Barton Hills Houses for Sale

Barton Hills is a distinct village known for its spacious yards and luxurious homes, separate from Ann Arbor. With a small population, the neighborhood offers a sense of exclusivity and prestige. Designed by the same architects as New York's Central Park, Barton Hills retains its original layout, featuring undeveloped land between homes. The architectural styles here range from midcentury modern to Colonial-revival and cutting-edge modern constructions, each set on several acres with private driveways and mature trees. Barton Hills is safer than the national average, providing a low crime risk environment. Outdoor enthusiasts appreciate the natural beauty and access to Barton Pond, which prohibits motorized vehicles to protect Ann Arbor's drinking water source. The Barton Boat Club hosts sailing races, and the nearby Barton Nature Area offers hiking and fishing opportunities, despite occasional freeway noise. The Barton Hills Country Club, the neighborhood's only business, features an 18-hole golf course, pool complex, and various social amenities. Children in Barton Hills attend highly rated schools: Wines Elementary, Forsythe Middle, and Skyline High. For dining and entertainment, residents drive about 3 miles to Kerrytown and downtown Ann Arbor, known for its local businesses, eateries, and the University of Michigan's cultural events. While relatively secluded from road noise, Barton Hills provides access to State Route 14, connecting to Detroit, 40 miles away, and I-94 for Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport.
