About Ann Arbor

Regularly listed among the best places to live, Ann Arbor’s cosmopolitan ambiance is matched only by its classic, small town charm. Bisected by the Huron River, this rolling, tree-filled community is home to more than 100,000 people. In addition to those directly involved with the University, Ann Arbor residents are engaged in a variety of professional pursuits from medicine and pharmaceutical research to high-tech engineering, law, publishing and education. While one cannot think of Ann Arbor without also thinking of the University of Michigan, the city has cultivated its own a distinctive cultural scene that makes it a compelling destination for visitors throughout the year.

Music clubs and performing arts venues, restaurants and coffee houses, eclectic shops and a celebrated farmers’ market contribute to a lifestyle few cities can match. Excellent public and private schools and numerous public parks enhance its reputation as one of the nation’s best cities for families. Roughly 30 minutes from Detroit Metropolitan Airport, and surrounded by an impressive collection of global businesses, Ann Arbor offers easy access to the resources and services that define a world-class community.
