An urban oasis for college students and commuters

Urban Walkable College Town Commuter

For students of Eastern Michigan University, Midtown Ypsilanti is a convenient, highly sought-after neighborhood. Situated just north of the University and just outside of Downtown Ypsilanti, Midtown is a thriving urban neighborhood with walkable streets, tree-lined roads, and commuter benefits. The public bus stations around the city will get you where you need to go, and if you’re traveling into nearby Ann Arbor for work or school, it’s a quick eight or so miles northwest.

Residents enjoy the restaurants along Highway 17 like Sweetwaters Coffee & Tea, and more dining options can be found along Michigan Avenue, like Red Rock Downtown Barbeque and Ma Lou’s Fried Chicken nearing the Huron River. Though Midtown is quaint, it has a lively atmosphere with plenty of apartments and houses to choose from for students, families, and more.
