A suburban community just south of Ypsilanti
The curve of Interstate 94 cuts Gault Village off from Ypsilanti, creating a residential community that feels separate from the rest of the bustling college town. “Gault Village has a suburban feel, but it’s really only five minutes from downtown,” says Erin Cicero, a Realtor with Howard Hanna who has experience selling in the area. “There’s also an elementary school and a park right there, which is a draw for young families.” Technically, Gault Village is part of Ypsilanti Township, not the city itself, so there are also lower taxes. And with Ford Lake to the south, residents enjoy unique waterside views. However, the nearby interstate and regional airport bring occasional noise, and the neighborhood is not that walkable to retail and restaurants.
Affordable ranch homes and bungalows
The streets of Gault Village feel neat, with well-maintained sidewalks and lines of mature trees. House styles are primarily brick ranchers, and bungalows are interspersed with split-level properties. There’s a vintage feel, as most houses were built between 1950 and 1970, and many include detached garages. Additionally, condominiums are located on a peninsula extending into Ford Lake, offering scenic views. Home and condo prices range from $150,000 for fixer-uppers to $300,000 for newly renovated properties or larger yards. “In the past 10 years, the home prices there have increased three to four times what they once were,” Cicero explains. “But the whole housing market has had such a boom, so Gault Village is still a more affordable choice compared to somewhere like Depot Town.”

Local elementary and top-rated international education
The neighborhood is arranged around Erickson Elementary School, which serves grades first through sixth and gets a C-minus rating from Niche. Parents with young kids can find community at school events, including family fun curriculum nights, cultural celebrations, and the open house picnic. Older kids can attend the Ypsilanti Community Middle School, rated C-minus, and AC Tech High, rated C-plus. Some families enter the lottery system to get into Washtenaw International Middle Academy (WIMA) and Washtenaw International High School (WIHI). Both are in Ypsilanti, and Niche ranks WIHI as the number one public high school in Michigan, so admission can be very competitive.

Lake access and neighborhood meeting place
Only a few homes have direct access to Lake Ford, but anyone can enjoy the waterside views at Loonfeather Point Park. Stretching across 11 acres, it’s a popular spot for a summer picnic or watching the sunset. There is a fishing dock, but no boat launch and the park has a $3 entrance fee during the warmer months. Further inland, the smaller Nancy Park is the go-to spot for a playdate, with colorful play structures, a soccer field and a ball diamond. And about a 3-mile drive away, the Eagle Crest Golf Club is the most popular spot to hit the greens in Ypsi.
With Ford Lake just south of the neighborhood, Gault Village is a lake community at its core.
Neighbors in Gault Village often gather together for community parties in neighborhood parks.

Distance to retail and restuarants
Gault Village is further from retail options compared to elsewhere in Ypsilanti. Big brand grocery options are 3 miles away, and downtown Ypsilanti is 2.5 miles away. But, there are some hidden spots just north of Interstate 94 that residents can reach in less than a mile. Perfect Pizza is a locally-owned takeout spot, and Ice Cream Time is often called the best ice cream in Ypsilanti. And La Espiga Dorada Market is an authentic Hispanic bakery. Towards the south, Howard’s Hoagies is known for its low-key vibe and great deals.
Grocery runs for Gault Village residents are made easy with a nearby Kroger on Michigan Ave.
Ice Cream Time is a Gault Village favorite for cold treats during the summer months.

New development coming soon?
The namesake shopping mall at the northwest corner of Gault Village was demolished in late 2023. The mall had significantly declined in recent years, and although some residents lamented the loss of a convenient shopping center, most hope it will be replaced with something better. As of the demolition date, an ongoing legal battle of ownership meant there was no official plan yet for what would replace the mall.
Bigger city commutes and causes of noise
Some homes in the north of the neighborhood experience the road noise from Interstate 94. However, the proximity to Interstate 94 means easy access to commuters heading 12 miles to Ann Arbor or 30 miles to Detroit. The Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport is only 15 miles away for longer trips. There’s also an airport closer to home called Willow Run Airport. It’s not a commercial airport, but it still brings some noise to the area, especially during the annual Thunder Over Michigan Air Show.
