Management pretty good, residents not

There was a huge delay, moving in due to renovations, which was very annoying. The management was pretty good about it. They gave me a place to stay and a month off of rent. The resident, however, being undergrads, steal my packages all the time. Its very frustrating because management doesn't/can't do anything about it. Otherwise, the commute is great and I love my apartment.

Terrible management, high rent, unsafe

I had an awful experience living here. The management company does not take complaints seriously, and does not respond to tenants. The rent is crazy high for these conditions. The hallway is full of bugs, dust, and trash; the vents have not been cleaned; the doors are broken; the laundry room is unusably dirty; and the maintenance workers can only provide temporary fixes for major issues. During winters, the cold seeps in through cracks in the walls and gaping window frames.

Pretty good, but might not be around for long

The unit is bi-level with one bedroom and bathroom upstairs. The kitchen is pretty small, but has a stove/oven, sink, and a decent amount of counter space. The rest of the first floor is wide open. I use it as a living room with two couches and a tv. There's also a closet by the front door. At the top of the stairs is another closet and a reading nook that is actually a pretty nice work space. The bedroom's only window is large and opens to a fire-escape.

731 Packard currently only has 8 1b1ba units, and I believe the company might be tearing them down to turn them into 2 4 bed apartments. I know they'll be around until at least May 2020.

Would not recommend Oxford, but unfortunately they own so much of Ann Arbor

I live in a basement apartment and I pay over $1000/month. The rent has gone up about $50 per month since I moved in about 2.5 years ago, with out improving anything in the apartment. Parking is outrageously expensive, $900/year. Although the doors to the building are "locked," packages are constantly being stolen. The property managers genuinely don't seem to care about the residents. I've had problems since moving in, but it is so close/convenient to the law school. There are 2 washers and 2 dryers in the basement that are always broken, so I have resorted to going to a laundromat since my second year living there. Location is ok, it's right by a bunch of frat houses and can get very loud/crazy during football season.

Good Apartment but "Meh" Building

I live in a 1 bed, 1 bath apartment near Packard and State. It's about a 3-5 minute walk to Ross and about a 10-15 minute walk downtown, so it's very easy to get places. While it is close to the undergrads/frats, noise isn't an issue.

Overall, the apartment has been good. It's between 700-800 sq feet, which is more than enough space for one person, and given that the rent is less than 1k, it is a good value. The apartment is two levels: the kitchen and main room are on the first level and the bedroom and bathroom are on the second level. Kind of weird, but it works.

There are a mix of grad students/MBAs and undergraduates who live in the building.

The biggest downsides are that the kitchen is very small and the building is old so the exterior hallway has an interesting odor (but that doesn't carry through to my apartment). Oxford isn't the most responsive or organized management company, but the maintenance crew is terrific - super responsive and very friendly.

Good location but not so good management

Apartment is 6 mins away walking distance. There are also few food options available, close to IM building, and a bus stop. However, Oxford company is not-so accomodating and rent will increase every year. Maintenance is very responsive and good but the washer/dryer breaks all the time. Giving it a good rate only because of convenience.

Close to campus

It's only a 6-7 minute walk from Ross and the apartment is decent. Rooms can be furnished or unfurnished for the same price, so it was easy when I moved from out of state.

Value for money

Based on the proximity to Ross, I feel it offers a no-frills experience. The place comes furnished with bar stools, couches and a twin bed and closet

I live right around the corner from Burns Park and Argus Farm Stop - I love these amenities! Last year, when I didn't have a car, I was not super fond of my neighborhood because it is residential and there are very few stores/restaurants nearby (besides Argus - which is GREAT). However, now that I have a car, I enjoy my neighborhood a lot more (plus there's always street parking right in my front of my apartment available). It's also only a 15 minute walk to the law school.
Very safe and secure neighborhood. There are a couple of frat houses across the street which get noisy only during the football games. Otherwise, excellent neighborhood and location.
Very convenient and typically lots of street parking for visitors. It is fairly frat- and sorority-heavy, so some occasional noise on football Saturdays.
It's a good location. It's about a 5 minute walk to Ross and a 10/15 walk Downtown. There are several take-out restaurants and bars in the area as well as a hardware store, so it's easy to run out and get things last-minute if needed. There are a fair number of undergrads/frats in the area and they can be noisy during weekend nights, but the building is positioned so that the noise is minimized.
There are several restaurants and the hardware store nearby which is very convenient. It's a close walk to Ross and not far from downtown. But, there are several frats in the area. The building is sheltered from the noise but you can still hear them from time to time.
Parts of this neighborhood are great and very close to Ross. Prices in this neighborhood are very reasonable. Do some research and see what parts of the neighborhood are predominantly undergrad party spots as you'll likely want to avoid those.
It's filled with undergrads, but close enough to burns park that is more adult friendly. Walkable to S university bars and restaurants for social time! Less than 5 min walk to ross which is excellent.
Pretty much only students, mostly undergraduates. There are a few restaurants, but there aren't very many bars. Really close to football/basketball/hockey games and the IM building
