Floor plans from studios to three bedrooms

The Harlan includes multiple apartment types rather than a single standard layout. Current listings show studios as well as one-, two- and three-bedroom choices. That range gives renters useful options, from a compact home to a larger plan with room for a home office, guests or shared living.

Start with the current Harlan studio apartment listing or explore a current one-bedroom apartment at The Harlan. The one-bedroom collection includes both traditional layouts and one-bedroom-plus-den designs.

For renters needing more room, compare a current two-bedroom, two-bath Harlan apartment with a current three-bedroom, two-bath Harlan apartment.

Availability, pricing, floor plans, orientation, move-in dates, incentives and individual features can change. Reach out to Darryn at Piper Partners to check current options, compare layouts and arrange a private tour of the apartments that best fit your needs.

Apartment features designed for everyday convenience

The apartments emphasize finishes and systems renters tend to notice in daily use: quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, modern tile backsplashes, hardwood-style flooring, full-size front-load laundry, keyless entry and smart thermostats. Walk-in closets with organizer systems and window shades are also included in the published feature list.

Some of the most appealing details are available only in select homes. Depending on the apartment, that may include a built-in kitchen island, balcony or patio, frameless-glass shower, walk-in shower or double vanity. When touring, confirm the features in the exact unit rather than relying on photos from another floor plan.

A substantial collection of shared amenities

The Harlan’s amenity package is one of its clearest selling points. Outdoor areas include a resort-style pool with cabanas, an outdoor kitchen, courtyards, grills and fire pits. Indoors, residents have access to a fitness center, coworking areas, a clubroom, coffee and beverage station, golf simulator and billiards.

The more practical amenities may matter just as much: bicycle storage, EV charging, garage and surface parking options, refrigerated storage for perishable deliveries, a package system, on-site management and 24-hour emergency maintenance. The property is pet-friendly and lists both a dog park and pet spa.

Why the Briarwood location may work

The Harlan sits on the south side of Ann Arbor near Briarwood, with quick access to I-94 and the State Street and Ann Arbor-Saline Road corridors. That makes it different from a downtown apartment: residents trade a walk-everywhere city-center setting for easier regional driving, nearby retail and a location that can work well for trips around Washtenaw County and Southeast Michigan.

Groceries, restaurants, fitness businesses and major retailers are close by. Downtown Ann Arbor, Michigan Stadium and the University of Michigan athletic campus are a short drive, although actual travel time will vary with game-day traffic, construction and the time of day. Renters who plan to commute should test their route at the hours they normally travel.

Look beyond the advertised base rent

A useful comparison starts with total monthly housing cost, not base rent alone. The community’s published cost guide identifies additional charges that may include internet, pest control, trash service, utility billing, water and sewer, electricity and valet trash. Parking, pets and storage can add optional or situation-dependent costs.

Before applying, ask for a written estimate covering the exact apartment: base rent, required monthly services, utilities, parking, pet charges, deposits, application and administrative fees, lease term, renewal terms and any concession. If a special lowers the first-year effective rent, also calculate what the payment would be without that incentive.

A smart way to compare The Harlan with other Ann Arbor rentals

The Harlan will be most appealing to renters who value a new residence, in-home laundry, extensive amenities and convenient road access. Someone who prioritizes walking to downtown restaurants or campus every day may make a different choice. Neither is automatically better; the right answer depends on how often you will use the amenities and how the location affects your routine.

Darryn and the Piper Partners team can help you compare available apartments at The Harlan and other luxury rentals in Ann Arbor, understand the practical differences among floor plans and arrange tours. We also stay connected after the lease is signed. Many renters eventually need help selling a current property, relocating, or planning a first or next home purchase, and those decisions are easier when the conversation begins well before the move.
