Why Ann Arbor?

Ann Arbor's market is driven by the University of Michigan. Faculty, physicians, researchers, and staff need housing year-round, which keeps demand consistent across market cycles. It's one of the more stable markets in Michigan for that reason.

The neighborhoods vary significantly by price and character. Old West Side bungalows run $350K–$700K. Burns Park and the areas east of Main Street feature tree-lined streets, walkability to campus, and strong elementary schools. Ann Arbor Hills and Barton Hills are where you'll find larger wooded properties, often approaching or exceeding $1M.

For sellers, well-priced and well-presented homes move quickly. Multiple offers are common in the sub-$600K range, especially on updated homes in desirable school zones. I can give you a specific read on where your home sits in the current market before you list.

Ann Arbor Public Schools

AAPS serves 18,500 students across 33 schools, including three high schools: Pioneer, Huron, and Skyline. The district consistently scores above state averages and is one of the primary reasons families choose Ann Arbor over surrounding communities.

School assignment is address-based. Burns Park, Angell, and Lawton are among the most sought-after elementaries, and homes in those attendance zones tend to carry a price premium. I can confirm the school zone for any specific address you're looking at.

Location

East Ann Arbor

Ann Arbor Hills sits on a ridge east of the Huron River with mature trees, larger lots, and a mix of mid-century and contemporary homes. It's one of the more established neighborhoods in the city at the upper end of the price range. If you're looking at this area, I can walk you through recent comparable sales and what's currently available.

Community Highlights

What keeps buyers coming back to Ann Arbor

University of Michigan

With 47,000 students and 45,000 employees, U-M is the dominant employer in Washtenaw County and the primary driver of year-round housing demand in Ann Arbor.

Ann Arbor Art Fair

Four simultaneous fairs each July drawing over 500,000 visitors—one of the largest art fairs in the country. It has been a fixture of the city since 1960.

Gallup Park

69 acres of trails, canoe livery, and waterfront park on the Huron River, connected to a 17-mile non-motorized path system running through the city.

The Ark

Ann Arbor's live music venue, operating since 1965. An intimate, well-regarded room that books national touring acts alongside local artists.

Employment & Economy

The University of Michigan and Michigan Medicine together employ over 45,000 people—the largest employer base in Washtenaw County. Beyond the university, Ann Arbor has a significant tech and automotive research presence: Google, Toyota Technical Center, and a number of U-M spinoffs and startups operate here.

For investors, the graduate student and postdoc population creates consistent rental demand close to campus. For buyers, the employment diversity means a wider range of buyer profiles when it's time to sell.
