West of State

Residential Area and Removed from the College Scene
The West of State is an ideal neighborhood for shoppers, students, and families. It’s a quiet neighborhood yet close to the bustling downtown area so it's suitable if one is looking for entertainment or a night out. For dining, there are many choices catering to people who love a variety of food - like Westside Barbecue, Pacific Rim by Kana, Miki Japanese Restaurant, Madras Masala, and Conor O’Neill’s, an Irish pub with live music and fun events. For people looking for a restful break, there is the always quaint Wurster Park.

Renters should know this area is generally viewed as a relaxed neighborhood with its tree-lined streets and single family homes.

West of State — 8.5/10 Rating (based on 168 neighborhood reviews)
Such a cute neighborhood! It's right by the stadium and walking distance to great parks like Wurster and Allmendinger, as well as around the corner from Elbel if you like playing sports. Just a short walk away you'll be surrounded by cute houses where families live and Jefferson Market if you're looking for a great weekend brunch spot.

I love the Old West Side because it's a quieter neighborhood with parks, trees, single family homes, and neighborhood traditions like the Old West Side Home Tour and the Westside Art Hop. If you're trying to escape from undergrads, I'd highly recommend looking into the Old West Side.

I live at the edge of Old West Side (618 South Main), which is less than a 10 minute walk to the law school (a straight shot up Madison Ave). Although Old West Side doesn't have a lot of restaurants or bars, it's only a 7 minute walk to all of the downtown restaurants and bars. Old West Side is home to some of my favorite places: Washtenaw Dairy, Jefferson Market, and Argus Farm Stop. There's also plans to put in a new brewery on First Street.

You can't beat this location in terms of walking distance to campus, even if the building itself is bad. Very close to the law school. However, it is extremely close to the Big House (football stadium) and therefore gets very loud on football Saturdays. The marching band practices close by, so it can get very loud daily.

It's at the heart of the football tailgate area, which is either great if you want to tailgate or terrible if you want to study. Food options could be much better but there are a few decent choices along the walk from Ross to here when you pass State St. Walking to Ross takes 12 minutes at a normal pace.

The Yard's specific location isn't bad. It's a 20 minute (or less) walk from downtown, Ross, The Big House, and the IM. It shares problems with most of the neighborhoods close to campus though in that there is no walk-able access to grocery stores or really stores of any kind, and also very little convenient parking. The Yard has indoor spots for $200 per month, so I would factor that in and plan on using your car if you like to cook your own meals and meal prep.

The biggest draw of this neighborhood is the people! More students live in this area than probably any other, which means there are always people to hang out with.

Not a lot of good restaurant/bar options in the immediate area...much more residential. But its only a 10 min walk to downtown.

There are a lot of other Rossers who live nearby, and we're right by the Bus and the stadium which is great for tailgating.

Lots of students. A bit further from restaurants and grocery stores. Wish I had a car and would really like my situation.

The neighborhood is close to the stadium which is great on game days. It's about a 10-15 minute walk from Ross.
