Relocating to Orchard Hills
Learn the Ann Arbor area before you look at homes, so you can choose the right place from a distance.
Relocating to Orchard Hills
If you're relocating for a job on the University of Michigan's North Campus or medical campus, Orchard Hills is close by. It's on Ann Arbor's northeast side, just north of Plymouth Road, with easy access to US-23.
We'll start with a phone call or a Zoom meeting about your job, your timeline, and what you want in a home.
If your new job is on North Campus or at the medical campus, Orchard Hills keeps the commute short, and US-23 is easy to reach for trips farther out. At home, you'll have Sugarbush Park and the Thurston Nature Center, an outdoor classroom created by students and neighbors in the 1960s.
What Orchard Hills is like
The neighborhood was built in the 1960s and 1970s, with ranch homes and two-story colonials. Some homes back up to a pond, residents can join the neighborhood pool in summer, and Thurston Elementary is within walking reach. For errands, the shops and restaurants along Plymouth Road are nearby.
When a home looks right, I walk through it with you on a FaceTime video call, room by room. Read more about how I help relocating buyers.
Learning the market before you arrive
I'll set you up on a search and ask you to watch it, so you see what's available in Orchard Hills and how quickly homes go under contract. I'll also show you recent sales of ranches and colonials, so you know what each costs.
