Learn the Ann Arbor area before you look at homes, so you can choose the right place from a distance.
Relocating to Ypsilanti
If you're relocating to Ypsilanti, you may be coming for a job at Eastern Michigan University, or you may work in Ann Arbor and want a lower price point just to the east. Either way, the neighborhoods matter, and they vary street by street.
We'll start with a phone call or a Zoom meeting about your job, your timeline, and what you want in a home.
Ypsilanti, explained
Depot Town is Ypsilanti's downtown-style district, with restaurants close together. Frog Island Park sits on the Huron River and hosts gatherings in summer. Eastern Michigan University is close to many neighborhoods.
College Heights and Normal Park are popular neighborhoods near the university with good resale. Near campus, some streets mix in college rentals before turning into single-family blocks, so I'll walk you through which streets are which.
Seeing Ypsilanti homes from far away
I'll set you up on a search and ask you to watch it, so you can see what's available and how quickly homes go under contract.
When a home looks right, I walk through it with you on a FaceTime video call, room by room, and I'll show you the street around it too. Read more about how I help relocating buyers.
