Elbel Home for Sale

Ann Arbor's Elbel neighborhood is closely tied to the University of Michigan, with a significant student-athlete population. The neighborhood is known for its vibrant atmosphere on game days, as it's near the university's sports facilities, including the Big House, Crisler Center and Yost Ice Arena. The area has seen a rise in modern apartment buildings to accommodate the growing student population, including the construction of a new 2,300-bed residence hall on the former Elbel Field site. There are some single-family Victorian-style homes from the early 1900s, though they are rarely on the market and usually rented as duplexes. Elbel is part of the Ann Arbor Public Schools district, with students attending highly rated Bach Elementary School, Slauson Middle and Pioneer High. Dining options are plentiful, with favorites like Mister Spots and Washtenaw Dairy on the neighborhood's eastern side. Nearby, Argus Farm Stop and Trader Joe's meet grocery needs. The area is well-connected with bus lines and bike lanes, and ongoing improvements aim to enhance road safety and connectivity. Despite some concerns about losing historic homes, the neighborhood is evolving to meet the demand for more housing.
