The Huron River forms the eastern border of the town, and as you move north you’ll find golf courses, parks, recreations areas, and opportunities for boating and fishing. Families flock to Dexter for the sheer amount of character and amenities crammed into its surroundings, but if you need to access the city of Ann Arbor, you can be there in no time.

We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
