Lovely and spacious townhome (and community)

This is a 2-story townhome plus a basement. Areas such as bedrooms, kitchen, living room, dining area, etc. are generally larger than a typical 2 bed apartment. The basement is great for storage or for transforming it into whatever you need. We use it as a playground for our 2 yr old son. The Woodbury community is really spacious with plenty of green areas for walking or just hanging around. Location is perfect because is just outside of downtown noise, but close enough for 7-8 minute commute.

Woodbury Gardens Review

Overall, my experience at WG has been positive. Since August 2020, there has been new management who has responded quicker to concerns. Rent is not cheap at Woodbury, but there are added benefits of being close to Ross, but not directly across campus.

WG has a more mature crowd (grad students, families, working-age adults), which may appeal to a certain demographic. The dog park is great, there is a pool in the warmer months, and also there is a shuttle bus that runs daily (M-F) between WG and Ross/Downtown + a weekly grocery run to a super market for those who do not have a vehicle.

Nothing special but still a great choice.

Being at Woodbury ended up being a blessing in disguise. At first, I was upset that I was so far from campus (30-40 min walk), but because of the pandemic it didn't matter. Instead, I got the benefit of not living downtown and having a lot of green space to walk around, hang out socially distant, and play with my dog.

We didn't have a car when we first moved here and that was annoying. We used uber and zip cars, and while you can get away without having a car, your life will be improved with a car .

Love Woodbury Gardens!

If you have a dog, the dog park is an absolute must-have. Spacious floorplans in the townhouses and amazing value for money!

Very nice place, good value

The apartments are very nice (especially for the price). The management team makes a concerted effort to promote community engagement/make your time here comfortable.

Woodbury is a mile away from campus - just enough to make it really annoying to get there (although Woodbury has shuttles that will take you to/from).

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...
