College Heights Homes for Rent

College Heights in Ypsilanti, often referred to as Ypsi, is a neighborhood adjacent to Eastern Michigan University, featuring a mix of split-level, two-story, ranch, and Colonial Revival homes. Built primarily between the 1940s and 1960s, these homes retain historic charm with large front porches, sloped rooflines, and bright accents. Some homes have been converted into multiunit rentals managed by local companies. The neighborhood is popular among university faculty and other residents due to its proximity to various amenities. Local dining options include Dom Bakeries for donuts and coffee, La Torre Taqueria for tamales and tacos, and The Wurst Bar for brats and beers. For things to do, residents can enjoy performances at the Riverside Arts Center and monthly First Fridays Ypsilanti events downtown, showcasing local artists and live performances. The Michigan Summer Beer Festival at Riverside Park is another highlight. While there are no shopping centers within College Heights, Washtenaw Fountain Plaza and Fresh Thyme Market are nearby. Candy Cane Park, located centrally in the neighborhood, offers playgrounds, little league games, and access to the Border to Border Trail, a 35-mile paved pathway connecting Ypsi to Ann Arbor and beyond. Washtenaw Avenue provides easy access to downtown Ypsi and Ann Arbor, with bus services available via the Ann Arbor Area Transportation Authority.
