## Character

        

Orchard Hills has the comfortable, well-maintained character of a well-established mid-century subdivision — ranch homes and split-levels on modest lots with mature tree canopy, quiet dead-end streets, and a low-key residential community. The neighborhood lacks commercial amenities within walking distance but is close to the Dexter Road corridor and provides good freeway access for Ann Arbor commuters.

      
    
    
          
        

## History

        

Orchard Hills was developed in the 1960s as Ann Arbor expanded northwest, part of the post-war suburban growth that extended the city into the rolling terrain above the Huron River. The neighborhood's winding street design reflects planning conventions of its era.
