Traveling by way of 94 and TheRide
Interstate 94, running along the southern edge, leads residents to Ann Arbor, Detroit and Southeast Michigan. The thoroughfare also brings travelers to Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport. The Ann Arbor Transit Authority, known to locals and university students as TheRide, has a handful of bus stops in the community to zip around the region. Those seeking healthcare can find a medical complex containing Trinity Health less than 5 miles north.Locals head out for groceries and dining
Locals have to travel outside of the community for shopping and dining. But the neighborhood is only a mile south of downtown's small strip filled with diners, cafes and small businesses. "Downtown is a walkable and eclectic area with available bus transit that will take you to and from Ann Arbour," says Candye Hinton, a local Ypsi resident and broker of Hinton Real Estate Group. Tap Room is an easy-going gastropub to celebrate the weekend, or any day, with a few games of pool, live music and a generously sized burger. Early risers can grab coffee and vegan options at Café Liv. Encuentro Latino Restaurant and A Taste Of Soul By Biggie are more Ypsilanti staples not far from Heritage Park. Those looking to refill their kitchen cabinets can find a Kroger about 2 miles south on Whittaker Road.

Home to Parkridge Park
Parkridge Park is a traditional neighborhood space with a playground, tennis courts, and enough space for residents to walk their dogs or play frisbee. The Parkridge Community Center offers a gym and a walking track for residents for convenient exercise options in the winter months. It also hosts after-school activities, summer programs and classes through Michigan State University Extension and other organizations. In 2022, a Ypsi native brightened the basketball court with a colorful mural. As a south Ypsilanti neighborhood, Heritage Park puts residents within a few miles of North Bay Park. This local gateway to Ford Lake has 129 acres of woodland hiking trails, fishing, wetland birdwatching and lakeside views.

Buying into Heritage Park
Heritage Park contains sidewalks and varying lot sizes, some with fenced-in backyards. The streets are lined with modest homes built before the 1970s. Many properties are simple brick ranches, cottages and American Foursquares. Next to the neighborhood park are public housing units that received upgrades in 2016 by the Ypsilanti Housing Commission. Most of the home options in Heritage Park lean toward rentals and multifamily units. However, listings tend to range on average from $30,000 for a .15-acre plot of land to upwards of $225,000 for an upgraded midcentury home.The community has a CAP Index crime score of 10, compared to the national average of 4. In 2023, the local police department requested a collaboration with the Washtenaw County Sheriff to help assist in response times. The area is also supported by a network of community organizations, such as A Brighter Way, which aims to provide helpful services that reduce the chance of criminal offenses.

Attending Ypsilanti Community Schools
Perry Early Learning Center enrolls local students from prekindergarten through first grade, and earns a B-minus from Niche. These students can explore music, art and science topics before moving on to Estabrook Elementary and Ypsilanti Community Middle; both schools have a C-minus from Niche. Teens take dual enrollment courses and participate in CTE pathways at AC Tech High School, which receives a C-plus grade. Some students will move on to Eastern Michigan University or Washtenaw Community College, both less than 5 miles away.

Parkridge SummerFest
Parkridge Summer Festival is an annual event held inside the community. Residents attending the one-day event have free entry to live performances, food vendors and a resource tent providing information on supportive community programs.

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.
