Yost

Residential Area with Plenty of Reasons to Get Outdoors
This neighborhood gets its name from the university’s former football coach, Fielding H. Yost, who carried the Wolverines to their first national championship in 1901. Yost is home to many students and they enjoy a no-cost Wolverine Tower Shuttle, which transports Yost Neighborhood residents to and from campus. In terms of social activity, there are certainly no shortage of bars and dining options in the neighborhood - including the always popular Fraser’s Pub and frequently visited Lucky's Market. There is also the famous artisan meat, cheese, and sandwich hub known as Biercamp.

In addition to socializing, there are plenty reasons to get outdoors here. Located nearby is the University of Michigan Golf Course and also Burns Park, which has tennis courts, basketball courts, and even a sledding hill for those snow-filled winter days.

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.

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.

I like the convenience of getting to Ross in six minutes for class, group meetings, or coffee chats. It’s great to be able to come home and grab a quick bite before changing into a suit and walking back over. Easy walk to hockey games, and about 15 minutes to Bus/Big House. Well situated to make it to social gatherings at Skeeps, Rick’s, Munger, or any other place.

Woodbury is on the other side of Stadium Ave from Burns Park, but it's convenient access. The complex itself is pretty friendly; lots of law students around though it takes a bit of effort to get to know neighbors since everyone is on their own schedules and it's a generally older crowd.

Very close to law school, which is great. Reasonably easy access to stores on state street and only 20 minute walk from Kerrytown. The new target on State Street makes groceries possible to access without taking a bus to Meijer, and there’s a bus stop right by my apartment, which is great. But Yost is undergrad heavy, so there are often loud parties on weekend nights.

An underrated fact about Woodbury is its proximity to Lucky's Market and a CVS on the corner. I have a car, and appreciate the relative closeness to other areas of Ann Arbor to be able to run a quick errand. If you want a quieter neighborhood and don't need to be in the center of the social life at Ross, this is the place for you.

The neighborhood is great - definitely more quiet than living closer to campus, but still very easy to get around. It's about a 25 minute walk to Michigan Central Campus, but only about a 5 minute drive. Ubers and Lyfts are easy to come by, otherwise the Woodbury Shuttle and The Ride bus are pretty convenient and reliable during the week.

We signed our lease in February before starting at Ross in August.

It’s possible that my opinion is informed by living here in the pandemic. My apartment building is surrounded by frats and other homes where many undergrads are congregating dangerously. The weekends can be very loud and the music starts at randomly early times (2-3 pm) on random days of the week. It’s not that close to the downtown restaurants so it’s a longer walk, a bike or car ride away. The plus is that delivery is really effective here.
