Water Hill

Located northwest of downtown Ann Arbor, Water Hill is a historically rich blend of classic architecture and modern living. Its perimeter stretches from Miller Ave (south) to Sunset Rd (north) and is made up of several mini neighborhoods with beautiful tree-lined streets, most with sidewalks. It features colonial-style homes, cape cods, and bungalows (built from the 1850s-1960s), to more contemporary-style homes with modern, artistic details. Floor plans range from 580-3600 sq. ft., most having garages and basements. Water Hill is nestled next to parks like the Bluffs Nature Area, Kuebler Langford Nature Area, and Argo Nature Area, where water enthusiasts can enjoy canoeing, kayaking, and rafting along the Huron River. To the southeast is Kerrytown, where residents and visitors alike can take a stroll around the Ann Arbor Farmers Market, enjoy a meal at Gandy Dancer or Zingerman’s Delicatessen, or check out the University of Michigan Museum of Art. Hotels and bed and breakfasts are sprinkled throughout Kerrytown for hosting company or enjoying a relaxing staycation. The University of Michigan Hospital is located less than 2 miles from Water Hill, and the neighborhood is assigned to a district with several highly rated schools including Bach Elementary, Wines Elementary (Upper Water Hill), Forsythe Middle School, Slauson Middle School, and Skyline High School.  

Whether you enjoy spending time in nature or have a love for the arts, Water Hill is an eclectic epicenter for both.
