Although Ypsilanti is less affordable than the rest of the state, it remains one of the best places to rent a place in this part of Michigan. Michigan winters may have the well-earned reputation to be brutal, but Ypsilanti stays vibrant year-round thanks to its tight-knit community and the presence of Eastern Michigan University.

They are required to return it to the renters within 30 days of the move-out date, minus any damages.

    Things for renting

    Shopping in Ypsilanti, MI

    Due to its proximity of Ann Arbor, shopping options are relatively limited within the city borders of Ypsilanti.

Grocery shopping can be accomplished by visiting Kroger or Aldi, both of which have several locations in town, or Save A Lot for a budget option. Ypsilanti also offers a remarkable variety of ethnic stores, including Latin American, Asian and Caribbean options.
