The Neighborhood
This is the best neighborhood in Ann Arbor. It is quiet and residential, yet proximate to all the commercial, social and educational attractions that make Ann Arbor the best place to live in the USA. (Niche.com, April 17, 2017) The building is on a quiet, residential street and the building is peaceful, clean and pleasant.
Second Street is lined with venerable trees, cooling in the summer and providing a breathtaking color tour of red, orange, yellow and brown leaves in the fall.
Containing a central elementary school, the OWS is a delightful mix of families of all ages, apartments, single family homes and long term residents.
