“Moved into Oakcliff recently, and I have had a very positive experience thus far. Would definitely recommend Oakcliff to others. Looking forward to living here.
- Matthew from leasing team coordinated my application and helped me view available units/floorplans despite me not being able to visit Ann Arbor for a tour. Very smooth process overall with seeing videos of available units, application, and preparation for move-in.
- Move-in itself was very easy. I really appreciate the private garage which made it easy to unload UHaul. Tons of extra storage space in the garage which is great.
- I had a couple of minor maintenance requests on move-in, and Justin/Amanda were great in helping resolve these. They worked quickly to help me get these fixed and communicated their progress to me via the resident app.
- community amenities are a huge perk. I really appreciate the business center (with free printing!), nice clubhouse spaces, and pool/hot tub.
- close to hospital and lots of food options. Kroger nearby is nice. Overall quieter community than other areas I’ve lived in previously.”
“Such an easy move in process! The team was responsive and able to accommodate us for a move in date of the next day! We are already impressed with the community and amenities. Great location.”
“Cozy place with furnished flats. Management is very helpful and organises monthly breakfasts. Management celebrates various festivals and hosts delicious dinners”
“We really appreciate our time at Haven - it is such a beautiful and peaceful place for family to live. We in particular appreciate Jeff, who is so friendly all the time in helping us with home maintenance issues. He also went beyond in sending us mails that arrived after we moved out. The interactions with him have always been a pleasure. He made things so much easier for us.”
“Erik and Kevin two amazing employees went out of their way to help me whenever I needed it, whenever I had a question they answered it immediately, as well as when I was locked out of my room they came up to unlock it for me.”
“Older townhouses, a few 1 bdrm 1-floor units. I've lived here over 20 years. Most of the people I know here are good humans and help each other when someone needs it. I have enjoyed living here.”
“This apartment complex is close to the University of Michigan…the staff is very professional and friendly….it has a very peaceful ambiance with large growth trees and areas with picnic tables for grilling out….there is plenty of parking available….the apartments are renovated and spacious….A good place to call home!!!!”

“I haven’t moved in yet, not until August 2025, however the whole leasing process was so easy and I am so excited to move in. I had a great tour of the complex and can’t wait to study in the rooftop lounge.”
“Living at the Varsity for the past three years, I can confidently say this is the place to live. It is off campus, but still close to state street and Kerrytown. The staff is amazing and goes above and beyond to accommodate their residents and respond in a timely manner. Trinity and Samantha specifically are amazing staff members! The amenities are such a nice feature and the gym is definitely the best “in apartment” gym I’ve seen off campus. I cannot recommend living here enough!”
“I moved in with my wife in August of 2023. When we first moved here, the property was managed by the Hayman company. It was terrible. Piercingly loud fire alarms went off late at night on a monthly basis. I couldn't get access to the butterfly app to remotely open doors after repeatedly asking for access. Mail rooms were overflowing with packages as were the trash rooms. It was chaoticly managed.
In December of 2023, a new management company took over. The difference was night and day. This new management company, Friedeman company (sp?), made a huge difference. There was one fire alarm that went off in January due to a pipe burst, i guess, and they immediately resolved the issue. We haven't heard it since. The package room is cleared up. The trash room is clean. Their communication is clear.
We were actually warned about the new management company by the old one. We were a little worried that things would get worse but that warning was completely unwarranted. Our experience got better not worse. The old management company suggested moving to another property that they managed, and we are happy that we stayed.”
“Been living here since 2021. After hearing reviews of other apartments, I just want to say that Spice Tree is one of the best living space out here. It’s reasonably priced, all issues are fixed immediately, friendly neighborhood and overall a safe place to live. Highly recommend!”
“This place made looking for an apartment so easy. My tour guide Jamari did a great job showing me around and provided a good vibe by serving with a smile so I appreciated him for that”
“I am entering my 7th year living at Briar Cove. Each year, before renewal, I check out the surrounding areas for suitable housing and possible relocation. Consistently, I choose to renew my lease here at Briar Cove. Thank you leasing staff and maintenance staff for all you do.”
“It's been like crazy nice till now, only hear good things from people, amenities are great, location is great(bursley bus stop, ncrb and food all within walking), overall great experience.”

“Signing a lease with the Yard was such a good decision! Not a bad location, great pricing, amazing facilities, and the staff I’ve interacted with have all been very nice. One thing I will say is emails may not be the best way to reach them if you have questions as it take a while for them to get back, but I do recommend calling. Overall, I’m very excited to live here next year!!”
“I have loved living here! The apartments are updated and are in a great location. The bus route takes you right up to UM, and the bus comes about every 15 minutes, so you don’t need to worry about parking. Never had to worry about parking at the apartment complex either. The community is always clean and quiet, and any maintenance requests are fixed ASAP. Any time I need something fixed, it is done in less than 24 hours! The Ponds backs up to a nice neighborhood that is great to walk in too. There are events hosted at the clubhouse and the pool is open in the summer time.
The folks in the office as also so great to work with. They helped my roommate and I out with some difficulties with our lease, and they took it upon themselves to contact the property management to advocate for us. It made the process for us so smooth!
Overall, this place has been an excellent place to live, and I would recommend it to anyone!”
