Good Value

In my opinion best price for what you get. Apartments are nice, amenities are great. Lots of Rossers. They have a shuttle that goes straight to Ross. There is also a bus that goes to Ross every 15 min.

Pretty good spot

This is your typical apartment, nothing special. But the neighborhood is nice, location is great, maintenance is pretty on top of it and the shuttle, breakfast, clubhouse, dog park and pool are all really nice to have. Overall, not a bad spot to live for a few years. Only a 8 minute bike ride to Ross.

Relatively Cheap

Good for families, great transport access to Ross, relatively cheap
Management is friendly, very pet-friendly (we have a dog).
Gym is in the clubhouse, mostly cardio.
Far from bars/restaurants, so don't pick it if you want that kind of social life.

They should rename this place Ross Gardens

These apartments and townhomes are approximately 1 mile away from the Ross campus.

Pros: I enjoy the daily shuttle that is provided that takes students directly to Ross and other areas on campus. I also like that the clubhouse is open late which is great for studying. They offer breakfast on weekday mornings. They also have had a 30 day money back guarantee - (pro-tip: get all of your issues with your place fixed then)! Additional bonus: if you’re coming to Ann Arbor with a lot of belongings, the townhomes have extremely large basement for storage. And storage is quite expensive in A2. There is free parking on the streets so no need to pay extra for the carport. Close to Lucky’s Market (organic grocery store). Dog friendly - they just created a small dog park where a lot of people bring their dogs to play. I’d recommend extending your lease if you’re thinking about staying the next year (saves money).

Things to be desired: The townhomes and apartments are on the older side, but there are upgraded units for an extra fee. I’m not in an upgraded unit so my townhome is on the older side. No ceiling lights in living room or bedrooms. Two bedroom townhomes only have one full bath and 2 half baths. Downsides to parking along the street - our parkedcar was hit on the street (first snow). walls are a bit thin, but our neighbors are quiet.

Great Place

This is conveniently located and peaceful. I feel very safe, and I know if I had an issue, management would resolve it. I love that I can walk to the grocery store and have two free options to get to school ( bus or the Woodbury Shuttle). The drawback is that management is unnecessarily strict with shared spaces, so don't expect to be able to reserve the club house or eat in a conference room.

Very Residential

Woodbury is a large residential facility with spacious apartments, plenty of green areas and covered parking space. Property management is very responsive to anything you need. There is a shuttle that takes you to Ross, and a very well equipped clubhouse with meeting rooms, gym, pool, etc.

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...
