Ann Arbor Reviews

Probably one of the most cleanest cities I've visited in Michigan. Very family friendly. Also, very lively and safe at night. Very diverse and has some of the best restaurants! You need to check out Taste Kitchen, Frita Batidos, Sava's, Aventura, and Slurping Turtle. You can visit the Michigan Stadium, Matthaei Botanical Gardens, and the Michigan Theatre. If you have children you can visit The Creature Conservancy, Leslie Science Center, Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum, Gallup Park, and Pinball Pete's. Visit the local Ann Arbor Farmers Market and enjoy organic and fresh produce. By far the best city in Michigan!

I love Ann Arbor! It's a lively city with a small-town feel. Having the University of Michigan down the street creates endless opportunities for concerts, events, and night life. The philanthropic scene is booming and small businesses are everywhere! Everyone here is happy and excited about life, passionate about this city and very environmentally-conscious and involved in the community. It is a truly wonderful place.
Ann Arbor is an absolutely great place to live or visit in your spare time. This beautiful college town has so much to offer, whether you're here for a UM visit (Go Blue!) or it's a pit stop on your way to Detroit! There are restaurants from almost every type of cuisine imaginable, all at different price points. There are parks spread throughout the city and trails where you'll find a steady stream of runners and walkers. There is a hustle and bustle here that strikes the perfect balance of busy but not overwhelming.
