Character

Glacier Highlands attracts U-M engineering faculty, tech professionals from the Plymouth Road corridor, and buyers who want North Campus proximity in a quiet, wooded subdivision setting. The homes are larger and sit on more generously sized lots than inner-city neighborhoods, with a character that leans toward established professional rather than historic or artsy.

History

Glacier Highlands was developed in the 1960s in response to the growth of U-M's North Campus — the engineering and sciences campus that expanded significantly in that decade. The subdivision was designed to attract faculty and professional residents working on the north side of Ann Arbor and near the Plymouth Road research corridor.
