"...25 miles surrounded by reality"

Fun for young and old, rated top place to retire by AARP. Great medical facilities with University of Michigan and St. Joe's Mercy Hospitals.

The U of M. with sports, art, business and engineering.

So much to do year round, excellent schools, dining, parks and cultural.

My favorite events, the Summer Festival, Top of the Park, The Ann Arbor Art Fairs and Michigan football.

missycaulk Depends if you are single, and want to live near downtown and campus. Or retired, or raising a family.

Almost everyone loves to be able to walk to downtown, so that would be the Old West Side, Burns Park, Geddes.

"Great for truckers!"

There is not a whole lot on this street, but what there is is pretty bustling! A few restaurants, including a country inn and a Popeye's Chicken. Lots of places to fill up on gas and meet all sorts of new people every day.

"Great Access to Downtown"

Ashley Street is just bustling with things to do. The Fleetwood Diner, the houses. The quick access to downtown Ann Arbor, and all the stores. It's right on the busline.

"Very nice neighborhood"

This was a quiet neighborhood, and the people were friendly. The buildings are more like the old style apartments. No one has their own washer/dryer, you have to pay to use it in the basement. But there is a small gym and a community pool. It has easy access to downtown Ann Arbor and is within ten minutes of two major hospitals and a shopping mall. Not bad at all.

"quiet and clean, but not very much fun"

It's a small street, only a few blocks. It goes in a sort of U shaped, which is interesting. Like the name of the strett, there are quite a few Magnolia trees. People tend to move in and out, but there are lots of kids. The kids are mostly quiet, and the rent is cheap.

The public bus comes every four hours and costs $3.00, but you can get tokens from the township. There is a nice german restaurant down the street.
