Angell

Housing around Angell School shades from fraternities near campus to increasingly expensive homes to the north and east. Bordering on the thousand-acre Nichols Arboretum, a wooded natural area sloping down to the Huron River, Angell is the city's most expensive neighborhood, with stately mansions and large, secluded homes.

East of the Arb, the streets north of Geddes are lined with large, stately older homes built in the 1920s and 1930s. Perched on the slopes overlooking the river are newer custom-built houses, many in mid-century Modern styles. South of Geddes are the winding, wooded streets of one of the city's wealthiest neighborhoods, Ann Arbor Hills, with many custom-designed homes.

The Angell district reaches north of the river to include the modernist 360-unit Huron Towers apartments and U-M family housing on North Campus. Children also are bused in from the huge 598-unit Golfside Lakes apartment complex east of US-23.

Angell grads go on to Tappan and Scarlett middle schools and meet up again at Huron High.
