Located in Washtenaw County
Not one to beat around the bush, this township proudly calls itself Superior. Known for its agriculture industry and nature preserves, Superior Township also retains zoning in highly-rated public school districts and is close to walkable city centers. "You definitely get more rural scenery out this way, but are still close to the hospital, Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti,” says Justin Ham, a local broker with the Lucy Ham Realty Group.
Most of the development in the area came after the nearby industrial center, Willow Run, was expanded in the mid-1900s. “Willow Run has long been a site on the map,” says Ashley Gartrelle, a Realtor with More Group Michigan, LLC. Known as a hub of factory work during World War II, the southern parts of Superior Township were filled with humble cottages and ranch-style homes. The houses that remain from this time are priced between $200,000 and $300,000 and tend to be the smallest homes available in the area.
While the area grew during the midcentury, most of the landscape remains rural, with family farms and modern developments set far back on country roads. A few subdivisions close to Ypsilanti and Ann Arbor offer neo-eclectic style houses built in the early 2000s, priced from $500,000 to $750,000. Recently, custom-built modern homes that blend farmhouse and contemporary architectural styles have come on the market. These are generally priced between $1 and $2 million, depending on size and customizations.
Superior Township has hundreds of acres of countryside and wilderness carefully set aside for preservation and public use. LeFurge Woods Nature Preserve has 325 acres waiting for bird watchers, dog walkers and hikers to explore. Bicycle and hiking trails connect the preserve to the Conservancy Farm, home to the Southeast Michigan Land Conservancy main office and the original settler log cabin and farmland. The Conservancy Farm is also home to the Community Organic Garden, where locals can reserve their own plots and donate to support the garden’s upkeep. Explore more of southeast Michigan’s countryside at Kosch Headwaters Preserve, where miles of trails wind through 160 acres of prairie, woodland and wetland environments.
Superior Township doesn’t have a distinct downtown or commercial center, but its county roads are just a few miles from the Ypsilanti Jazz Festival and the city's edgy arts culture. Sports enthusiasts watch major college football games at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor. Locals may have to travel to enjoy a dinner out, but once on the road, they can try everything from the fine dining ambiance of Gandy Dancer in Ann Arbor to homemade root beer and coney dogs at the Ypsilanti’s roadside favorite, Bill’s Drive Inn. The nearest grocery store is Kroger, located in north Ypsilanti.
Superior Township residents have access to some of the highest-rated educational opportunities in the state through the Ann Arbor School District. Students may attend Holmes Elementary School, graded C minus by Niche, for kindergarten through sixth grade, then move on to Clague Middle and Huron High School, both graded A plus by Niche. Huron High School offers classes for both trade school and college preparation, with extra opportunities in cosmetology, homebuilding and health sciences. Alternative school options include South Pointe Scholars Academy in Ypsilanti, a tuition- free charter school that offers music, athletics and visual arts programs.
Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti are within 12 miles of the township, a quick commute for locals who work in the city centers. However, the woodlands, farmland and excellent schools are what make this township Superior.
