Pretty good for location

Overall, my husband and I are happy we live here. So close to the hospital, about a 10 minute walk, and a very fast drive when I'm lazy and I have my husband drop me off. Every condo is different, but ours is more updated and has a washer and drier in the bathroom (others you have shared laundry that you have to pay for). We like living by the river and B2B trail, and get out for walks and bike rides often. Our landlords are responsive but have had some issues getting things fixed when they're broken (dishwasher and air conditioner). We wish we had a garage but it's okay for our state in life.

Great location, quality depends on owner

Riverhouse is great. My unit is pretty renovated, but I have noticed differences in unit quality depending on who owns the condo. Overall, I have had a great experience here!

Wonderful and quiet space to live in White Coat

My apartment has been great, and maintenance was reasonable with timeline for requests. The apartment is nice and renovated, but there is a lot of variability from condo to condo because each place is owned by a different landlord.

Great Value

Is it the nicest apartment to live in? No, but for what our rent is and for parking included, we can't beat it. The units in Riverhouse vary in condition, but usually are priced higher in the nicer places. We also very much appreciate that there is AC centralized. They are also owned by individual landlords, so your experience could depend on how responsive of a landlord you have. Our landlord is amazing and hires a great maintenance person. Our unit needed several repairs when we moved in, but they were fixed quickly over the course of several weeks.

Riverhouse Condos (White Coat)

Riverhouse Condos are very spacious apartments. There are in various states of renovation/updates as they are each individually owned. Price generally reflects the amount of renovation that has been done to the unit. Gas (including heat) is included which helps with the cost. Parking spaces are sometimes included, sometimes not. There have been issues with power outages, short-term water shut-offs for construction. There is very little natural light in most units.

Good place to live for the price

Each condo is owned by individual landlords, so your experience may vary. I had to put in a good bit of work to get the apartment cleaned up when I moved in. For the price, it's hard to beat. I will say that the walk is longer than expected just based on the fact that Riverhouse is quite large (certain units are a good bit closer to the medical school than others).

Living in Riverhouse

Living in Riverhouse is peaceful and a short walk to the medical campus. I am very close to the river, a great spot to stroll around if you need a break from studying.

There is only one covered parking spot per apartment.

The walls are pretty thin.

No food nearby, and one would need a car to get groceries.

Excellent condos, if updated unit

I live in an updated Riverhouse condo and absolutely love it. It has great space and a good kitchen layout (most of the updates went into kitchen). Bedrooms are sizeable with good closets. My one and only complaint is no in-house laundry services. Some of the other updated units include washer/dryer, but not ours. Its a short walk outside to the laundry room and costs $1.25 each for wash/dry. Overall pretty minor complaint for what we are getting for the money.

Riverhouse

Good value for the price & one of the more affordable options with roommates. Units are very landlord-dependent so would recommend trying to see it in person if possible. Lots of space and storage but not a lot of natural light. Really quiet and close to parks + easy to drive out of Ann Arbor.

North Campus Reviews

North Campus is the place to be!! Lots of trails and nature for walking, NCRB gym nearby, grocery stores, gas, food, and more. Mostly graduate students up here so quieter but also within 10 min drive to downtown. There's always parking too.
I have lived in A2 for going on 14 years, it is sort of like having a friend, even when you are alone.

Me and a friend and her dog visit neighborhood parks.

That dog met the caged bald eagle at Leslie Science Center.. and twang!
To the end of his leash! The eagle looked at him like he was the most delicious thing he's seen all Winter. We just trudged thru the snow to view the cages, (both eagle and dog are ok)
Great quieter area very close to the hospital, and close to many other med students. It’s a more peaceful area that’s a tad farther from downtown, but for someone who likes a quieter space to study or nice spaces to walk and hang out with friends, white coat area is right by the river and Island Drive Park, and there are often med student social events held at White Coat Area because so many medical students choose to live here.
I personally really like North Campus, although it is farther away from downtown and the law school. There are several restaurants right near my apartment complex and the commute to school is very easy. I also find the lack of nightlife a plus, because it means the neighborhood is a lot quieter and safer than other areas of Ann Arbor.
Overall this area is great for walking to the medical school and hospital, living near other medical students, and especially having easier parking than in the central downtown/kerrytown areas. You also escape the rowdiness of undergrads by living here. The main reason I gave it a "7/very good" rating was because I don't like feeling isolated in location from central campus. Walking from White Coat to restaurants/bars downtown is at least 20-25 minutes, and often I decide not to go just because I don't want to walk there and back. After 6PM everyday parking is free downtown (free all day on Sunday), which is nice, except you don't always want to drive if you are going out to bars. It would be nice to have some type of casual coffee shop or restaurant in walkable distance to White Coat, but there is not. (edit: there is one breakfast-like cafe near White Coat, but it gets busy and is over-priced). There are some restaurants and coffee shops down the street on Plymouth road (not downtown) which is an easy 5 minute drive.
Multiple apartment/condo complexes within 10 minute walk of one another creating central location for many medical students of the University of Michigan. Park is 5 minute walk away. Lecture halls are 15 minutes door to hall. Hospital is 15-20 minutes from door to specific area of hospital. Never any safety issues. Parking can be strict and limited. Few stores and restaurants nearby.
This neighborhood is a 10 minute walk to the hospital which makes is very popular for medical students, residents, and even attendings. It is quiet, but it can be very busy in the morning and around 4pm when everyone is arriving/leaving their shifts. Grocery stores, cafes, and restaurants are a 5 min drive away near north campus.
Pros: beautiful - near the Huron River (5 min walk!) and trails and lots of trees. Very quiet. Residential area - maybe only 20% students vs. long-term residents where I am, though I'm close to the hospitals and med students, architects, and engineers all live up here. Very safe, and I see deer or even a raccoon once in a while. Grocery store is 1 mile away (Kroeger).

Cons: less social than I like in terms of proximity to Rossers. There is only one on my street that I know of.
