LOCATION
March 18, 2021The best location and views in Ann Arbor. I always feel safe and comfortable in and around the building. Maintenance is always dealt with quickly. My only issue was been with a few unhelpful staff members. In the beginning of this year there was some issues with packages being left by the elevator rather than by your door and I struggled getting resources about a difficult roommate, but otherwise I have greatly enjoyed my experience. -Elizabeth H.Property Manager Responded

Amazing staff!
March 11, 2021Living in Arbor Blu has been amazing. When moving in, we had some issues that needed to be attended to or fixed, but Arbor Blu quickly responded and fixed all our issues and more. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, and any maintenance issues we have are fixed extremely quickly.
