Vernon Downs

Vernon Downs is located just a few minutes from downtown Ann Arbor and is considered one of the city’s most coveted communities with its well-built houses that showcase the era’s vintage charm. Homes were built in the mid 1950’s to early 1960’s and are mostly brick ranches with a few 2-3 story builds that range from 1,000-2,000 sq. ft. with 2-5 bedrooms and 1-3.5 baths.They feature hardwood floors, fireplaces, and finished basements with many also having detached garages and fenced-in yards great for family gatherings on the patio or for starting your own flower or vegetable garden. The neighborhood is safe, beautiful, and the epicenter of peace and quiet with its mature, tree-lined sidewalks so you can head out and enjoy a stroll anytime you need some exercise and fresh air. Vernon Downs has quick access to I-94, the University of Michigan campus, shopping at Briarwood Mall, and various dining establishments. If you’re looking to spend time in the great outdoors, there are also several nearby parks like Las Vegas Park, Dicken Woods Nature Area, and Mushroom Park. Students will be zoned to Dicken Elementary School, Slauson Middle School, and Pioneer High School, all of which are within walking distance from the neighborhood. Vernon Downs could be just the neighborhood for you if you love nostalgia and classic American builds.
