Garden Homes
A favorite on the northwest side of Ann Arbor, Garden Homes blends quiet residential streets with easy access to some of the city’s best everyday amenities. The neighborhood’s namesake green space, Garden Homes Park, invites relaxed afternoons on the playground and open lawns, while nearby Veterans Memorial Park delivers four-season fun, from summer laps at the outdoor pool to winter skating at the ice arena. The Westgate Branch of the Ann Arbor District Library adds a convenient cultural hub with classes, study space, and an always-busy kids’ area, and TheRide makes commuting and quick trips across town straightforward.
Families appreciate the strong local school options through Ann Arbor Public Schools. Many homes here are served by Abbot Elementary and Skyline High School; as attendance areas can change, it’s wise to confirm zoning with the district. Parks and natural areas lace the surroundings, offering short hops to trails, ballfields, and picnic spots, and everyday errands are simplified by nearby groceries, cafes, and services along Maple and Jackson.
Housing in Garden Homes ranges from classic mid-century ranches to tidy bungalows on roomy lots, appealing to first-time buyers and long-term residents alike.
