Local coverage
Project conversations across Washtenaw County and the Ann Arbor area.
Coverage depends on independent provider availability. Each page below covers housing and site context for that Ann Arbor-area community.
Ypsilanti
Ypsilanti's oldest blocks sit close along the Huron River, where basements and crawl spaces often meet a higher water table than homes set back from the water.
Local planning notes →Saline
Saline grew up around 1830s-40s mills on the Saline River, and its older core still sits closest to that same working waterway.
Local planning notes →Chelsea
Chelsea's oldest blocks grew up around an 1850s rail depot and 1891 stove works, on the same clay-heavy till found across the county.
Local planning notes →Dexter
Dexter was built around an 1824 dam on Mill Creek, and its older section still sits closest to that same waterway.
Local planning notes →Pittsfield Township
Pittsfield Township grew from 1820s farmland into Washtenaw County's third-largest community, with building eras ranging from early farmhouses to new subdivisions.
Local planning notes →Milan
Milan was founded in 1831 along the Saline River and still straddles the Washtenaw-Monroe county line.
Local planning notes →Manchester
Manchester grew up around an 1832 mill dam on the River Raisin, and its oldest homes still sit closest to that water.
Local planning notes →Whitmore Lake
Whitmore Lake grew from 1825 surveyor cabins into a lake community of former summer cottages now used year-round.
