Woodbury is best bang for your buck by far

I have three times the space for the same price, or less, than friends living at 618 or the Yard. I pay very little for covered parking ($25/mo) and Woodbury has great amenities (free shuttle to Ross, free breakfast during the week, pool, gym with Peletons, etc. Getting to campus requires some coordination and planning between taking the Woodbury shuttles, two public bus routes running nearby, and driving, but it is a minor hassle for the incredible value that Woodbury provides.

Woodbury is Amazing

I'm in a 3 bed 2.5 bath townhouse. It is listed as 1460 square feet but has a fully finished basement which really brings it closer to 2000 square feet. The pet fee is $30/month, and trash and water will be close to $110-$120 per month. Electricity runs us between $110-$175 depending on the season, and internet is $40/month. The free shuttle to Ross and free breakfast are incredible. We love the pool and the Pelotons in the fitness center. The clubhouse is really great as well. We have two kids and a dog, and there are two parks inside Woodbury and an additional dog park. Work orders are always spot on and done within a day. We are yet to have a bad experience here and would 100% recommend to any MBA.

Overpriced

overpriced. The place is falling apart and the maintenance ghetto rigs any “fixes”.

Woodbury

Ideal for law students. The complex is mostly grad students, young professionals, families with young kids, and retirees so things are typically quiet.

The appartment has few problems (ie no mold, nothing has fallen appart) apart from occasional plumbing problems. Management is disorganized and can be slow to react to issues but is light years ahead of any other lamdlord I've had. Walls are quite thin.

Shuttle, gym, grill, pool and breakfast/free drinks are all nice, but shouldn't really inform your decision. The 6 bus picks up right on south industrial and will take you to school gaster than the shuttle usually but having both does add flexibility. Having luckys right around the corner comes in handy often for quick meals or picking up something you forgot groccery shopping.

Safe and Warm

I like Woodbury Gardens, many grad students who have families and pets live here. Also non students and other professionals live in the area. The only thing I don't like is how far away it is from school.

Woodbury Gardens

My partner and I really enjoy living at Woodbury. We have a cozy one bedroom apartment with a dishwasher, washing machine and dryer in the apartment which is incredibly convenient (though not all units have washing machines). We also take advantage of the community gym (it has Peloton bikes!), pool, study spaces and printers. It is a quiet community with lots of young adults and families. We are close to a grocery store, CVS, great coffee shop and fun bowling alley, and we are on a bus line that stops at the law school.

Okay place to live - very convenient

Woodbury gardens is a fine property and very responsive to any issues you may have. The commute to school is the best part about it however. For someone who doesn't want to be on campus with all the undergrad's or for someone like me who has a spouse, this is a great option.

Woodbury Gardens is its own community - so we don't get a lot of surrounding neighborhood effect and it's quieter.

I haven't had to go to school in person yet (due to the pandemic) - but once things are back in person, I would use the community shuttle to get to campus and possibly back depending on the time of day I head back. Otherwise, I would take the bus or walk. Walking takes about 30 min but the bus will cut down most of that since there is a city stop right at the entrance to Woodbury.
Overall, a nice and quiet neighborhood that feels secure and is slightly removed from campus, so you're away from the hustle and bustle of the University. Definitely a grad student neighborhood. Close to public transit lines, and there is a nice grocery store near the apartment complex. Running trails are nearby, and road access to I-94 is pretty quick as well. Within an extended walk of campus, the Big House, and Ross. Really enjoy living here.
I like the convenience of getting to Ross in six minutes for class, group meetings, or coffee chats. It’s great to be able to come home and grab a quick bite before changing into a suit and walking back over. Easy walk to hockey games, and about 15 minutes to Bus/Big House. Well situated to make it to social gatherings at Skeeps, Rick’s, Munger, or any other place.
Woodbury is on the other side of Stadium Ave from Burns Park, but it's convenient access. The complex itself is pretty friendly; lots of law students around though it takes a bit of effort to get to know neighbors since everyone is on their own schedules and it's a generally older crowd.
Quiet neighborhood, many UMich grad students. Good availability of shops and amenities. Definitely has a more suburban feel than the areas closest to campus/downtown and not as many restaurants/bars nearby.
Quieter area with more families and not many undergraduate students. Still walkable to campus, but you probably won’t want to do the walk in the winter and need a car to get to grocery stores.
The neighborhood has everything you need (grocery, coffee, pharmacy, etc.) and is close to the Big House. It is farther away from downtown's bars, restaurants, and other amenities.
Safe, albeit there have been bicycle theft issues. It is quiet here in the community. Walking distance to UM Stadium, not far from Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Plum Market, etc...
