<p>I just graduated and will be working at UM. I would like to live in ypsi, (cheaper rent) but I don’t have a car, so I was not sure if I should live that far from UM. How long would you say a bus ride from ypsi to um would be? Is Ypsi more dangerous or severely impoverished compared to ann arbor?</p>
<p>Have you thought about living with roommates in Ann Arbor to save on housing costs?</p>
<p>I don’t know much about Ypsi (I bypass it on my commute), but I think the AATA is definitely easier to navigate if you live within the Ann Arbor city limits. A car is almost a necessity in Michigan.</p>
<p>Go to the AATA website. There are buses that link A2 to Ypsi and should take less than 30 minutes for travel even in the busiest times. Also, Ypsi as a whole is not as safe as A2. However, there are plenty of apartments along Washtenaw Ave. between A2 and Ypsi that are right along the bus line. Ypsi as a whole is not wonderful, but it is not severely impoverished.</p>
<p>Where does ypsi start and ann arbor end?</p>
<p>I personally consider anything east of US-23 and south of Clark Street to be part of Ypsilanti.</p>
<p>Ann Arbor borders west of US-23, south of M-14, and north of I-94.</p>
<p>I believe that the AA-Ypsi border is Carpenter Rd.</p>
<p>They don’t actually touch–you know how the street signs turn from green to blue, when you’re on Washtenaw avenue (or south of there?) That’s Pittsfield township. Trivia for the day!</p>
<p>You can save money living in Ypsi. If you were a student I’d be worried about the issues with being (essentially) a “commuter” student, but since you’re working for the U it’s a different matter. I would make living close to the busline a high priority.</p>
<p>With all these new apartment buildings coming online, I have to believe the rental market in AA is going to become more of a renters market. I wouldn’t rule out finding a deal in the city, or right outside.</p>
<p>Public transportation is very difficult to go from Ypsi to AA I think, I don’t know compeletly</p>
<p>^</p>
<p>Since both are within Detroit metro, I would be surprise if public transportation is difficult, may be mild.</p>
<p>Coolbrezze, public transportation is practically non-existent in the Detroit Metro area. Ann Arbor is really the only town with a decent bus system.</p>
<p>Coolbreeze. Another example of why Detroit and Ann Arbor are not in the same metro areas. They have totally separate bus systems.</p>
<p>Coolbreeze, Ann Arbor is definitely not within Detroit, nor is it even close to the public bus system. Ann Arbor is a good 20-30 min away driving. Ann Arbor is a whole different city that is very different from detroit</p>
<p>Wow. They told you Coolbreeze lol. Thanks for all your replies everyone.</p>
