Way OT-Dog friendly apartments near campus?
If this is not acceptable as an MGoBlog forum topic, I apologize! Please let me know where else I could direct this question.
I'm searching for an apartment/townhouse/houseroom close to the UMich's central campus (within 2 miles) that would allow a dog. Does anyone have any recommendations/places they know of? Any place in walking distance to central campus would certainly be fantastic. I've already checked many apartment finder websites/Craigslist, but I feel like I'm not receiving the entire picture---after going to school here, I am confident there are more dog-friendly, nearby places than the apartment finder websites are showing.
Thanks in advance! Help a fellow Wolverine out!
I know on John Street just by the lumber yard there's an apartment complex that allows dogs.
Old Town Realty
Wow...you shouldn't talk about your girlfriend like that.
You saw right through me.
I had a dog near campus while renting from Issa properties and old town realty in the past. I also know of a place on Ventura ct that allows dogs if that's not too far for you.
Ventura Court would be within my distance range. Do you know the name of the place/address? Thanks!
It's just the upper half of the duplex of a friend of mine, but I can't find the listing online. It's also a lot bigger than a studio/1BR--I think 3BR--so I'm not going to keep trying unless you're interested in a bigger place, too.
Depending on your room mate/cash flow situation, there should be a host of smaller houses that allow dogs. In-house laundry and off-street parking are a huge plus in my book.
As far as apartments go, I remember walking by a lab that would always poke its head out of the third story apartment near the Church and Hill street intersection.
Apparently my desperation is somehow greater than my love for michigan sports because I'm just making an account now after following this blog for forever. what kind of dog do you have? We have a female German shepherd and can't find a place in AA after looking for a few weeks now. Any help would be fantastic.
Where in Ann Arbor? This is the trickiest time of year to be looking for immediate housing in the campus area.
Killing it with that avatar too! I'll let you know if I find anything good! I'm actually planning on getting a new puppy so I'm still between a few options.
woodland mews at the corner of aa saline and eisenhower are dog friendly, we have 2 large dogs. Its only 1 bus to downtown also, the 16 picks up right in from of the apts, and its close to 94. they have townhouses and apts
Hey that's where I live!!!
I also have a golden retriever.
Do they have any studio apartments or 1 BR there?
I'm not sure. I think they have 1 bedroom.
in the main complex part or the little townhouse part behind whole foods? I like the townhouse part but parking is kind shitty and there are loud kids always running around
In the townhouse part. Probably my kids running around. Sorry.
For as much as McKinley sucks, most of their apartment complexes allow dogs for an additional monthly fee. They would all be pushing "walking distance to campus," though there are a few that are close to the main street area. Manchester West, Manchester Flats are both east of Stadium Blvd and would be a 20-30 minute walk to downtown. Probably 2 miles to the diag. And they have another bigger complex on Pauline just west of Stadium Blvd. That would not be walking distance in my book, but a nice bike ride through one of the nicest parts of Ann Arbor.
Is that thing taking steroids?
Leonberger can hit 170 pounds. I have only seen one, and it was a smaller male, somewhere in the 130 pound range. When it's time for a walk, I think they call you and take you for a walk.
Not a perfect match, but there's also Hidden Valley Club apartments which are near the south state street commuter lot. It's about 2 miles from there to central campus. The 36 bus, which generally runs every 10-15 mins, picks up at that lot and goes directly to central campus. They definitely have 1BR, not sure about studios. Also, they aren't very fancy.
an OT-Dog, or a Way OT-Dog?
Online. It's called Google. I'm being a dick, but seriously this is a sports blog.
I mentioned that I already tried multiple online sources and that I apologize if the topic is inappropriate for this site. Additionally, I think many users here would agree that this website is more than a sports blog.
During the offseason, MGoBlog is sort of a cross between a sports blog and Angie's List. With a dash of "What Are You Drinking?"
The more I drink the more I like Angie
McKinley isn't the best but they are big enough that if they weren't dog friendly they would loose a lot of potential customers. Yeah the monthly fee is something to grumble about, but it's par for the course unless you find the rare homeowner renting out couple rooms who is dog friendly. I personally live on the north side in a McKinley complex and it's a nice walk to north campus and a short bike ride to central campus/downtown.
As an aside you are about four months late on the apartment search for something as close as you desire to campus. The market is driven by the student population and as such most people like to lock in the following year's lease before they go do things over the summer.
You can have my basement. I'm within a mile
Cheap rent and decent location with the bus stop right there. Plus the occasional student-athlete neighbor; Junior Hemingway and Darryl Stonum lived in my building for a few years...
