Ann Arbor Real Estate Talk

Where should I live if I want to walk to University of Michigan?

Simple question?

Not so much.

Where are your classes?

What part of campus are you going to be on the most?

University of Michigan is divided into four different area’s.

• North Campus
• Central Campus
• Medical Campus
• South Campus.

Are you in University of Michigan Medical School?

If you are a student in the College of Engineering, Theatre and Dance, College of Architecture and Urban Planning or the School of Music they are located on the North Campus area.

Central Campus is the location of the College of Literature, Science and the Arts, and is immediately adjacent to the medical campus. Most of the graduate and professional schools, including the Ross School of Business the Law School and the School of Dentistry, are on Central Campus. Two prominent libraries, the Harlan Hatcher Graduate Library and the Shapiro Undergraduate Library which are connected by a skywalk, are also on Central Campus, as well as museums housing collections in archaeology, anthropology, paleontology, zoology, dentistry, and art.

The Medical Campus is located between Fuller Road, Observatory and Geddes.

South Campus is home for the Athletic Departments, the BIG House, Yost Arena, Chrisler Auditiorium.

When we are asked this question on where to live to walk to classes at University of Michigan it is important to ask where you will be attending classes.

All the campuses are easily accessable by bus services and shuttle services.

There are apartments to rent surrounding the four different area’s. There are condo’s to rent or purchase as well as single family homes.

Ann Arbor was ranked Number 1 in college sports towns by Forbes Magazine in 2010. This was the second year in a row that Ann Arbor has placed number one.

Here is a slide show that shows the other top 10 college sports towns.This is great news and for those of us who live here, we know it to be true.

Housing Data

According to Forbes the average price for a 4 bedroom, 2200 square foot home was $148,000. This is not true. Perhaps they averaged out all the area’s and came up with that stat. But, the average list price varies by different area’s.

Ann Arbor is ranked in the top 15 cities for commuters to live in.

In a new report published this week by US News and World Report and featured on Yahoo Real Estate, it was said:

Ann Arbor, Mich.
 Average commute time: 18.4 minutes
.

Non-car commuters: 27.5 percent

Since it is one of the best-known college towns in America, it shouldn’t be surprising that Ann Arbor is not car-heavy. Many of the city’s major employers, such as the academic journal service JSTOR, the weather service Weather Underground, and the headquarters for Google’s AdWords service are based downtown. That centralized location and Ann Arbor’s compact nature make commuting easy for walkers, bikers, and bus riders.
