good apartments and bad, getting landlords to fix the plumbing, where 
pets are allowed, tenant's rights, finding a roommate, whatever

It's mostly been nice, but my ground-floor-parking-lot-view little 
apartment in the Pheasant Run complex is getting kinda old, the 
rent isn't so cheap any more, and no place i go often is close by.
I've been thinking about moving, and read nice things about Huron
Towers (up by the VA hospital) in a marginal source (A^2 Snooze).
Apartment Finders suggests the Greenbriar complex (off Green south
of Plymouth).  Any suggestions?  I'm paying $585 + heat + electric
here, and that'll probably jump over $600 when my lease is up next
June. 

Dumb question, but what part of town would be a convienent location?

Except for the heavy traffic, Plymouth & Green would be great - i could
easily walk to work & the grocery store.  Huron Towers couldn't be that
convenient, even if traffic on Fuller was always as light as Huron
Towers will probably tell me...far less freeway noise there, though.
I'll take an inconvenient location if other aspects make up for it.

Now i'm looking at Arbor Village Apartments (south of Whole Foods and
SE of the Catholic church on Stadium just east of the Washtenaw fork).
Anyone have any experience, gossip, etc. on them?  

15 years after the last response, I bet i has found a place to live. And
possibly even moved again... 

I know I've moved several times since May, 2000:
-from NC to MI to an apt. complex in Ypsi
-from the apartment to renting in a house [where the landlord mostly
commuted from his partner's house so I only saw him maybe 2-3 times per
month; was at this place for 5 years until he decided to sell
-moved back to the apt. I was in and was there for 1 1/2 years while I
was on the waiting list to get into the Arrowwood Hills Co-op.

Am somewhat considering moving back to NC since I like the climate much
better and still know people there. But I'd have to find someplace I
could afford. I was in Durham and with a number of colleges/universities
in the Raleigh/Durham area, rent is similar to Ann Arbor and most are
priced at more than I can pay. I prefer to live by myself so cutting
costs by sharing a place isn't an option, at least not for the long
haul.

I haven't been to NC in over 25 years.
