I think it's at the tail-end of walking distance to Ross. I think the management team here is fine, but the maintenance team is a little behind. I live in a great unit and I don't think anyone from Ross who lives here complains. It is on the expensive end, but I didn't have many options because I was admitted to school late. Most walls are thick and you don't hear neighbors, except my unit has a very thin wall next to my neighbor's bedroom (but I am a corner unit, so your mileage may vary).

Lots of MBAs live here! It’s pricey but unfortunately pretty much market rate for downtown Ann Arbor. It’s great to be able to walk to Ross, downtown, and the stadium very easily. Super quiet and management is very responsive. I wish the hot tub was actually hot- but they are too cheap to heat it above lukewarm.

Also literally nothing is included in rent. Parking is $200/mo, water is $30, electricity is self paid (usually about $100), storage locker is $25, dogs are $35, even the package locker is $5/month.

New management is not great but the apartment location and community otherwise is great

Lots of MBAs live in the building, which allows you to be social when you want to be. The location is perfect between Ross, downtown, and the stadium. The walls are very thick so you can't hear neighbors. The in unit washers are very convenient but a little old. They are in the process of replacing them.

Location is amazing and it's a great apartment

The apartment is in a great location and each apartment has a balcony and pretty big windows, which is a pretty big plus. Layout within each apartment is great, considering the size. Downside is that rent goes up without much room to negotiate: my rent went up 10.6% this year and when I tried to negotiate, I was told that 10% was the standard increase for them and they weren't willing to budge.

As of September of this year, the management company changed because the old company was delinquent on bills and was not actually managing any services at the building. The new team appears to be competent, though they have a long backlog of issues that's taking some time to work through. Rooms are high quality, but the overall package of services isn't quite as nice compared to buildings with comparable rent in Chicago. The package organization system is a mess, the communal grills leave a little consistency to be desired, and the process of moving in/out is a nightmare. However, just about everything else has been in line with what I'd expect for this price--functioning utilities, excellent soundproofing between units, good common areas, and quick maintenance (post operating transition).

I picked it because its a cheap 1 bed. The location is good for Ross. There's a good bit of space. Natural light is bad in my particular unit. Washer/dryer sets me back $3+ per load.
Doing this again I'd invest the extra 300-400 a month to relieve stress on furnishing, wifi, get a slightly nicer place.

Great location, bad management
