Milan Township is a quiet, rural enclave in Monroe County where land is plentiful. Most residents have homes on multiple acres that they can use for hunting or hobby farms. And thanks to the community’s proximity to the city of Milan and bustling Ann Arbor—roughly 5 and 20 miles away respectively—shopping, dining and entertainment are never far away.
Homes in Milan Township are a mix of ranch-style, manufactured, Cape Cod and Colonial Revival. Most sit on an acre or more of land, which Tammy Culler, a broker and the owner of NextHome Roots Real Estate Group who sells throughout southeast Michigan says residents use for many reasons. “They use it for hunting, which is a big deal out here, ATVs, bonfires. Some people want to have their own gardens and a few chickens for eggs.” Houses typically sit far back from main roadways, which are usually only two lanes. Prices typically range from $200,000 to almost $450,000, with higher-priced homes often sitting on multiple acres or spanning more than 2,000 square feet.
Milan Area Schools serves the community and rates a B-plus on Niche. The district participates in Michigan’s Schools of Choice program, allowing non-resident transfers based on available space. Enrollment is first-come, first-served under district policy, not lottery. Kids can attend B-plus-rated Paddock Elementary, B-minus-rated Milan Middle and B-plus-rated Milan High. High schoolers can earn credit toward college on Milan High’s campus within the school’s dual enrollment program with nearby Washtenaw Community College.
GetAway Bay is located on the township’s southeast side and has been a local summer destination since 1962. The six-acre lake underwent a revitalization in 2022 and offers passes to its sandy beach, floating cabanas, small water park and fishing access. “A lot of people take their kids there and hang out. A good family gathering spot,” Culler says. For green spaces, residents head to the city of Milan. Wilson Park is a favorite for its walking path along Ford Lake, baseball diamonds and colorful playground.
Since the township is almost all residential, locals get their daily needs met in the city of Milan. They shop for groceries at Kroger and Milan City Market, visit the Milan Public Library, attend church, take advantage of the city’s many services and dine out at local restaurants downtown. Several standouts are Peppers Mexican Grill, known for its authentic Mexican dishes, The Owl, a unique hybrid coffee bar and brew pub and Life Is Sweet Bakery, which Culler says is her favorite bakery in the world. “Their sandwiches are really good, and they have any treat you can imagine,” she says.
Residents also enjoy proximity to regular events in the city, like the Milan Farm & Flea, where vendors sell a mix of fresh produce, handmade goods and second-hand items. The market takes place on the second and fourth Sundays of each month between June and September. Pop on Main is the city’s Small Business Saturday celebration, with a day of deals at downtown boutiques and vendors.
Residents get around by car, as there is no public bus line in the township. U.S. Route 23 is the township’s main thoroughfare and connects to Milan and Ann Arbor, other major roadways and the closest hospitals, Trinity Health Ann Arbor and University of Michigan Health, both less than 20 miles away. The closest airport is Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County, about 35 miles away.
Milan Township experiences severe thunderstorms that can lead to tornadoes. Blizzards in the winter are also typical. Flooding is possible. The Monroe County website offers resources to help keep residents prepared before severe weather strikes.
