The Yard

I like the building but the management company isn't great

This property has nice amenities and a lot of students live there which is good for meeting people when it's cold outside. However, there are also a lot of undergraduate students which I did not expect. Overall, it can be loud. When the weather is warm, don't expect to be able to study at home or to get much sleep without earplugs. The walls are thin and the noise from the courtyard can be too much.

The shuttle is nice but it also assumes you will not be at school late - you will.

It's a good place to live but is very expensive.

The Yard is convenient and has everything you need for your time at University of Michigan. It's walking distance, has a nice gym, a pool (when it's not freezing), common areas, study areas and furniture included.

It is good,

Downs, the train passes by, expensive, too much parties in some apts

Good gym. Pool during warmer months. Management cares about building and they keep it clean.

The apartment is lovely - it has a great common space where a lot of events are held - perfect for a last minute gathering spot for an organization. The courtyard is also nice.

In terms of the negatives, there are no rules on when the courtyard can be used and systems installed when the building was built (like the electronic door man) still aren't live.

Close to school, great amenities and community

It has quite good facilities with a swimming pool, study room, and gym. Many Rossers live here, so you will find it easier to make friends and hang out with them.
However, it's little expensive considering the location and size of the house. Also, walls are pretty thin so sometimes it's hard to relax even at your room. Lastly, make sure to get a unit far away from the train rail. There are trains running at a random time (sometimes at 1-6am) with a loud noise. I'm an easy sleeper but never got used to it.

New building that started off with some bumps but is now fine and responsive. Rent is pretty high but it is what it is given that Ann Arbor is so expensive anyway
