Affordable and good living space with roommates

If you want to live by yourself, Woodbury's 1bed/1bath is expensive considering it's quite far from campus. You're better off looking somewhere closer to Ross. But if you're willing to have roommates and don't mind the bus ride, I highly recommend Woodbury, especially the 3 bed/2 bath townhouse.

3 bedroom townhouse is very affordable. My rent (smallest room) is less than 600, not including internet and utilities, so total per month comes around 650, which is still very cheap. There's a basement equipped with in-unit washer and dryer. Shuttle bus in the morning and evening is very convenient because somehow it works well with Ross class schedule. Gym has most equipment you need for a good workout. The neighborhood is quiet. Management responds promptly to maintenance requests and other questions.

Downside of the townhouse is that the units are quite old (the regular apartments are more updated). The floor can be loud when you walk around and often times I find bugs, small and large, around the house. But overall these are not deal breakers for us.

Pretty good spot

One of the better options for student families and pet owners. Safe neighborhood with sidewalks, two playgrounds, and a dog park. 7-10 min drive or 15-20 min bike ride to campus. Close to a nice grocery store and the Big House; easy access to public transportation. There is also a complimentary shuttle bus that runs to/from campus on weekdays. Management is very responsive and the clubhouse pool is nice in the summer; however, the fitness center is very small. Covered parking is an additional cost of $25 per month and the pet fee is $30 per month.

Affordable, spacious, and convenient living at Woodbury Gardens

Woodbury Gardens is a great place for couples and families. The units are very spacious and affordable, and the property management team is extremely responsive. The only downside is that Woodbury Gardens is a little farther from campus than most other housing complexes, but there is a city bus and Woodbury Gardens shuttle available at convenient times to easily commute to and from school. I highly recommend Woodbury Gardens!

Great but a little far

Everything works perfectly well. It’s a little far from Ross. There’s a shuttle to go to Ross which is great but many times you’ll leave Ross at night when there’s no shuttle and will need to take the regular bus. In winter it’s not great to wait for the bus and the frequency is not good at night or during weekends.

Love Woodbury

Woodbury has been great. They just redid our townhouse before we moved in so it was really nice. The shuttle to and from campus is clutch and everyone is really nice and friendly. It is great living in a community with so many Ross couples and families!

Needed the square footage

A little farther from campus, but shuttle helps the commute to Ross alot. A car is not necessary, but helpful if you decide to stay there. If need a basement, there are townhouses with plenty of basement space to avoid additional storage fees.

Woodbury is a great place to call home

I have lived at Woodbury Gardens for 3 years now, and I absolutely love it. The management has been very responsive, they offer a long list of amenities, and the apartments themselves are high quality. I also love that they offer a free shuttle driven by Larry, the friendliest guy you'll meet. He really makes the short commute up to the Ross School of Business fun!

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.
