My experience

It's been a good experience so far, as the units in this building are fully furnished and make it an easy moving experience.

Great Location!

This place is a solid deal for the location. It's a 5 minute walk to Ross and only about 15 min to downtown. Lots of bars and restaurants nearby. Apartment is moderately updated but nothing fancy. Management is very responsive on maintenance requests. Service is usually performed same day. We even got a new oven within one day after ours stopped working. Rent also includes one free parking space, which is rare for Ann Arbor.

Decent, but older

The building is less than 5 minutes from Ross and about 10-15 from downtown. The apartment is a good size but the kitchen is very small and the building is on the older side.

Affordable, basic, close to business school

Pros: In comparison with other properties it's affordable (comes to about $813 per person in 2016-17 year plus additional $50-100 for internet and electricity). It's extremely close to the business school (only a 5 minute walk) which is great for winter. Furnished and building is in decent condition.
Cons: Can be quite loud on weekends and evenings since there are undergrads and frat houses surrounding. Only two washers and dryers for the entire building and they are frequently broken. Hallway often smells like pot and there seems to be no insulation so the units get quite cold in the winter unless you are willing to pay to blast the heat.
Overall: Good for students who are budget-conscious and want to be near law school/business school, and are willing to put up with noise and some inconvenience.

Great Location, rundown building, responsive maintenance

Oxford manages several properties but doesn't have adequate manpower in their office. Getting anything administrative done takes a long time and several follow-up calls. However, the location to Ross is very good, even though the inside of the building is quite run down. I live in a 4 bdrm/2 bath with roommates. Two people share one bathroom. The kitchen is small, and the fridge is definitely too small. They could have placed a larger one in the space. There is no A/C on the first floor (which is a problem in the months of Aug-Sept (maybe Oct) but there are individual units upstairs in the 3 bedrooms. There is heat throughout, but it's electric. It comes with 1 parking spot, so 1 roommate pays more for a slightly larger room and parking spot. We have had several maintenance issues, but that staff is very responsive.

Functional and competent

It's close to school, not in a converted 1920's family home, and way more affordable than the brand new buildings. The landlord is usually good but occasionally hit or miss. Laundry could use some work. Big, comfy and quiet, at least by New York standards.

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
