Mill Creek is a solid place to live. I am a 3 minute walk from a bus stop that gets me to campus in ~15 minutes. There is a huge park and nature area about 5 minutes down the road that I use to run, play frisbee golf, and hike through the woods.

Pros: Clean, decent maintenance, tons of green space, close to bus, pet friendly, inexpensive for AA, town house style, nice pool in summer

Cons: Older complex (circa 1970's) but you can get updated units, no gym, further from the MBA bubble (there are probably only 1-2 MBA families that live here each year vs. some complexes closer to campus with 100+ students each.

Pros:
1) Fairly spacious (includes unfinished basement).
2) Price is much lower than comparable options closer to campus.
3) Bus stop is right in front of property and bus is only ~15 minutes to Ross
4) Property is clean and functional
5) Quiet neighborhood

Cons:
1) Property management could be more responsive.
2) Unit is a bit dated, but clean and functional.
3) No covered parking (but plenty of spots of 2 vehicles)

Great place for family on a budget, next to Mary Beth Doyle Park (80 Acres). Apartments are a little run down though and maintenance is not as responsive as it should be.

Townhomes are located next to beautiful 80 acre park great for young families and pet owners. Public transit to Ross is convenient and timely during the week. Quiet at night but pool and outdoor community area for use during the summer and fall. Each townhome has a basement for storage. Older construction.

Our apartment is a 2-bedroom, 1-bath, 2 floor townhouse with a basement, washer, and dryer. It comes with 1 assigned parking spot, but parking is available for a second car and guests. The community has a great pool and there's a park that's right next to the community -- great for dog walking. Very pet friendly. Only downside is that we're about 3-ish miles/10 min drive from Ross, so it takes effort to get to class and events. There's a bus stop right outside the entrance to the community that runs on the route up Packard.
