Moving to Ypsilanti, MI

Ypsilanti: eclectic, affordable, full of character.

~15 mineast of Ann Arbor
~20,000people
EMUhome of Eastern Michigan University

Ypsilanti, Ypsi to everyone who lives here, is about 15 minutes east of Ann Arbor and a world of its own. Around 20,000 people, home to Eastern Michigan University, and one of the most architecturally interesting downtowns in the region. Depot Town's brick streets and 19th-century buildings are the real thing, not a recreation.

It's the most affordable city in the area, which is a big part of its draw: historic homes, creative energy, and a food and music scene that punches above its weight. The range of housing means there's something for just about every budget.

Ypsi isn't trying to be Ann Arbor, and that's the point. If you want character, value, and a community with strong opinions about itself, come take a look.

Thinking about Ypsilanti? Let's talk. I'll show you what it actually feels like to live here.
