Let's see if things keep picking up and maybe Detroit might be a good option for urban living.

It is, currently. And it's not just downtown. It's the whole core area all the way to New Center. The upper part of Cass Corridor is becoming one of the best urban neighborhoods in the Midwest I believe. Outside of that, Southwest is also very walkable and pretty well intact, great neighborhoods like Hubbard Farms down there, full of stunning architecture and you'll even find some rowhomes. West village is another great urban area with plenty of new infill development.
It never got any attention here but the city is also funneling millions of dollars into streetscape renovations on main roads that dramatically increase sidewalk length and add bike lanes. Livernois Avenue which is lined with wall to wall businesses has become a walkable bikeable urban corridor basically overnight and that's nowhere near downtown.
