The first residents moved into the latest offering from Urbane Apartments � Urbane on Farnum.

Construction recently finished on the 16-unit building in Royal Oak. The 1960s-era apartment building is located on the corner of Farnum and Washington streets. It is across the street from Royal Oak's old Dondero High School and a few blocks north of downtown.

The building had fallen into disrepair before Urbane invested $400,000 into restoration. Now it features a mix of large studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments. They include a number of modern amenities, such as brand new bamboo floors, recycled carpet, efficient water fixtures, granite bar tops, black appliances, glass French doors, dual shower heads and high-speed wireless Internet.

Urbane owns 15 apartment buildings in southeast Oakland County. These buildings are near vibrant downtowns, such as Royal Oak, Ferndale, Clawson, Berkely and Birmingham.
