Ann-Arbor is definitely on my list. This is helpful for my research, thank you.

[@TRULIVINGMICHIGAN]

Absolutely!! Any questions reach out 👍☺️

The “outdoor activities” section contains footage of downtown Brighton, MI not Ann Arbor. Brighton is about 20-30mins north.

[@TRULIVINGMICHIGAN]

You're correct. We use broll for context to the topic we are talking about. Thanks for watching!

[@IsaiahGrassMusic]

If anyone watching this video is familiar with Lakeview in Chicago and can tell them what would the comparison neighborhood in AnnHarbor, I would be grateful. THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO Eric

[@TRULIVINGMICHIGAN]

Hey 👋 there. It’s really hard to compare a larger downtown area like Chicago to Ann Arbor. From what I know of Lake View, it’s townhomes and condos. Ann Arbor has a variety of townhomes and condo through the city. Kerry town is a great area and lower Water Hill and Old West side have some options as well. Reach out if you need anything!

[@babanzarah7488]

Thank you for this video. Pls what about safety, how safe is Ann Arbor?

My home town. Always loved it except hs, and the stadium crowds..lol

[@TRULIVINGMICHIGAN]

I lived near the stadium and would plan my exit weeks ahead of game time if we had somewhere to go that day.

[@user-ho4nw5sf3w]

It's close to Jackson State Pen.

[@TRULIVINGMICHIGAN]

It's 40 min away in Jackson, MI.

[@emmybelsole686]

Great video! What is it like in the dead of winter? Are people still out and about? I’ve visited a few times but don’t know what it’s like to be there at that time.

[@TRULIVINGMICHIGAN]

There are a lot of things to do in the winter to keep active. There’s still some really cold day but for the most part people are on the go still.

[@TakenTook]

Part of the problem with Ann Arbor is that it is fairly hilly with sloping streets and sidewalks, and in the university areas in particular they only seem to use sand on the sidewalks, because they view road salt as damaging. But sand is not anywhere near as helpful as salt on icy streets and sidewalks, because it only provides a tiny bit of traction, and does almost nothing to melt ice. So be very careful walking around in A2 in the winter, and make sure you have a good pair of boots.

[@Chula-LunaDelMar]

Can you provide a list of the surrounding areas that are safe and affordable? Please.

[@TRULIVINGMICHIGAN]

All of the surrounding areas of Ann Arbor would be on my list. With some many options you’d really need to focus in on what exactly your looking for. Message me and id be happy to help.

[@theaviary238]

Love bike lanes.

[@TRULIVINGMICHIGAN]

They take some getting used to when driving, but will be great for the city.

[@fefefreitasreis]

Hello, do you know of I can find some park with a space to play “beach tennis” ?

[@TRULIVINGMICHIGAN]

That's a great question. Do you need a special court for it or net?

[@repurposedart9897]

Yeah ridiculous 1.75% property taxes. With a home at $700,000 you will be paying a little over a $1000 a month plus home insurance after you pay off your home.

[@TRULIVINGMICHIGAN]

Ann Arbor does have some of the highest taxes. Thankfully the surrounding area is a great alternative to be close but not in the city.

[@zayn7329]

Is 1700$ a month enough to live there?

[@TRULIVINGMICHIGAN]

You could def find a place for that amount.👍

[@zayn7329]

A Big Con is you freeze you ass off for 8 months of each year.

[@TRULIVINGMICHIGAN]

It does get cold!

[@mf-db6nm]

this helps scare some of the riffraff away. take the cold away it wouldn’t be as safe and real estate would be double

[@windowdancercymbals8246]

You repeated yourself for almost 10 min. before getting into the content. But otherwise a decent video thanks.

[@TRULIVINGMICHIGAN]

Hahaha 🤣 I try!

[@areefareef7675]

Are halal food hard to find? Are there any muslim there?

[@TRULIVINGMICHIGAN]

Ann Arbor is very diverse! There are many places to find Hala food in and around Ann Arbor.

[@dontneednomanstoptelllingm8481]

Yes I met some

[@carlaschultheis3662]

I’m paying 9,000 a year for a 1,500 square foot house. How much are the average property taxes?

[@Pistolita221]

@@carlaschultheis3662 depends on where in ann arbor you want to live, but that sounds about right for ann arbor if you're in a neighborhood.

[@wickintime2203]

You forgot con- the well that feeds ann arbor is contaminated.

[@TRULIVINGMICHIGAN]

Can you be more specific about what you are referring to as contaminated?

[@TakenTook]

If you want to live near Ann Arbor, but have your municipal water supply come from the (so far) very safe and reliable Detroit water dept/ Great Lakes Water Authority, instead of from the Huron river, then you want to live in Ypsilanti, Pittsfield Township, or Superior Township

[@wickintime2203]

@TakenTook no - you're wrong. 85% or our water supply comes from Huron River with 15% coming from local wells. So, Ann Arbor water isn't the best and getting worse.

[@TakenTook]

@@wickintime2203 -- Which is why I specifically said, Ypsi, Pittsfield, and Superior - which are on Detroit water, not Ann Arbor water. Go back and read my comment again. I said if people want to live NEAR Ann Arbor but not have that Huron river water. I did not say IN Ann Arbor

[@TakenTook]

@@wickintime2203 -- hyperlinks sometimes get deleted, so I'm going to post a hyperlink in a separate comment. But it will have the great lakes water authority map. You'll see that Ypsi, Superior Township, and Pittsfield Township have Detroit water from GLWA. You'll also notice on the GLWA map that Ann Arbor is **not** on GLWA water. So you and I actually **agree** about Ann Arbor water being bad.
