Landmark Ann Arbor: Decision Review for Student Housing
Finding the right off-campus apartment in Ann Arbor can be time-consuming. Landmark Ann Arbor (often referred to locally as The Landmark Apartments) is one of the larger student-oriented properties near the University of Michigan campus. This review breaks down what the property offers, who it might suit, and what actual residents say, based on verified data from early 2026.
Location and Context
Landmark Ann Arbor is located at Ann Arbor, MI 48104, USA. The exact street address is not listed in the public data, but the property sits within the central Ann Arbor area, close to the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor campus. The city has 16 student-housing properties listed on the platform we source from, with a city-wide starting price of $729 per month (for the most basic room). Landmark sits at a higher price point, starting at $1,441 per month. This positions it as a mid-to-upper range option within the local student market.
The property is available from 20 August 2026, with a minimum lease term of 3 months. That means you can move in for the fall 2026 semester and stay for at least a trimester or a full academic year if you prefer. The shorter minimum lease (compared to many 12-month contracts) may appeal to students who only need housing for one semester or who want flexibility.
What Residents Actually Say
We analysed 134 Google reviews, which give the property an average rating of 3.4 out of 5. Three reviews were provided in the dataset. Here is what residents highlight:
Positive feedback (the 5-star reviews):
Bilyana Georgiev gave 5 stars and wrote: “I’ve genuinely loved living at The Landmark Apartments. From the moment I moved in, it has felt like such a comfortable and convenient place to call home. The amenities are modern, updated, and always clean, and I especially appreciate the study spaces. They’ve been incredibly helpful during busy school weeks.”
Isabella De Fazio gave 5 stars and wrote: “I’ve had a great experience living at Landmark so far. I receive a lot of packages, and they’re always handled quickly and get to me in a timely manner, which I really appreciate. Maintenance responds fast whenever something comes up, and the front office staff is consistently friendly, professional, and genuinely caring.”
Key takeaways from these positive reviews: the study spaces, package handling, maintenance response, and friendly staff are strengths. Multiple residents mention the amenities (modern, clean, updated) and convenience.
Negative feedback (the 1-star review):
Brett Galdeen gave 1 star and wrote: “Don’t waste your money to live in a prison cell, they offer a ‘pool’ but it’s never open. Only good things about this place are the maintenance workers and the gym.”
This highlights a common tension: the pool availability appears inconsistent. The reviewer describes units as cramped (“prison cell”). So while maintenance is praised, the living space may be tight for some.
The overall rating of 3.4 suggests mixed but generally average satisfaction. The positive reviews focus on staff and amenities; the negative ones mention size and pool access. Given that only three reviews are in our dataset, the broader 134-review average (3.4) is a more reliable signal.
Who This Residence Suits
Landmark Ann Arbor works well for students who:
- Value study spaces and a quiet environment. The positive reviews specifically praise the study rooms. If you need a dedicated place to work outside your unit, this property provides that.
- Have a moderate budget for a private or shared room. The price range ($1,441–$2,561 per month, indicative — confirm with the operator) is above the city’s cheapest option ($729) but is typical for modern, amenity-rich student apartments near a large university. If you can afford the starting price, you are paying for convenience, location, and on-site facilities.
- Want flexibility in lease length. With a minimum 3-month lease, you are not locked into a full academic year if your plans change after one semester.
- Prefer a property with a gym and laundry facility. Tags include “laundry facility” and “wifi”. The gym is mentioned positively by at least one resident.
- Expect responsive maintenance and package handling. Multiple reviews highlight these points.
Who Should Look Elsewhere
This residence may not suit:
- Budget-conscious students who want the lowest possible rent. The city has a from-price of $729/month. If you are looking for the cheapest option, Landmark is nearly double that.
- Students who want a large private living space. One review describes units as “prison cell” — while that is a strong opinion, it suggests some units are compact. You should check floor plans carefully, especially for the shared units (2b, 4b, 5b, 6b are available; studios also exist).
- Anyone who relies heavily on a swimming pool as a key amenity. The 1-star review states the pool is “never open”. If having a functional pool is important to you, confirm current status with the property directly.
- Students who prefer a low-rise, traditional apartment feel. Landmark is likely a larger building (based on the name and amenities). If you dislike high-density living, this may not be for you.
Price Positioning vs City’s From-Price
The city-wide from-price for student housing in Ann Arbor is $729 per month. That figure represents the lowest-cost room across all 16 properties we track (likely a shared room in a basic house or a smaller unit). Landmark’s starting price of $1,441 is 98% higher than that baseline.
Within Ann Arbor’s student housing market, $1,441 is a typical starting price for a modern, amenity-heavy property in a central location. The maximum price of $2,561 per month likely applies to larger single studios or private rooms in the building. To give context: a studio or a one-bedroom in a similar building can easily cost $1,800–$2,200/month elsewhere near campus. So Landmark’s range is competitive for its category, but not a bargain.
All prices shown are indicative — confirm with the operator at the time of booking. Prices may vary based on room type, floor, lease duration, and seasonal demand.
Room-Type Guidance
The property offers five unit types: studio, 2-bedroom, 4-bedroom, 5-bedroom, and 6-bedroom. Here is how to think about each:
- Studio: Best for those who want total privacy and don’t mind paying the highest per-person cost (likely near the top of the $1,441–$2,561 range). Suitable for a single occupant.
- 2-bedroom: Typically shared with one roommate. Good for friends or students who want a larger common space but still have their own bedrooms.
- 4-bedroom / 5-bedroom / 6-bedroom: These are classic student-shared apartments. Each resident usually gets a private bedroom and shares common areas (kitchen, living room). The per-person rent will be lower than a studio or 2-bedroom. If you are sociable and want a lower individual cost, choose a higher occupancy unit. However, note the negative review about small unit size — with more roommates, the shared space might feel tighter.
No deposit amount is provided in the data. You will need to ask the operator about deposit, fees, and any upfront costs.
Booking Timing and Availability
The property is available from 20 August 2026, with a minimum 3-month lease. That means you can move in just before the fall semester starts. If you want to secure a specific room type (especially studios or 2-bedrooms, which tend to have limited inventory), start inquiring as early as possible — ideally by mid-2026. Many students finalise housing for the academic year between February and June. Since August 2026 is still months away (as of this article’s writing in July 2026), there is still time, but popular units may fill.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the pool actually open?
Based on the 1-star review from a resident, the pool was “never open” at the time of their stay. However, that may have changed. The positive reviews do not mention the pool. To be safe, contact the property directly and ask about current pool hours and seasonal operation. Do not assume pool access when comparing with other properties.
How does Landmark Ann Arbor compare to other student housing near University of Michigan?
Landmark sits in the mid-to-upper price range. The city has 16 properties tracked, with a lowest price of $729/month. If your budget is under $1,400, Landmark is likely out of reach. If you can afford $1,441+, it offers modern amenities, good maintenance, and study spaces — but check individual room sizes. Consider visiting the apartment or requesting a virtual tour to verify square footage.
What is the lease flexibility like?
The minimum lease is 3 months. That means you can rent for a single semester (e.g., fall only) or longer. This is more flexible than many student apartments that require a 9–12 month lease. However, confirm whether you can terminate early or sublease — those terms are not in the data. Always read the lease carefully.
