320 E Madison

I like it! Close to the law school, spacious floor plans, responsive management.

This has been an extremely convenient place to live. It is within walking distance to campus and downtown and there are a lot of other law students also living here.

This is our second year in this apartment. I live in a two-bed one-bath with one other law student. The place is really big in terms of square footage, and it comes partially furnished (desks, beds, coffee table, couch). It is less than a 10 minute walk to campus. The landlords are accessible and respond quickly to maintenance requests. They also work with students a lot and don't require a co-signer/proof of income; you just need to pass a credit and background check. Non-covered parking is available for $25 per month (which is included in rent estimate above).

The single bathroom was a downside, but it is split into two parts (so the shower/toilet has a separate door). We added laundry access for a flat fee; you do have to walk to the building next door, but we've always been able to get a machine. Air conditioning is available for the warmest months, but it works on a building-wide chiller system. That just means that once they shut off the chiller for the year you won't have air conditioning. Not a huge deal - just unfortunate on the warmer days in October.

Overall, we have had a super positive experience with our landlord. The building is conveniently located and at a great price point. We would recommend it to other law students.

I highly recommend Eladott as a rental company. They have a lot of properties all around Ann Arbor--some of which are nicer/newer than others. The people who run the company are really responsive and nice, and they work really well with students. Our apartment (at 320 E. Madison) is super close to campus. We have had a smooth experience with all of our maintenance requests and property maintenance. Highly recommend looking into the Eladott properties!

Good value apartment with big bedrooms. Kitchens are average. Central AC makes it all worth it.

It's hard to find a place in Ann Arbor that doesn't require you to sacrifice on attributes that you are looking for. For 320 E Madison, the apartment has excellent proximity to school and downtown. It has a good amount of space. This all comes for a price that feels reasonable for what you are getting. That being said, we did sacrifice on having in-unit laundry (the laundry is in the next building over). Also, after living here for 2 years, I will say that the temperature control in the apartments (particularly during the summer and shoulder seasons) has been problematic. We bought a portable AC unit to supplement the building AC.

Relatively inexpensive apartment, close to business school, not very charming or updated

I've had a very good experience living at 320 E Madison so far (4 months). The apartment is very spacious for the price. It's also in a good location--close to the law school and downtown, while also on a quiet street that doesn't get a lot of traffic. Management has been quick to respond to any minor maintenance issues we've had, but otherwise everything has worked well.

There's parking behind the apartment buildings for $25/month. Laundry is a short walk two buildings over which is a bit annoying and costs $14/month/person.
