Locals live in condos off South Maple Road
Attached homes comprise most of South Maple's housing stock. Branching off the community's primary thoroughfare are condominium complexes from the 1960s and luxury townhome communities from the early 21st century. Summit View is a sprawling condo community with one and two-bedroom options for $200,000, with complex amenities such as an indoor pool and racquetball courts. Other condo communities include Maple Meadows and Pinelake Village. New-age townhomes afford three bedrooms and nearly 2,000 square feet for price tags around $450,000. A few detached bungalows and cottages from the 1950s and '60s offer moderately wooded lots with a bit of space from neighbors for prices between $250,000 and $450,000. The streets in the community are lined with sidewalks and crosswalks so locals can safely walk to the park or the store.

Days at South Maple Park or exploring Dicken Woods
Residents enjoy a day outside at South Maple Park, a nearly 8-acre woodsy respite with ample recreational amenities. Kids enjoy the shaded playground, bikers explore the tucked-away trails and athletes practice their swing on the tennis and pickleball courts. Locals leash up their pups and head to the Dicken Woods Nature Area for more time outdoors. Spanning 10 acres, the nature area features a popular unpaved loop trail that ventures through a forest, around ponds and over a seasonal wetland. South Maple's parks offer views of Ann Arbor's natural vegetation of flowery green spaces and wavering cattails.

Residents can hop on TheRide to reach the rest of Ann Arbor
South Maple is served by the Ann Arbor Transportation Authority, also known as TheRide. The transit system runs through the greater Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti area, stopping at several points throughout South Maple. Locals can hop on a bus if headed to a game at Michigan Stadium 2 miles away. Drivers have the ease of Highway 94 hugging the community's western border, and if they're headed into downtown Ann Arbor, they only have a 3-mile journey east.

Locals browse the storefronts at Westgate Shopping Center
"This is a really centrally located neighborhood," Yerkes says. "You can easily walk to several grocery stores, restaurants and shops." There are ample shopping and dining options within walking distance in South Maple. Westgate Shopping Center is under a mile from most area residents, featuring big box names, like TJ Maxx and Kroger. Book worms file into Schuler's Books for a good read, and shoe lovers hunt for a comfy new pair at Mast Shoes. The neighboring shopping center, Maple Village, offers locals additional retail options, like Burlington Clothing Store, Dunham Sports and HomeGoods. For organic produce, many shoppers head Ann Arbor's "original organic grocery," Arbor Farms Market. The local market has served the community since 1979 with access to grass-fed beef, local beer and organic produce. And if locals would rather have dinner out of the house, Zingerman's Roadhouse is a popular spot known for its savory pork. Other options include Dimo's Deli and Donuts, where locals can grab hearty sandwiches and freshly made donuts.

GreatSchools:
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.
