Sister Lakes Homes for Sale

Sister Lakes in Ann Arbor features a mix of home styles, including bungalows, ranch-style homes, split levels, and Colonial Revival designs, mostly built between 1920 and 1960. The neighborhood's winding streets are shaded by mature trees, with average lot sizes around a quarter-acre. While most of the area has a suburban feel with sidewalks and crosswalks, Lakeview Avenue and Westover Street have rustic unpaved streets and more private lots. Dolph Nature Area, a 75-acre park with Ann Arbor's only naturally formed lakes, offers trails for dog walking and bird-watching, and seasonal activities like ice skating. Local highlights include 19 Drips Coffee & Tea, known for its Yemeni coffee, and Weber's Hotel with its fine-dining steakhouse. Westgate Shopping Center, less than a mile away, provides various dining options, grocery stores, and the Westgate Branch Public Library. The Sister Lakes Association organizes community events such as the biannual Help Yourself Day and plans to introduce an annual ice cream social. The neighborhood is zoned for highly rated schools, including Lakewood Elementary, Forsythe Middle, and Skyline High School. Downtown Ann Arbor is 3 miles away, accessible via a bus line on Jackson Road with a 10-minute commute. Sister Lakes is bordered by Interstate 94, which, along with Jackson Road, contributes some noise, though a nearby cemetery helps buffer it. The interstate also provides quick access to Detroit Metropolitan Airport, 28 miles away.
