Great balance between location price and space

The office staff are friendly, the daily shuttle is great for getting to class. With the shuttle my commute is <10 minutes to Ross. The gym is nice and it is a very friendly community for pets and families.

Needed the square footage

A little farther from campus, but shuttle helps the commute to Ross alot. A car is not necessary, but helpful if you decide to stay there. If need a basement, there are townhouses with plenty of basement space to avoid additional storage fees.

Sufficient but nothing to write home about

Woodbury Gardens is a great location. There's a bus stop right outside the complex and also has a shuttle to campus. There is lots of storage in the unit, but the unit isn't very nice. For 2 years, it's doable.

It’s fine.

Bit far from campus but much more space and cheaper than other equivalent places like 618 etc although definitely not as nice.

Place is good, have to be very clear with management

Management will always try to get more money out of you but location, houses and overall quality is great

Woodbury is a great place to call home

I have lived at Woodbury Gardens for 3 years now, and I absolutely love it. The management has been very responsive, they offer a long list of amenities, and the apartments themselves are high quality. I also love that they offer a free shuttle driven by Larry, the friendliest guy you'll meet. He really makes the short commute up to the Ross School of Business fun!

Worth the walk

I love living at Woodbury. There is a gym on-site open from 6 am to midnight, breakfast served on weekdays, a shuttle that goes directly to the law school and a bus station two minutes away. I have parking and excellent neighbors who are very amenable to pet-sitting. Management is super responsive to maintenance requests and are very friendly. I love living here. Pro tip - I live with a not-law student, and she was able to get on the wait list before I was even admitted to law school. The waitlist is a drawback for a lot of people, but if you can get into an apartment here, it is worth it.

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...
