It's an easy commute, and Milan has some advantages (it's right on U.S. 23.) For one thing, it's cheaper! It also has gotten more built up over the last few years, because people have moved out from Ann Arbor. But as someone who grew up here, Milan has a little bit of a scruffy reputation, partly because it is an industrial area and has a state prison. Saline, Ann Arbor, even parts of Ypsilanti are all more desirable (keeping resale in mind) and schools in Saline and Ann Arbor are particularly good. - Sun Mar 30 2008, 08:43
