About a 30 minute walk from campus and there's a bus stop right outside the subdivision. There's also a shuttle if you feel like getting to campus quite early. I like the apartment, there's a clubhouse with meeting rooms, a gym, and free breakfast & coffee on weekdays, which are nice amenities.

The apartment is spacious and the neighborhood is very family friendly. The place was a bit dated but mostly clean when we moved in. The biggest issue was mold in the bathroom that we had to address, and they were a little bit slow on maintenance requests but nothing too egregious.

My partner and I rent a townhome at Woodbury Gardens and absolutely love it. Maintenance is very responsive, the community is clean and well-kept, and best of all it’s quiet! My partner and I wanted to avoid complexes with a large undergrad population, rent somewhere pet-friendly, and that was within our budget. We pay the same amount at Woodbury for a 2 bedroom townhome than we would for a one bedroom apartment in a complex closer to the law school. It’s right on the bus line, and walkable to the Burns Park area which is lovely. Overall we really enjoy living here and our dog does too, since there’s a private dog park on the property!

I have lived in Ann Arbor and this is the best place I have lived. Many law students live here. It is a 10 min walk to the stadium and a 5 minute bus ride to the law school. Close to grocery stores (including Costco) by car. Also close to York and Black Diesel (my favorite coffee shops in town).

Woodbury is a convenient place to live with everything you need on site. I will say that the townhouses are built very "basic" and even in the "upgraded" ones they don't seem that upgraded. The rent is expensive for what you actually get.

The apartments at Woodbury are spacious and clean

Includes dog park that is rarely full in the morning (but fills up with doggies in the evening). About a 25-30 minute walk from the law school, but there is a bus stop right by the complex that also has a The Ride bus line to the law school. Area seems safe and lots of students live in the community. Property came clean and any work orders are addressed fast. Easy to communicate with the property oversight staff as you can just walk to the clubhouse during office hours. Walls in the apartment (at least at 1203 Astor Ave) seem thick enough, have not had any noise issues living on the basement level. Property is well maintained and great for walking dogs around or jogging. Property has a community pool and basic gym in the clubhouse building.

Only downside is if you do not have a car, there is no major grocery outlet within walking distance. The property does offer a shuttle service to the grocery store every week (or every other week).

If you get a referral from an existing resident, they will give some sort of discount BUT you must go out of your way to tell them you got that referral before (or right after, I think) you apply for the apartment. The application does not include somewhere to put the referral.

Woodbury is a great neighborhood for students with pets, a partner, and/or family. The apartments have great value given the amount of space you receive for what you pay. A downside which may be taken up with the local utility DTE, is the power seems to go out more frequently than other neighborhoods. I am able to take 4 different buses to get to Ross, in addition to free/cheap parking options.

The unit is very nice. Maintenance is generally very quick and accommodating. Rent is just crazy though. This is true of all of Ann Arbor. Students HAVE to be here for school so landlords can prey on them by charging outrageous prices. Rent and housing prices nation wide have skyrocketed due to poor zoning from administrators, greedy landlords and land owners, etc. But Ann arbor is ridiculous. Housing prices are relatively equivalent to Chicago...a major city in the country. That is simply unrealistic. Woodbury apartments as well as every other landlord in the city preys on students every time they collect the rent.

There are a lot of MBA students, especially with family. I am not sure if Woodbury is best in terms of locations, etc. But the community is definitely a benefit of living here.
