Garden Homes Houses for Sale

Garden Homes in Ann Arbor is a family-friendly neighborhood adjacent to Wines Elementary School and Forsythe Middle School, both highly rated and walkable from local homes. The area features low-slung ranchers and compact Cape Cods, mostly dating back to the mid-1900s, with recent renovations affecting their price points. Homes typically have comfortable yards under a quarter-acre and are priced around $450,000 on average. Garden Homes Park serves as a central gathering space with a playground and walking pathways, popular for playdates and dog walks. The neighborhood also offers easy access to the Huron River and nature areas like Bird Hills Nature Area and Bandemer Nature Area. Despite the convenience of the nearby M-14 freeway, which allows quick trips east or west, the proximity to the major road brings some noise to the otherwise quiet area.
