First 2 months at Woodburry Gardens

The community is ideal for people in couple or student parents with young families. The application process is unfair as you are required to pay down $1000 non-refundable to hold a spot for you.

Good value, nice environment

It is cheaper than down town apartments. You also get more space. The only thing to consider is the commute. Different from living in down town, you need to use shuttle, bus and Uber to commute. But I get used to the commute.

Woodbury is best bang for your buck by far

I have three times the space for the same price, or less, than friends living at 618 or the Yard. I pay very little for covered parking ($25/mo) and Woodbury has great amenities (free shuttle to Ross, free breakfast during the week, pool, gym with Peletons, etc. Getting to campus requires some coordination and planning between taking the Woodbury shuttles, two public bus routes running nearby, and driving, but it is a minor hassle for the incredible value that Woodbury provides.

Great space, close enough to campus

Management is pretty good and a lot of upgrades units are becoming available. Great for couples, families, pet owners, etc. 3 minute walk from great grocery store. Shuttle from the leasing office runs to Ross and back many times per day at convenient times for class.

Great for Students

Overall, this is an above average apartment complex. Management is diligent, responsive, and caring. I have had good experiences working with them so far. The apartment amenities are really good for Ross students. There is breakfast every weekday morning; there is coffee available at all times; there is a shuttle bus to and from campus; there is a reasonably nice, small gym; there are study rooms and computers in the admin building. Also, there is a nice grocery store nearby, and it is within walking distance (about 30 min) of Ross, the Big House, and downtown. This is a good place to live for 2 years while going to school.

Ample space, great community

I have lived at Woodbury for 4 months and it has been a great experience. The apartment is big enough to have people come over. You actually feel that you have a home and not just a bedroom. One of the big upsides is that a lot of people live there so you will meet different people during breakfast, while taking the shuttle/bus to Ross, or even at the gym.

I can only find two "downsides": one is that it is "far" from Ross/downtown, and by far I mean a 7 minute ride/30 minute walk. This is usually not a problem but waiting for the bus takes time (which is scarce at the MBA) and it getting an Uber every time can add up to a lot ($7-8). This downside is usually compensated by the fact that several people live there so you can share the Uber. The other downside would be that there are some apartments located on the bottom floor so the lightning situation becomes tricky: if you open the shades people from outside can see you but if you don't open them then lightning isn't great. I honestly believe the upsides outweigh the downsides by a lot, but it varies from person to person. In any case, if distance is not an issue I would recommend visiting because one visit can change your mind: the place is beautiful.

Great to live in community!

Great for those who wants to meet other people. You can easily build a community of friends. Convenient ammenities such as a couple of playgrounds for kids, clubhouse with business center, gym and game room. Nice pool during the summer! Beneficial location: close to central campus but far away from the noise of downtown. During the school year they provide a shuttle that runs several times a day from the clubhouse to central campus.

Getting around Yost


Yost Reviews

Woodbury Gardens is its own community - so we don't get a lot of surrounding neighborhood effect and it's quieter.

I haven't had to go to school in person yet (due to the pandemic) - but once things are back in person, I would use the community shuttle to get to campus and possibly back depending on the time of day I head back. Otherwise, I would take the bus or walk. Walking takes about 30 min but the bus will cut down most of that since there is a city stop right at the entrance to Woodbury.
This neighborhood is "undergrad territory": lots of loud parties on the weekends. BUT it'll be this loud this close to campus, no matter what neighborhood, due to proximity to the big house
Safe, albeit there have been bicycle theft issues. It is quiet here in the community. Walking distance to UM Stadium, not far from Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Plum Market, etc...
Lots of green space if you have a dog or children. Close to the stadium, about 5-10 minute drive to Ross and downtown.
Not a lot around, but there is nice space to walk, public parks, and it is fairly quiet
Quiet, good for families, far enough to not deal with UM student traffic.
This is primarily an undergrad neighborhood. There are no bars nearby, just Dominos, Subway, and other small fast food places. It is also loud and noisy especially during games. It's very close to the IM gym and law school though, which is great.
Overall, a nice and quiet neighborhood that feels secure and is slightly removed from campus, so you're away from the hustle and bustle of the University. Definitely a grad student neighborhood. Close to public transit lines, and there is a nice grocery store near the apartment complex. Running trails are nearby, and road access to I-94 is pretty quick as well. Within an extended walk of campus, the Big House, and Ross. Really enjoy living here.
