Great Value

Units vary greatly by price and niceness inside since each unit is owned by separate landlords. My place is definitely not the nicest of other Riverhouse units, but our rent is a good deal for the location, utilities included (gas, water, and heat), two parking spots, and AC (not the best AC, but did ok enough during the summer).

River House

Overall good, cheap for being close to the medical school. Each unit is owned by a different owner, so your experience will vary based on your landlord. Ours is pretty communicative, but we have had to deal with some maintenance issues which would probably be handled by management in a bigger complex. Not a deal breaker for the price we are paying.

Laundry machines are chronically broken, so you often need to walk to other buildings to do your laundry. Apartments come with 1 covered parking spot, you can pay $720 per year for a pass for a second unassigned, uncovered spot which has worked well for us so far.

Quality of appliances, etc also varies by unit. We have an updated kitchen but older bathroom + wall paint, etc. Walk from home to hospital entrance is about 10 minutes (all uphill), I usually ride my bike in 3-5 minutes.

The ideal place to live for Med School

I spent my first year commuting to Med School. The parking situation in A2 is wholly unsustainable and a significant source of stress.

Riverhouse is a fantastic place to live. Enough space to feel at home, with the convenience of being able to walk to the Hospital Campus.

The biggest hit is probably the frequency of power outages. It isnt too too common, but they may occur once or twice. Also, each individual unit is owned by a landlord, so you may or may not have well-maintained unit, but most are great!

Pretty good for location

Overall, my husband and I are happy we live here. So close to the hospital, about a 10 minute walk, and a very fast drive when I'm lazy and I have my husband drop me off. Every condo is different, but ours is more updated and has a washer and drier in the bathroom (others you have shared laundry that you have to pay for). We like living by the river and B2B trail, and get out for walks and bike rides often. Our landlords are responsive but have had some issues getting things fixed when they're broken (dishwasher and air conditioner). We wish we had a garage but it's okay for our state in life.

Great location, quality depends on owner

Riverhouse is great. My unit is pretty renovated, but I have noticed differences in unit quality depending on who owns the condo. Overall, I have had a great experience here!

Wonderful and quiet space to live in White Coat

My apartment has been great, and maintenance was reasonable with timeline for requests. The apartment is nice and renovated, but there is a lot of variability from condo to condo because each place is owned by a different landlord.

Riverhouse Condos (White Coat)

Riverhouse Condos are very spacious apartments. There are in various states of renovation/updates as they are each individually owned. Price generally reflects the amount of renovation that has been done to the unit. Gas (including heat) is included which helps with the cost. Parking spaces are sometimes included, sometimes not. There have been issues with power outages, short-term water shut-offs for construction. There is very little natural light in most units.

Great Value

Is it the nicest apartment to live in? No, but for what our rent is and for parking included, we can't beat it. The units in Riverhouse vary in condition, but usually are priced higher in the nicer places. We also very much appreciate that there is AC centralized. They are also owned by individual landlords, so your experience could depend on how responsive of a landlord you have. Our landlord is amazing and hires a great maintenance person. Our unit needed several repairs when we moved in, but they were fixed quickly over the course of several weeks.

Riverhouse

Good value for the price & one of the more affordable options with roommates. Units are very landlord-dependent so would recommend trying to see it in person if possible. Lots of space and storage but not a lot of natural light. Really quiet and close to parks + easy to drive out of Ann Arbor.

North Campus Reviews

If you want to be close to the hospital, then this is definitely the place for you! It is one of the more affordable areas that is within walking distance to the hospital and is close to many other medical students. There is a restaurant or two nearby, and the walk to Kerrytown (Farmer's market, small grocery store, etc.) is about 10-15 minutes. White coat is definitely a hike from the main downtown area.
It is quiet and removed from the downtown area, which can be a plus and a minus. I personally find it nice to be able to concentrate and study. It is also convenient to be living with many other med students in White Coat and be close to the medicals school building.
This apartment is about a 10 minute walk from the hospital/medical school, which is super convenient. There is a park nearby, which is great for running, walking dogs, and riding bikes. Also, it take about 15 minutes to get to Kerry town, the farmer’s market, etc.
North Campus is the place to be!! Lots of trails and nature for walking, NCRB gym nearby, grocery stores, gas, food, and more. Mostly graduate students up here so quieter but also within 10 min drive to downtown. There's always parking too.
Close access to running trails with a great neighborhood feel.
I enjoy being near the river and close to walking trails!
The neighborhood is quiet, safe, and well-maintained. There are tons of medical students around the white coat area, so it is easy to socialize and meet up with your peers. However, I wish there were more restaurant/cafe/store options nearby.
Very friendly, neighborly community. Very few undergraduate students are here, so the pace of life is generally more tame.
