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.
