More than a Retirement Community, University Commons, is a 21st Century approach to active adult living. Bordering the University of Michigan's North Campus in Ann Arbor, the villas, townhomes and apartment homes along with spacious common areas, blend into the natural setting of hardwood forest and wetlands. This unique community grew out of an interest in and commitment to life-long learning, a place that would attract interested and engaged people aged 55+. Shared facilities include class and meeting rooms, a fitness center, an area for performances and dining.
