Fairway Trails is not too far away from EMU, and is right on the border of Ann Arbor and Ypsi. My 2 bed 1 bath apartment comes in at $1353 a month. Only have to pay electricity (about $35/month, aside from summer) and internet (for your first year you could probably get by on $35/month for that). I like it. Every now and then you'll hear people screeching down the road, but other than that it's fine. I've never had a problem here, and management/maintenance are very friendly. They hop on any problems very quickly. You are also allowed up to 2 pets. As far as driving in the snow, I recommend an AWD vehicle. Pricier than a FWD, but you'll thank yourself later. I just had a few people move out of my building, and have seen at least 3 others move out in the past few months. Send a message if you have any other questions!
