Barton Hills is a wooded, riverfront village where everyday life feels closely tied to nature yet only minutes from Ann Arbor. Residents step onto the Border-to-Border Trail, accessed at the Huron River and the city’s Barton Nature Area, for miles of biking, running, or birding along the water. Kayakers and paddleboarders make the most of the Huron River Water Trail, while golfers and social butterflies find community at the historic Barton Hills Country Club. Tree-canopied streets, larger lots, and architect-designed homes create a rare sense of privacy without sacrificing convenience.
Families value the strong academic pipeline through Ann Arbor Public Schools, with acclaimed STEM, arts, and language programs, and proximity to the University of Michigan for lectures, museums, and major sporting events. Daily errands and dining are effortless, from the farmers market and boutiques in Kerrytown to theater and music downtown. Commuters appreciate quick connections across Washtenaw County and east toward Ypsilanti.
Local governance keeps the village feel intact, with services and updates from the Village of Barton Hills. Trails continue to expand via the Border-to-Border Trail, adding even more options for car-free outings. Whether you’re drawn by mid-century modern gems or contemporary estates tucked among oaks and maples, Barton Hills rewards buyers seeking serenity and access in equal measure.
