River House Condo Rental

Riverhouse condos fall just over the line onto the nice side of the "white coat neighborhood". They are hit or miss because they are privately owned and rented, therefore the amenities (dishwasher/washer/dryer) as well as the "niceness" of the apartment varies. Our individual unit has some problems with the heat and being too hot as well as some humidity problems. I assume this is unit to unit as I have not heard this in other units. Additionally, any unit maintenance is reliant on your owner for the most part. Additionally, payments can be electronic or in some cases by mail which is a hassle (owner dependent).

One parking spot comes with the apartment, another spot is a scramble (1-2 days) to see who can get the application in for an additional space as they always run out.

Pool is the nicer pool in white coat neighborhood and is pretty well kept up and nice to use during the warmer months.

12-15 min walk to the hospital.

New management (slowly) improving property

I've been living here since 2016 and think the place is a great deal, considering the price. I'm in a relatively unrenovated unit, but it's in mostly good condition.

The property manager (new as of 2018) isn't amazing, but they've been making steady improvements and have been handling maintenance at a reasonable rate. However, they only deal with issues outside your apartment - your individual condo owner deals with internal stuff, so be sure they're responsive before renting, as these buildings are pretty old.

Amenities = balcony/porch, outdoor pool, chip-card laundry (outdoor access), locked bike sheds, visitor parking. Some units come with covered parking spaces.

Really like it here

I really like the apartment that we are in. It is nice with hardwood floors. There is also a pool which is nice in the warmer months. These are condos so every landlord is different and every unit is slightly different. Noise isn't a problem. The complex is a mix between grad/medical students and older adults/retired people. I have had problems with Michigan Condominium Management. I have called when there have been problems on the weekend when they have people "on-call" and they are not helpful at all. They answered the phone calls and each time it seemed like it was a chore to answer the call.

Socially, if you have friends in the complex it is very convenient to walk over to their apartment, however it is an Uber away to any bars or social scene.

Great place for medical students

This is a great location for medical students because it's right across from the hospital and med school buildings. A lot of med students live here. The rooms are relatively small but the living spaces (dining room, living room) are pretty big. We have hardwood floors which are great but each condo is owned individually so that may not be the case in every apartment. It's a pretty quiet neighborhood filled with students and professionals (haven't seen many families with children here).

Quiet, cozy condo

Each condo is individually owned, so the upkeep in each unit can be variable. The wood floors and porch in each unit are beautiful. The central pools is a great way to meet neighbors. I love the location by the park and near the hospital.

Quiet condo, good location

- 15-20 minute walk to the UM med school and hospital, also walking distance to many bus lines
- Across the street from the river with lots of wildlife around
- Generally quiet and always the right temperature (window A/C unit rarely needs to be used in the summer)
- The owner of our condo is fair and responsive, and maintenance people are friendly and helpful
- Big closets in both bedrooms and in the bathroom

Affordable and convenient for medical students

Well maintained condo and surrounding complex (except pool was closed for >50% of summer 2016 while remodeling was put on hold). 15 minute walk from door to Medical School lecture halls or 20 minutes to most areas in the hospital. In community of lots of medical students. Never any safety concerns or issues with neighbors.

Great location and easy place to live when starting med school

This condo complex (Riverhouse Condos) was a great starter location when moving to Ann Arbor and starting medical school. It is only a ten minute walk to the medical school, and many of your classmates also live in that complex and the general white coat area. The condo is managed by a large realty practice in Ann Arbor, and are generally quite responsive when issues arise. There was a good amount of space for two medical students, though there are no storage closets or places to keep miscellaneous items. The neighbors in the building are lovely and were fun to get to know. The complex also has a pool. The price was a bit high for the surrounding area, but the inclusion of all utilities was a big perk given the summer heat and winter cold in Michigan. All in all, given the location, the price was worth it. There is lots of natural light and all windows have views of the park and river. The condo comes with one parking spot included (covered) and you can rent another parking spot for $600 per year. In sum, this is a great place to start out your medical school career and you can decide whether to stay or move elsewhere once you're more familiar with your classmates and the surrounding area.

Riverhouse Condos

We have really enjoyed living here because it is an ideal location--close to the hospital, kerrytown, and downtown. We overlook the Huron River and Island Drive Park which has excellent bike and running paths. This condo feels quiet and peaceful surrounded by nature even though it is in the heart of the city. We have excellent landlords and love our spacious condo! These units were built in the 1960s and vary in updates. We are fortunate to have a very updated unit.

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.
