Sister Lakes, located between I-94 and US-23, is a residential and lakeside Ann Arbor neighborhood with wooded streets and pocket parks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Sister Lakes area paths and shoreline access points, where joggers, dog-walkers, and kayaks set the daily rhythm. Housing leans toward mid-century ranches and newer infill, with lots shaped by mature trees and water views. Nearby, Matthaei Botanical Gardens & Nichols Arboretum reads as the outdoor living room, while Zingerman’s Roadhouse and the Michigan Theater anchor local culture beyond the shoreline. The pace feels quiet, with nature-forward routines and a short drive to campus energy.

R1D
Single-Family Dwelling District
These Single-Family Zoning Districts are intended to provide an environment of single-family detached dwellings, along with other related facilities that serve the residents in the district such as schools, recreational facilities, parks, and religious assembly. These districts should be convenient to commercial facilities in other zoning districts and to public transportation.; These districts are intended to encourage the preservation and continuation of the longstanding residential fabric in existing neighborhoods of predominantly single-family dwellings, along with other related facilities that serve the residents in these districts.; Accessory dwelling units are allowed to enable a new housing prototype that respects the look and character of single-family neighborhoods while: supporting more efficient use of existing housing stock and infrastructure; providing housing that responds to changing family needs, smaller households, and increasing housing costs; providing accessible housing for seniors and persons with disabilities; and supporting affordable housing goals.; Application of the R1D district may require a greater degree of services than the less dense Single-Family Zoning Districts. To assure health, safety and welfare, any future R1D zoning areas should be contingent upon the availability or provision of adequate public services to serve the higher densities permitted by that district, in addition to other pertinent planning considerations.
