SIX 11, Ann Arbor 48104

SIX 11 is a fourteen storey student residence at 611 East University Avenue, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48104. It stands less than a block from the University of Michigan campus, which makes it one of the most convenient options for anyone searching for student accommodation in the United States. The building was completed in 2018 and designed by WDG Architecture. It rises to roughly 148 feet and can be entered from both East University Avenue and Church Street. Inside, there are around 91 units and about 350 beds, so the community feels lively without ever feeling anonymous.

A Location Built Around Campus Life

The address is the main reason students choose SIX 11. The listing shows the University of Michigan is a 0.3 mile walk away, and most residents find the trip takes about five minutes. Bus stops are close by, so reaching the medical campus, north campus or the train station stays simple even through a Michigan winter. Downtown Ann Arbor begins right outside the door. Pizza House, Brown Jug Restaurant and Joe’s Pizza NYC are all nearby, and Nickels Arcade is close for browsing shops and meeting friends for coffee. Target is about a ten minute walk away for groceries and everyday supplies. Because so much is within reach on foot around 48104, many residents save money on transport and spend far less time commuting.

Room Types and Apartment Layouts

SIX 11 offers studios along with four, five and six bedroom apartments. Every bedroom comes with its own private bathroom, so you share the kitchen and living space but never the bathroom. Studios suit students who want a self contained home with a bed, kitchenette and bathroom in one place. The shared layouts work well for friends who want to move in together, and just as well for solo students who would like to meet new people. Studios start from US$2,739 a month, four bedroom apartments from US$1,545 and five bedroom apartments from US$1,515. A six bedroom layout is also listed from US$1,555 a month. Prices change with floor plan and lease dates, so check live availability before you decide.

Furnished and Ready to Move In

All apartments at SIX 11 are fully furnished with a bed plus living room and dining furniture, so you can arrive with a suitcase instead of ordering a sofa. Each home has an in unit washer and dryer, a refrigerator, a microwave and fast Wi-Fi, which covers most of what a student needs in the first week. Several five bedroom layouts also include air conditioning, a welcome extra during the warm weeks of late summer. The building has an elevator, and bookings made through Acolyte Living carry no service fee.

Facilities for Study, Fitness and Downtime

Living here means more than a bed and a desk. The sky lounge on the upper floors has wide views across Ann Arbor and works for socialising or quiet reading. A heated rooftop terrace comes with fire pits and grilling stations, which are especially popular on warm evenings and during football season. Lower down you will find a fitness centre, a coffee bar, group study rooms with video screens and printing stations. A package room and an Amazon Hub make online deliveries far less stressful. Those with a car can use the three level garage, which provides 53 off street spaces, and indoor bike storage is available for cyclists.

Safe and Secure Living

Settling into a new country is easier when your home feels secure. SIX 11 uses CCTV and video surveillance around the building and offers round the clock security, so residents and their families can feel at ease. The central position also means the surrounding streets are active for much of the day and evening, which adds a natural sense of safety when you walk home after a late study session.

Community and Social Life

With about 350 beds, the building draws students from a wide mix of courses and countries. Shared lounges, the terrace and the study areas make it easy to start conversations, whether you are in your first year or finishing a graduate programme. A senior who had lived in two Ann Arbor student buildings told a campus publication that SIX 11 suits people who enjoy an energetic atmosphere. Its position close to the medical school also makes it practical for health students with long and irregular hours.

Nearby Universities

The University of Michigan is the closest campus at roughly 0.3 miles, but other institutions are within reach too. Concordia University Ann Arbor is about 2.7 miles away and Eastern Michigan University is about six miles away, both reachable by bus or car. This flexibility suits students who split their time between sites or who may change courses along the way.
