Depot Town, Dining, and Local Attractions

Historic Depot Town is one of the real pleasures of living in Ypsilanti, with its nineteenth-century storefronts, independent restaurants, bars, and year-round events. The Ypsilanti Historical Museum sits nearby, and Wiard's Orchards on Merritt Road has been run by the same family since 1853, drawing crowds each fall for apple picking, hayrides, and the Orchard County Fair. Putterz Golf and Games and Rolling Hills Water Park handle family outings, and in Ann Arbor, the Hands-On Museum, Matthaei Botanical Gardens, and Domino's Petting Farm are all short drives.

Parks, Trails, and Outdoor Recreation

Ypsilanti is built around the Huron River, and the outdoor access shows it. The Border-to-Border Trail runs through the area for cycling and walking, connecting Riverside Park, Frog Island Park, and North Bay Park along the water. Ford Lake offers boating and fishing, and Gallup Park in Ann Arbor is a regional favorite. Golfers have Green Oaks and Pine View courses close by. Combined with the community’s own park-like grounds and bark park, residents comparing 48197 apartments for rent will find plenty of reasons to spend time outside.
