Working remotely from Ann Arbor — my experience
I've been working remotely from Ann Arbor for 12 years now. Here's my take:
The pace of life here is perfect for remote work. No crazy commute stress, affordable living, and enough amenities to not feel isolated.
Cost of living: pretty reasonable
Internet: Could be better but workable with a good provider
Coworking spaces: Growing number of options
If you're looking for a place to WFH, Ann Arbor is underrated for remote workers.

Don't sleep on Eastside. It's up and coming and still affordable.

Can confirm the safety issue. But it really depends on the neighborhood. Highland Park and Pine Grove are perfectly safe.

I'd add that healthcare options are better than most cities this size. Otherwise spot on!

Public transit needs work but they're investing in it. Should improve in next few years.

Coming from Chicago, the cost of living difference is noticeable. Groceries and gas are slightly more expensive but housing makes up for it.
