Hoover + Greene

Definitely pay for what you get, very quiet, clean, and close to the law school with an easy walk/easy bus stop.

Pricey but super nice - lots of grad students!

I really enjoy the modern touches of the appliances and throughout the building. Property manager and leasing agent are very nice! Only downside is that it’s hard to get out of the garage on game days.

Little far from campus but otherwise great

Overall, I've really enjoyed living at Hoover + Greene!

Pros: The building opened three years ago, so all of the amenities and apartment units are modern. The property manager is excellent, and any maintenance issues I've had have been resolved quickly. Most residents in the building are graduate students or young professionals in their late 20s or early 30s, so it's generally pretty quiet. I'm able to walk to campus within 10 minutes and it's just steps away from the Big House. Parking is an extra $200/month but it is assigned and in a heated garage with electric car chargers. Even the studios have two walk-in closets and plenty of storage. It's a very secure building and I've never felt unsafe.

Cons: The rent is very expensive and does not include utilities or cable. The leasing process requires you to get on a waitlist, and you'll likely have to have a guarantor sign your lease. The building is so close to the Big House that game days can be pretty wild -- the property manager does a great job of keeping the building pretty quiet, but the streets surrounding the building are shut down for a few hours and traffic is crazy.

For me, the pros outweigh the cons and I've loved living here.

Living here has been the best experience I have had renting, no matter what city living in. It is expensive, but you are definitely paying for what you get. Always clean, neighbors have never been a problem, walking distance to the law school/bus stops, very nice gym and pool that never gets too busy, community areas/study rooms are available, and the leasing office is always willing to solve any problem you have. This is also my first time, as a woman, living alone. I have never felt unsafe as the building is equipped with cameras, and multiple locks to get to any rooms.

Very nice property with good amenities and a great community, but definitely priced higher than other properties. I went with this because I was late to the admissions process and had limited options to choose from.

Great place to gather

+ solid walls / can't hear too much of neighbors
+ don't hear the train that crosses AA at all
+ nice common spaces that are rarely packed
+ gym is pretty nice, can get a solid workout done there, never crowded

- price is a rip-off
- heater / AC quite loud

Apartment itself is great - location is perfect for Business School students. Average resident appears to be grad school age. Management at the apartment isn't great but that's to be expected all over Ann Arbor.
