SELLING GUIDE →WHY YPSILANTI?
A historic city with a character all its own.
Ypsilanti is a historic Washtenaw County city east of Ann Arbor, home to Eastern Michigan University, Downtown Ypsilanti and Depot Town. The city combines established residential neighborhoods, historic architecture, local restaurants and businesses, and extensive recreation along the Huron River and Border-to-Border Trail.
Ypsilanti brings together historic neighborhoods, university life, local businesses and a strong connection to the Huron River. Downtown and Depot Town form two distinct commercial districts, while residential areas extend from established neighborhoods near Eastern Michigan University to the city's historic east side and beyond.
For home buyers, that creates considerable variety within a relatively compact city. Location matters here: different parts of Ypsilanti can offer very different housing, architecture, surroundings and connections to downtown, EMU, parks and major routes.

HISTORY
A city shaped by transportation, industry and the Huron River
Ypsilanti's history is closely tied to transportation, industry and the Huron River. Rail, automotive development and other industries played important roles in the city's growth, while many surviving buildings and neighborhoods reflect different periods of that history.
The river has also played a particularly interesting role in Ypsilanti's development. In 1913, the Olmsted Brothers were commissioned to advise the city on its growth and advocated creating public green space and pathways along the Huron River. Elements of that vision were implemented and remain visible in Ypsilanti's riverfront park system today.
