Walnut Ridge is a community of estate homes on generous one half to one acre wooded and rolling home sites in a spectacular 135 acre country setting, with 50 acres designated for open space.  Situated just 3 miles from Main Street in downtown Ann Arbor – one of the most cosmopolitan and progressive cities in the Nation – Walnut Ridge offers its residents a premier Scio Township location with convenient access to the highly acclaimed Ann Arbor Schools: Abbot Elementary, Forsythe Middle School, and the brand new Skyline High School; major employment centers; regional shopping and entertainment; and the educational opportunities and sporting events of the University of Michigan.  Walnut Ridge is one of Washtenaw County’s most desirable communities.   

Walnut Ridge is luxury living at its best. Homeowners have city water and sewer, with the benefit of paying Scio Township taxes, which are 25% lower than taxes in the City of Ann Arbor. The homes are a mixture of contemporary and traditional styles and range in size from 3,400 – 5,500 square feet. All feature stately brick exteriors, 3 car side-entry garages, and numerous standards upgrades including granite kitchen counters, ceramic baths, jacuzzi tubs, and crown molding.  

Toll Brothers – a renowned luxury home builder, constructed 88 of the homes, with the remaining homes built by Bosco-Trinity Homes LLC. Currently there are 2 lots left to build on.

With 50 acres of open space – much of it wooded – there is plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors. There are numerous scenic walking trails and a large pond with a fountain. You’ll see many of the homeowners walking through the sub on a summer evening, creating a real neighborhood feeling.

Walnut Ridge has done very well on resale. The prices have come down – like every community in Ann Arbor, however, the demand for homes in Walnut Ridge is very high, due to its ideal location and the many amenities it offers. Currently The Bouma Group of Keller Williams Realty has 3 homes listed for sale – out of a total of 5 homes that are for sale through the Ann Arbor Area Multiple Listing Service. 2 of the listed properties are under contract. For a period of time this winter, there was nothing available for sale which is very rare for Washtenaw County subdivisions.  To get a true feel for Walnut Ridge, take a stroll through the neighborhood, by clicking on the video below. Do you live in Walnut Ridge? We’d love for you to tell us more about your community!
