West Willow is a tight -knit community close to Downtown Ann Arbor
From constructing airplanes to rebuilding the community, West Willow has a history of coming together to get the job done. Ashley Gartrelle, a local Realtor at More Group Michigan with over 12 years of industry experience says, “West Willow has always given me a sense of community.” For decades, the West Willow Neighborhood Association has been the glue of the community, organizing small local events that bring the whole neighborhood together. Gartrelle adds, “The community has been showing so many signs of growth with recent revitalization efforts, and I’m excited to see it fully bloom.” While West Willow is a unique community on its own, bordering interstates connect the neighborhood to all Ann Arbor has to offer.
West Willow homes were built to accommodate the Willow Run workers
West Willow homes were built between the 1940s and 1960s to accommodate the Willow Run Bomber Plant factory workers just across Ward Road. 1,050 modest ranch-style homes are neatly organized along the neighborhood’s flat residential streets. Neighbors chat from small, shaded front patios and retreat to fenced-in backyards for a bit more privacy. Most of the brick homes offer two to three bedrooms and private parking with side driveways leading to detached garages. Homeowners can find houses under $100,000, with few homes reaching values over $300,000. West Willow homes are significantly cheaper than surrounding neighborhoods where the average price is about double.
