Home to waterfront parks and university students

Tucked along the curve of the Huron River, Broadway is filled with waterfront parks and students who attend the nearby University of Michigan. Single-family homes hold more permanent locals while students take up residence in apartment complexes and townhouses. Both groups enjoy the convenience of nearby Downtown Ann Arbor amenities just across the river. “The college definitely draws people here so there are lots of students around,” says a local employee at the Highlands Apartments. “And the students here are actually really quiet and really focused on their studies. I’ve managed properties closer to the football stadium and the difference is night and day.”

Victorians, colonials, cottages and bungalows

Broadway housing is split between a collection of multifamily and single-family homes. Victorian houses and brick colonials line up next to colorful cottages and modern bungalows covered in flowers. Multifamily housing ranges from $1,500 rentals to $500,000 townhouses. The median single-family home price is about $290,500. There are around 630 total homes in the neighborhood. The average number of days on the market for homes in Broadway is slightly higher than the national average. The median year built is 1964 and the average single-family home size is about 940 feet. The median lot size is around 12,600 square feet and homes are often connected with sidewalks enjoyed by joggers and dog walkers. “Everybody here is so friendly,” the Highlands Apartment employee said. “We’re in the midwest and it shows. People are always out walking and chatting.”

From tacos and pizza to sushi and chicken

The majority of local shopping, dining and grocery amenities are outside of the neighborhood, but there are a few places to stop for dinner in Broadway. Beirock Wraps is a popular taco truck that’s been serving everything from quesadillas and burritos to tortas and hot dogs since 2017. Marco’s Pizza is a counter-serve chain with an authentic Italian process and dough made fresh daily. The special three-cheese blend and secret sauce recipe they used to create custom pizzas has been the same since the restaurant was founded in 1978. Plate Sushi and Chicken is an industrial-chic Japanese restaurant with sushi rolls, wings and udon. Just across the river are dozens of additional restaurants. Grocery options include the nearby Kroger and ALDI. One popular location is the Ann Arbor Farmers Market which was founded in 1919 and has booths of fruits, soaps and hot food.

The nearby Leslie Park Golf Course is another popular local destination where visitors can enjoy the award-winning course while surrounded by towering trees and a small creek.
