StreetAdvisor: Reviews for Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States

Verdant neighborhood, close to Gallup Park and the Huron River, and walking distance from downtown Ann Arbor

07/08/2008 05:07:16 -07:00

Wooded area, close to Gallup Park and the Huron River, also walking distance from the University of Michigan and downtown Ann Arbor. Very much a residential area, but with good access to transportation and retail. Surprisingly rural for an area so close to downtown.

1960s feel good

Near Huron High School, most of the families live in houses ranging from cozy brick-trimmed frame ranches, 1960s-era colonials and tri-levels. Quiet neighborhood, mostly families and retired persons.

College Student Cozy

Home to several campus apartment complexes, this neighborhood has easy access to the university hospital, the downtown campus and the north side of town. Most high school students will attend Huron. A stone's throw away from the Huron River.

a stone's throw from everywhere

This is a well-manicured mixture of subdivisions, condominiums, townhouses, and apartment complexes. Home to business professionals and low income families alike. Near busy shopping areas and Dominoes Farm. The latter is especially nice at Christmas time.

a bit of country in the city

25/04/2008 18:47:17 -07:00

Some horse farms, complete with white wooden fences. A few older country homes with vegetable gardens and big yards with lots of trees, and sometimes even a tractor or dilapidated barn. There are fields of wildflowers along the road and open expanses of farmland. Very near a large movie theatre!

like a fall

25/04/2008 18:45:33 -07:00

Home to Heritage Falls, which offers custom-built ranch-style duplex condominiums, and the Hawthorne Ridge subdivision. Within a walking distance of a golf club.

No blues here!

25/04/2008 18:43:45 -07:00

This street just south of the main U-M campus, it is filled with older houses occupied by longtime residents mingle with large fraternity, sorority, and cooperative houses and student apartment buildings. This is a great place for students to live, it's within walking distance of downtown and the ma...

Interesting and Convenient

25/04/2008 18:41:56 -07:00

Southwest of the Jackson-Wagner, this street is the site of three cohousing developments—Sunward, Great Oaks, and Touchston. This is where individually owned, condolike units cluster around a common house with shared service and social areas.

New and Booming

25/04/2008 18:40:35 -07:00

Home to quite a few new condos and apartment complexes, this street is in prime position for easy access to downtown Ann Arbor, Chelsea, Dexter and I94. Great shopping is just a stone throw away.

perfect and established

25/04/2008 18:38:14 -07:00

Skydale streets in the Huron Highlands area is home to families, retirees, and singles. Many low-income housing solutions are in this part of town. Easy access to shopping and food.

Nice and upcoming

25/04/2008 18:35:26 -07:00

This hilly area is now in constant demand. Many older houses long used as rentals are for sale. They share the neighborhood with some of the city’s oldest surviving houses, such as the Beckley House. Once a stop on the Underground Railroad, it's full of rich history.

Nice for walking

25/04/2008 18:33:13 -07:00

Literally a two minute walk from the University hospital, this is a great place to live if you work in the medical field. Rent is cheaper if you work at the hospital, and it's easy access to Northside and downtown shopping areas.

Neighborhood Going Down

25/04/2008 18:31:26 -07:00

This street used to be great, used to be bustling and busy. It really has no excuse not to continue to be. It's easy access to both the Northside of town and downtown. It's within walking distance of the university and the hospital. It's almost in the perfect place. And yet. Not so much.

Easy Downtown Access

25/04/2008 18:28:58 -07:00

Westgate Shopping Center, the Quality 16 movie complex, Liberty Athletic Club, and many stores are a short hop away. Unspoiled apartment complex, easy access to downtown Ann Arbor. Bustling school district.

Quiet and pleasant.

25/04/2008 18:26:49 -07:00

This is one of the largest elementary school areas in the city. Several apartment complexes, a few senior centers. Lots, lots of houses. Shopping is within walking or biking distance. The Plymouth Road Mall and Traver Village offer residents nearby grocery stores, restaurants, a coffee shop, a toy s...

Cozy family homes

25/04/2008 18:22:49 -07:00

Small starter homes line the streets. The many children in the area enjoy a neighborhood pool and swim club. The area is surrounded by commercial strips lined with superstores, party stores, and fast-food chains.

60s type ambience

25/04/2008 18:21:04 -07:00

Shady and lovely 1960s-era neighborhood. Lots of kids, and the school district is in Pittsfield township. Easy access to all sorts of stores, including Arborland Mall and Stadium Cards and Comics. Near St Joseph Hospital AND Washtenaw Community College.

Great for truckers!

25/04/2008 18:11:49 -07:00

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 for students, great for out of towners!

24/04/2008 21:57:52 -07:00

Located on the south edge of the U of M campus, this street is almost like a thriving community on it's own with an array of businesses, activities, and annual events. The hub of the Ann Arbor Art Fair. Home of Pinball Pete's and Bubble Island.

From bad to good and back again

24/04/2008 21:55:06 -07:00

Depending on what part of the street you start on, you can literally see the good and the bad of the city all on one block. The west end has the nice and fancy shops, the gourmet stores and the fancy restaurants. The east side of the street, in what used to be the red light district, has a bad end m...

Overcrowded - ouch!

24/04/2008 21:51:36 -07:00

75% shopping mall, 15% medical center, 10% apartments. It's kind of crowded, and not in the good way. Not a lot of parking for the shopping center. It's probably located way too close to a high school for comfort, and on a really hot day it kind of smells like diapers.

However, the shopping is g...

Great Shopping, Very Trendy

24/04/2008 21:48:51 -07:00

South State Street is very trendy, yet also very retro. Retro in the good way. There's an old penny theatre, the top half is still a theatre and the bottom half is now an Urban Outfitters. The Silent Theatre is in great condition. Easy access to the University of Michigan via the Diag. It's very bus...

Great Access to Downtown

20/04/2008 19:10:46 -07:00

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.

Great for newly weds and small families

20/04/2008 09:38:05 -07:00

I enjoy our street. It is peaceful, people are quiet, polite and friendly. It's a great location for all the hospital staff and many of its residents live here.

hmm. I disagree

08/04/2008 20:20:58 -07:00

I wouldn't call it that nice. It was hard to drive down the street, traffic was weird.

Very nice neighborhood

08/04/2008 20:19:08 -07:00

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 m...

quiet and clean, but not very much fun

07/04/2008 22:03:54 -07:00

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...

Quite place..

29/03/2007 12:04:44 -07:00

Might be to quite for people with kids. Every house is back a lot from the street. With new high school coming in this might change.
