Character

Ann Arbor Hills is defined by scale and greenery — lots of one to three acres, heavy tree canopy, and homes ranging from meticulously preserved mid-century ranches to architect-designed contemporary residences of 3,000 to 7,000 square feet. The neighborhood has no commercial strip and minimal through-traffic, creating a quiet enclave that feels semi-rural despite its proximity to campus and downtown. Residents tend to be senior faculty, physicians, executives, and Ann Arbor's most established professional families.

History

Ann Arbor Hills developed in the 1950s through 1970s as the University of Michigan's growth created demand for high-end residential development east of the existing city core. The neighborhood was designed to attract senior faculty and executives with large wooded lots and architecturally distinctive homes. It has maintained its prestige consistently across decades.
