Wonderful Woodbury

I have lived in Woodbury for two years, and it is a gem. The community center is great, pool and gym! Even Peloton bikes :) Free parking all over, and covered spots available as well. We have so much space in our unit, it is a townhouse standalone, laundry in unit with a huge basement as well. Woodbury is pet friendly and has a dog park! (Sadly don't have my own but I play with all the neighborhood pets which is so fun). It is a little farther from Ross than other options, but it has a shuttle that runs straight to Ross multiple times a day, as well as easy access to the public bus. (Also very walkable, about 25 minutes). also...LARGE closets!!

Overpriced

overpriced. The place is falling apart and the maintenance ghetto rigs any “fixes”.

Woodbury

Ideal for law students. The complex is mostly grad students, young professionals, families with young kids, and retirees so things are typically quiet.

The appartment has few problems (ie no mold, nothing has fallen appart) apart from occasional plumbing problems. Management is disorganized and can be slow to react to issues but is light years ahead of any other lamdlord I've had. Walls are quite thin.

Shuttle, gym, grill, pool and breakfast/free drinks are all nice, but shouldn't really inform your decision. The 6 bus picks up right on south industrial and will take you to school gaster than the shuttle usually but having both does add flexibility. Having luckys right around the corner comes in handy often for quick meals or picking up something you forgot groccery shopping.

Safe and Warm

I like Woodbury Gardens, many grad students who have families and pets live here. Also non students and other professionals live in the area. The only thing I don't like is how far away it is from school.

Woodbury Gardens

My partner and I really enjoy living at Woodbury. We have a cozy one bedroom apartment with a dishwasher, washing machine and dryer in the apartment which is incredibly convenient (though not all units have washing machines). We also take advantage of the community gym (it has Peloton bikes!), pool, study spaces and printers. It is a quiet community with lots of young adults and families. We are close to a grocery store, CVS, great coffee shop and fun bowling alley, and we are on a bus line that stops at the law school.

Solid apartments, good value

Woodbury is a solid option for people with roommates or families. Good complex, decent buildings, pet friendly, generally friendly staff. It's a bit far away so it can be tough to go places if you don't have a car, but it's close to bus lines and to Lucky's supermarket. Downside is that all units are either apartments or townhomes, so the walls are relatively thin and water pressure can be iffy (since plumbing is shared by all the residents).

Okay place to live - very convenient

Woodbury gardens is a fine property and very responsive to any issues you may have. The commute to school is the best part about it however. For someone who doesn't want to be on campus with all the undergrad's or for someone like me who has a spouse, this is a great option.

Great apartment and flexible lease!

Really safe and secure environment. I lived here as a student, and now as a young professional, and love how easy it is to get to campus and downtown. The management is really responsive and the leases can be flexible. I really enjoy living here, and the community is very pet friendly.

Good change of pace compared to Ross

The apartment is clean and spacious. Staff is accommodating and responsive. Even though it locates a little further from Ross, the public bus and the apartment shuttle alleviate the problem. The environment is calm quiet for those that seek an 'escape' from the hustle bustle one of Ross.

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.
