Kerrytown sublets near the University of Michigan.

Kerrytown is the cozy, walkable pocket north of downtown built around the Kerrytown Market & Shops and the Ann Arbor Farmers Market. It's a little more grown-up than the high-rise strips — historic houses, brick sidewalks, good coffee, and the Saturday market.

Housing here is mostly older homes and smaller apartment buildings, so subletting often means a room in a house or a unit in a converted building. It's a short walk to both downtown and Central Campus, which makes it a quietly great location that doesn't feel like a dorm zone.
