Anyone have advice with living (or not living) in Burns Park?

Hello, I'm moving to Ann Arbor in the Fall (mostly around late August) and I'm going to be securing my housing online. I live in Texas, so I can't actually see the places in person before I sign a lease...which sucks. But it's doable. Just remember that most leases for 2016-2017 year do not begin til 9/1. This is why I am trying to also look for temporary summer housing just for the month of August (*headaches*).

Anyone have advice on which neighborhoods to live in? I've heard good things about Old Westside & Kerrytown, what about Germantown? I'm currently eyeing a place in Germantown but I can't find much info on the neighborhood

Hi! Thanks @magnanimous so much for all the helpful info! So I'll be a grad student at UM starting Fall and I know orientation begins sometime in August. Although, a bunch of the leases don't begin until 9/1....what do we do?

Does anyone have a map of the areas & a list of landlords associated with each area? Sorry, I'm so lost on looking for apartments. It'll be my first time moving away from home. Coming from Texas .

Hello! I'm also planning on accepting an offer with the Survey Methodology program at UM. I'm coming from Texas, so I'm also a little worried about the weather, but I also think I can adjust Anyone already looking at apartments? I heard this is a time to start looking. I'm debating on whether I should get something walking distance (more expensive) or farther away & take the bus.
