It is great here

Quiet and easy access to Ross. Also, close to Lucky's which is the best business in Michigan.

Relatively Cheap

Good for families, great transport access to Ross, relatively cheap
Management is friendly, very pet-friendly (we have a dog).
Gym is in the clubhouse, mostly cardio.
Far from bars/restaurants, so don't pick it if you want that kind of social life.

Great for families

Woodbury is full of graduate students and families. It's a quiet space with most amenities you could want within walking distance - grocery, gas, pharmacy, restaurants, urgent care, dental, etc. When we aren't using the buses, Uber tends to cost between 5-10 dollars each way to downtown Ann Arbor.

They should rename this place Ross Gardens

These apartments and townhomes are approximately 1 mile away from the Ross campus.

Pros: I enjoy the daily shuttle that is provided that takes students directly to Ross and other areas on campus. I also like that the clubhouse is open late which is great for studying. They offer breakfast on weekday mornings. They also have had a 30 day money back guarantee - (pro-tip: get all of your issues with your place fixed then)! Additional bonus: if you’re coming to Ann Arbor with a lot of belongings, the townhomes have extremely large basement for storage. And storage is quite expensive in A2. There is free parking on the streets so no need to pay extra for the carport. Close to Lucky’s Market (organic grocery store). Dog friendly - they just created a small dog park where a lot of people bring their dogs to play. I’d recommend extending your lease if you’re thinking about staying the next year (saves money).

Things to be desired: The townhomes and apartments are on the older side, but there are upgraded units for an extra fee. I’m not in an upgraded unit so my townhome is on the older side. No ceiling lights in living room or bedrooms. Two bedroom townhomes only have one full bath and 2 half baths. Downsides to parking along the street - our parkedcar was hit on the street (first snow). walls are a bit thin, but our neighbors are quiet.

Very Residential

Woodbury is a large residential facility with spacious apartments, plenty of green areas and covered parking space. Property management is very responsive to anything you need. There is a shuttle that takes you to Ross, and a very well equipped clubhouse with meeting rooms, gym, pool, etc.

Great place for couples

I have been living at Woodbury for 2 years with my girlfriend. We absolutely love our apartment and the amenities at the clubhouse. We even had a garden plot at the community garden that is onsite. The shuttle that runs between the property and campus also makes the commute very convenient. The driver, Larry, is also the most friendly guy you'll ever meet!

Great Place

This is conveniently located and peaceful. I feel very safe, and I know if I had an issue, management would resolve it. I love that I can walk to the grocery store and have two free options to get to school ( bus or the Woodbury Shuttle). The drawback is that management is unnecessarily strict with shared spaces, so don't expect to be able to reserve the club house or eat in a conference room.

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.
