Like all of the modern housing options in Ann Arbor (e.g., The Yard, Hoover & Green, etc.), 618 is overpriced--I'm paying more here than I did in Manhattan. That being said, the apartments are very high quality, and I plan to renew my lease for next year. What I mean by high quality: great management, thick walls that seem to be 100% soundproof, good amenities (pool, gym, common areas, etc.), good location close to all the action, and so on.

Don't have time for this review, how does it help prospective students???

I chose this apartment primarily for its location. It is a 10-minute walk from the law quad. The management has been very responsive to concerns, and the apartment and building are generally great!

It is pricier on rent, but it's worth it to live in such a nice place. The location is great for the law school (15 minute walk) and you're right down Main St. from all of the restaurants and such. There is a gym, business center, fire pit area, and a pool as well as a community room with a free coffee machine. Newer building so all of the design and appliances are very modern. Staff is incredibly friendly and helpful.

618 may be pricey, but it has been worth every penny, especially since we've had to be inside more during COVID. The Management is great, the amenities are unparalleled, and it's a building for grownups rather than a dorm (cough cough, Yard).

Best place to live if you want a quiet, amenity building

Very nice building with only graduate students and working professionals

Very safe building, full of MBAs. It is also close to the Yard and Hill Street, where many other MBAs live. Only issue with the building is the cell reception is not great.

Last year we lived in Foundry, which was more expensive for less space. That place was poorly run and filled with undergrads. We moved to 618 S Main since some friends lived in the building. It's predominantly grad students, professionally run, and not at all stressful to live in. And it has the best dogs in town. Plus, we have a view of the Big House.

While the rent is insanely high, especially for this small town (for those of us who come from big coastal cities), it's honestly one of the best options. They have a clubhouse, complementary coffee machine that makes all kinds of flavored lattes, complementary donuts every Friday, a gym, underground garage, 3 outdoor firepits with big cushioned seating, a decently sized pool/spa combo with lounge chairs outdoors in the warmer months, a conference, a printer/scanner with 10 free b&w prints per month, and a lending library with books for leisure reading. I live in a 600+ sq ft studio which is really large. I will say the windows aren't the most insulated as many resident units are still chilly even with the heater on.
