data.

Applying – What’s Confirmed, What Isn’t
No source captured here publishes a deposit amount, income multiple, or approval-timeline policy for this property, so treat those as questions to ask directly rather than assumptions to make. One concrete detail is confirmed: Apartment Finder’s listing notes the security deposit can be waived through Obligo, a deposit-alternative service, for approved applicants.
What if I can’t afford the full security deposit upfront?Apartment Finder’s listing notes deposit approval through Obligo as an option; ask the leasing office whether it’s currently active for new applicants.
Tenant Rights in Michigan
1.5 months’ rent is the maximum security deposit a Michigan landlord can charge, with no exceptions, under MCL 554.602. A landlord who misses the 30-day deadline to return a deposit, or skips the itemized deduction list, can be ordered to pay up to double the amount wrongfully withheld.
Since April 2, 2025, Michigan law also bars landlords with five or more rental units from denying tenancy based on an applicant’s source of income, including housing vouchers, Social Security, or veterans’ benefits, per the Fair Housing Center of West Michigan. At 540 units, Westwood Village sits well inside that threshold.
What’s the maximum security deposit a landlord can charge in Michigan?1.5 months’ rent, with no exceptions, under MCL 554.602.
