Dining & Coffee Close To Home & Campus
Imagine rolling out of bed and being five minutes from the best coffee in town! Misfit Society’s cozy vibes, a quick cold brew from M36 Coffee Roasters, or your tried-and-true Starbucks order, are all just steps away. After some late-night study sessions, you can head over to Joe’s Pizza, which is open until 3 a.m., to refuel and get your energy back. Or you can wait and try the new Raising Canes, Revive coffee shop, or Bo’s Bagels, when they open in summer!
Walk To Michigan Union & Shapiro Library
Just minutes from your door, the Michigan Union offers more than a place to meet up—it’s a hub of student resources. From free mental health services to student organization offices and flexible dining options, Michigan Union is built to support your day-to-day life. And with East Quad’s dining hall next door, meal plans are an easy fit. Exam crunch time? You’ve got study spots within steps, including the quiet study rooms at The Shapiro Library, the private rooms in the Law Library, and many cozy study spaces spread throughout Ross School of Business, the School of Education, and the School of Social Work.
Close To University of Michigan Central Campus
Our community is also conveniently located near a large number of bus stops, including both Campus Transit and the Ann Arbor Transit System, making it easy to get around town. Want to explore North Campus or catch an event downtown? Just hop on and go — no car required. And when you’re ready to recharge, home is just a short ride away!
Evenings That Feel Like a Reset
As classes come to a finish for the day, the Diag starts to come alive with events, energy, and activity, all right next to your door. Whether you’re heading to an on-campus event or just passing through on your way to class, you’re where it’s all happening. What’s more, our community is located near some popular local destinations for nightlife, so our residents can unwind after a stressful week.
Undergraduate Housing That Breaks The Mold
Your days are full — lectures, group projects, coffee runs, and campus events. Our U of M apartments are within easy walking distance of most buildings hosting classes for underclassmen, which means you can swing back for a snack or that sweatshirt you forgot, pop back for a nap between classes, or grab your go-to coffee before that early lecture. It’s all about flexibility — and living right where the energy is.
Graduate Housing, Redefined
Long days and longer nights for graduate students mean finding balance is everything, which is why Z Place Apartments boasts a premier location. Our community is just minutes from many of U of M’s graduate schools, including the University of Michigan Law School, the University of Michigan Medical School, and the Ross School of Business. But we understand graduate students need time to de-stress and unwind, which is why our gym is also conveniently located on the ground floor of the building and is open 24/7.
A Location That Gives You Peace of Mind
At Z Place Apartments, your student’s well-being comes first. Our U of M off campus housing features secure key-fob access, 24/7, individually locking bedroom doors, and on-call maintenance always ready to help. Which means that if you get locked out at 2 a.m. or just forgot your key, we’ve got your back! What’s more, there’s even a mini-mart downstairs for last-minute essentials and a café when you need a quick fix between classes.
The Details That Matter
At the end of the day, it’s the small things that make you feel at home — knowing you’re safe, supported, and always covered. Whether you’re grabbing coffee on the way to class, cramming for finals in a quiet corner, or coming home late from a night out with friends, you can trust that Z Place Apartments keeps you steps from everything that makes campus life not just manageable, but memorable. Z Place Apartments isn’t just where you live — it’s where you feel connected, supported, and ready for what’s next.
