Really like it here

I really like the apartment that we are in. It is nice with hardwood floors. There is also a pool which is nice in the warmer months. These are condos so every landlord is different and every unit is slightly different. Noise isn't a problem. The complex is a mix between grad/medical students and older adults/retired people. I have had problems with Michigan Condominium Management. I have called when there have been problems on the weekend when they have people "on-call" and they are not helpful at all. They answered the phone calls and each time it seemed like it was a chore to answer the call.

Socially, if you have friends in the complex it is very convenient to walk over to their apartment, however it is an Uber away to any bars or social scene.

Great place for medical students

This is a great location for medical students because it's right across from the hospital and med school buildings. A lot of med students live here. The rooms are relatively small but the living spaces (dining room, living room) are pretty big. We have hardwood floors which are great but each condo is owned individually so that may not be the case in every apartment. It's a pretty quiet neighborhood filled with students and professionals (haven't seen many families with children here).

Quiet condo, good location

- 15-20 minute walk to the UM med school and hospital, also walking distance to many bus lines
- Across the street from the river with lots of wildlife around
- Generally quiet and always the right temperature (window A/C unit rarely needs to be used in the summer)
- The owner of our condo is fair and responsive, and maintenance people are friendly and helpful
- Big closets in both bedrooms and in the bathroom

Affordable and convenient for medical students

Well maintained condo and surrounding complex (except pool was closed for >50% of summer 2016 while remodeling was put on hold). 15 minute walk from door to Medical School lecture halls or 20 minutes to most areas in the hospital. In community of lots of medical students. Never any safety concerns or issues with neighbors.

Quiet, cozy condo

Each condo is individually owned, so the upkeep in each unit can be variable. The wood floors and porch in each unit are beautiful. The central pools is a great way to meet neighbors. I love the location by the park and near the hospital.

Great location and easy place to live when starting med school

This condo complex (Riverhouse Condos) was a great starter location when moving to Ann Arbor and starting medical school. It is only a ten minute walk to the medical school, and many of your classmates also live in that complex and the general white coat area. The condo is managed by a large realty practice in Ann Arbor, and are generally quite responsive when issues arise. There was a good amount of space for two medical students, though there are no storage closets or places to keep miscellaneous items. The neighbors in the building are lovely and were fun to get to know. The complex also has a pool. The price was a bit high for the surrounding area, but the inclusion of all utilities was a big perk given the summer heat and winter cold in Michigan. All in all, given the location, the price was worth it. There is lots of natural light and all windows have views of the park and river. The condo comes with one parking spot included (covered) and you can rent another parking spot for $600 per year. In sum, this is a great place to start out your medical school career and you can decide whether to stay or move elsewhere once you're more familiar with your classmates and the surrounding area.

Riverhouse Condos

We have really enjoyed living here because it is an ideal location--close to the hospital, kerrytown, and downtown. We overlook the Huron River and Island Drive Park which has excellent bike and running paths. This condo feels quiet and peaceful surrounded by nature even though it is in the heart of the city. We have excellent landlords and love our spacious condo! These units were built in the 1960s and vary in updates. We are fortunate to have a very updated unit.

Light and Open Condo with Porch

The condos here can vary quite a bit based on the owner and how many renovations have been done, but my place has a brand new kitchen and bathroom that are beautiful. It also has hardwood floors and a porch. The Huron River and Island Drive Park are out my front door, and a community pool is right out the back. I can also see the hospital from my porch! Its a little farther from Kerrytown, but it is still walkable in nice weather.

Close to hospital & medical school, and in the neighborhood with many classmates. Can be affordable with nice amenities in each condo depending on your owner. Pool open during the summer. Laundry on the grounds - pay via reloadable card. Well kept grounds.

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.
