Outer Drive Apartments

At Outer Drive Apartments, L.L.C., we have been locally owned and operated since 1967. Our commitment to providing a peaceful and quiet residential environment has been a cornerstone of our operations. As a family-run business, we prioritize maintenance, day-to-day operations, and prompt service. Our aim is to offer affordable and newly renovated 1 and 2-bedroom apartments that cater to individuals seeking a comfortable and well-maintained place to call home.

Our History

Our story began when Bill and Beatrice Deering, lifelong residents of Bad Axe, recognized the need for apartment housing in the area. They commenced construction on Outer Drive Apartments in 1967, adding a second building the following year. The apartments were purchased by Bryan and Pam Deering in January of 2020, after Bill and Beatrice retired and passed on the operational and administrative duties to their son and daughter-in-law in 2014. Since then, we have made significant improvements to the property, including new driveways, sidewalks, asphalt, windows, doors, a new carport, and an individual private fenced-in patio area per apartment (Building 3 only). We continue to renovate and update our apartments with ceramic tile floors in the kitchen and bathroom.

Services and Amenities

We offer a range of services and amenities designed to enhance the living experience for our tenants. Our two-story buildings, constructed in 1967 and 1968, house four 2-bedroom apartments and two 1-bedroom apartments in each building. Building 3, built in 1983, consists of twelve 2-bedroom apartments. We provide coin-operated laundry rooms, with two washers and two dryers, for use by tenants in each building. Additionally, there are non-locking storage rooms in the basement of each building for use by all tenants. Lockable storage cages are also available in the basement of Building 1 and 2.

Location and Convenience

Our apartments are located in a quiet and peaceful residential area on the west side of Bad Axe. We are close to schools, hospitals, dining, shopping, and recreational facilities, making it an ideal location for those seeking convenience and accessibility. Our proximity to these essential services ensures that our tenants can easily meet their daily needs without having to travel far.
