Residents in Canton Township now have a new option for rental living as Springs at Canton, a 280-home gated apartment community, officially opened its doors this week. The development, located at 1592 Ulmus Road, brings a mix of studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments with private ground-level entrances and attached garage options, aiming to meet growing demand for modern rental housing in the area.
Springs at Canton is the seventh Michigan community developed by Continental Properties, a national firm specializing in suburban rental housing. The project adds to the company's expanding Springs Apartments portfolio and marks its second property in the greater Detroit region.
Features and Amenities
Each apartment at Springs at Canton includes a modern kitchen with updated finishes, in-home washer and dryer, and a private patio or balcony. The community is designed with a residential feel, featuring professionally landscaped grounds and a neighborhood-style layout. Residents have access to a clubhouse, swimming pool, fitness center, package and mail areas, a car care center, electric vehicle charging stations, and two pet playgrounds. Attached garages are available for select units, and all homes offer private entrances for added privacy and convenience.
The property is pet-friendly and includes dedicated spaces for dogs. The development's location along the Ford Road corridor places residents near major retailers and amenities such as Walmart, Sam's Club, Meijer, Target, IKEA, Lifetime Fitness, and BJ's Wholesale. Major roadways connect the community to Plymouth, Ann Arbor, and the broader Detroit metro area.
