Condos, traditional and ranch-style homes
Houses in the neighborhood include a range of minimal traditional, ranch-style properties and lovingly maintained Split-Level homes. Prospective homebuyers can expect median sales prices to hover around $318,000. Cottage-style and modern condominiums can start in the mid $100,000s, primarily for smaller, one-to-two-bedroom properties, and can go up to the $700,000s. Single-family, three-bedroom homes can start in the mid $200,000s and also reach up to the $700,000s. Newer developments in the area feature traditional properties with elegant, multi-peaked rooflines. Lots are larger than those closer to downtown Ann Arbor, so homes tend to sit further away from the street.

Strolls around County Farm Park
At Nelson Meade County Farm Park, young children can explore the farm-themed playground with a tot-sized barn and windmill to celebrate the land’s history as a working farm. The 127-acre park has enough space for wooded hiking trails and a community garden. The trails weave through prairie, Britton Woods and the perennial gardens, with loop lengths available for a short stroll or sustained workout. Buhr Park’s outdoor pools are summertime hits for the neighborhood. In the winter, residents can trade their swimsuits for ice skates and enjoy the onsite ice arena.

Students then go on to attend Tappan Middle School and Huron High School, both scoring A-plus ratings on Niche.

Light up the night during FoolMoon
Head to the south end of Buhr Park to find Cobblestone Farm, a postcard-worthy farmhouse from the mid-1800s that now acts as a community event center and offers appointment-only guided tours. Locals can also head to one of the many annual events held in downtown Ann Arbor, slightly over 3 miles away, such as FoolMoon. During the festival, the night sky illuminates with light-filled art installations as residents stroll the streets of downtown.

Short commutes to downtown Ann Arbor
Downtown Ann Arbor is just a short drive down Washtenaw Avenue, while other major nearby roadways include Huron Parkway and Interstate 94. Public transportation options are found along Platt and Packard Street. For regional and international travel, Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport is about 22 miles away, while the University of Michigan Hospital sits downtown about 4 miles away in case of emergencies.Essentials along Washtenaw Avenue
Washtenaw Avenue’s commercial corridor runs past US Route 23 and west to the University of Michigan campus next to downtown Ann Arbor. Head to Washtenaw Avenue to pick up groceries at Whole Foods Market, Kroger or Patel Brothers. Major retailers like Michaels and Nordstrom Rack are also anchored here. For a bite to eat, Siam Square offers authentic Thai food for Friday night takeout. Come hungry to Satchel’s BBQ, where smoked meats dominate the menu, and the brisket deserves a second helping. Paesano Restaurant and Wine Bar, which has been serving the public since 1984, is also a popular spot for a date night. Come back for Italian language lessons, wine tasting, cooking classes or a leisurely meal on the charming patio of this memorable Italian destination.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
