Flourishing small city

This flourishing small city in southeastern Michigan offers attractions, activities, and adventures for just about anyone within its 28 square miles. A quintessential college town, Ann Arbor is home to the University of Michigan and is right next door to Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti. Ann Arbor is repeatedly recognized as one of America’s best places to live due to its lively restaurant scene, world-class arts and culture, walkable downtown, and proximity to metropolitan Detroit.
