Burns Park is the kind of neighborhood where people fall in love at first sight. Located just south of downtown Ann Arbor, it's a place where stately old homes line tree-shaded streets, children play in front yards, and neighbors actually know each other by name.
History and Character
Developed primarily in the early 1900s, Burns Park is named for its central park space, which includes a playground, sports fields, and the beloved Burns Park Pump. The neighborhood's homes reflect the craftsmanship of their era, with Craftsman bungalows, Colonials, and Tudor-style houses creating a streetscape that feels both elegant and welcoming.
Walkability
One of Burns Park's greatest assets is its location. You're within easy walking distance of downtown Ann Arbor, the University of Michigan campus, and some of the city's best restaurants and shops. The tree-lined sidewalks make every walk feel like a stroll through a living postcard.
Community
Burns Park residents are fiercely loyal to their neighborhood. Block parties, holiday gatherings, and the annual Burns Park Run keep the community tight-knit. There's a genuine pride of ownership here that you can feel the moment you arrive.
