Arborview
Suburban Neighborhood in Ann Arbor, Michigan
Washtenaw County 48103
Smaller homes have a neighborly feel
Arborview is the kind of neighborhood where driveways end in basketball hoops, and neighbors put little lending libraries in their front yards. Curving residential streets are lined with mature trees, and Adirondack chairs sit on front lawns, ideal for watching the kids play in the front yard. Homes here tend to stay under 1,500 square feet and come in an array of ranches, bungalows and Cape Cods. Prices start around $350,000 and can get up to $600,000 for newer renovations or closer proximity to downtown. Homes often included detached garages, typical of early to mid-1900s construction. There's some newer construction going in on the east side, offering larger homes at prices around $800,000 to over $1 million. Clearly marked crosswalks create safe pathways for kids to walk to school, and an active neighborhood watch helps maintain a CAP Crime Index Score of 2 out of 10, which is lower than the national average of 4.

Nature trails and skating rinks
The Miller Nature Area is a 22-acre forested space with meandering unpaved trails. It's a hidden spot used mainly by the surrounding residents, so it's common to see familiar faces along the trails. Despite being a mile away from city activity, Miller is home to deer, birds and butterflies. Other notable parks just outside the neighborhood include Veteran's Park, one of the busiest recreational hubs in Ann Arbor. Justin Ham, an associate broker working in southeast Michigan with the Ham Realty Group, recommends this park: "They've got a state-of-the-art skate park, ice skating, several lighted baseball and softball fields, and a great hill for sledding in the wintertime."

Living around the A-rated Haisley Elementary School
Neighborhood kids are mostly zoned to attend Haisley Elementary, but any homes east of Revena Boulevard are zoned to attend Bach Elementary. Both get an A rating from Niche. Haisley Elementary is walkable from many neighborhood homes and has an active PTO that plans school auctions and an annual ice cream social. Arborview is part of a unique zone where kids can choose where to go next — either Forsythe Middle, rated A, or Slauson Middle, rated A-plus. All kids are zoned to finish at Skyline High, rated A-plus.

Pick up fresh-baked pastries on morning walks
One of the most beloved businesses in Arborview is Hurst's bakery. Hurst, who has lived with her family in Arborview for more than 40 years, turned her lifelong love of baking into a business and now holds a pop-up market in her yard every Saturday. "Dog walkers and families come around and pick up breakfast — and people always say how cool it is to have a bakery within the neighborhood," she says. "I love being that." She also offers online ordering and is a go-to caterer for community events and church gatherings. Over along Dexter Avenue, Q Bakehouse & Market is another local favorite, with Korean baked goods and savory dumplings.

Getting into downtown Ann Arbor
Depending on where a home is in Arborview, it can be 1 mile or 2.5 miles from downtown. Homes further east, closer to downtown, come with higher price tags. Bus lines also run along Dexter and Miller Avenue for those who want a faster trip. There are no continuous bike lanes from Arborview into downtown. Heading out of town, Arborview is about 1.5 miles from Interstate 94, which connects with Detroit Airport.Shopping options and public library along Maple Road
All of Arborview, especially the homes on the western side, have easy access to the shopping along Maple Road. An Aldi actually sits within the neighborhood, putting groceries within walking distance. Right next door, Knight's Steakhouse is a go-to spot for a nice dinner out. There's also a Plum Market and a collection of restaurants, including the popular Zingerman's Roadhouse. The Westgate Branch of the Ann Arbor Public Library also sits within the strip malls.

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.
