Which 5x5 at Rambler Ann Arbor is Right for Me?

Rambler Ann Arbor offers three 5×5 floorplans: The Graduate, The Langham and The Biltmore. The Graduate is the most compact option with southwest-facing views, The Langham offers more space and the widest range of floor locations, and The Biltmore is the largest and most exclusive 5-bedroom layout in the building. 

Located just an 8-minute walk from the University of Michigan’s main campus and The Diag, all three floorplans give every roommate a private bedroom and bathroom. The differences come down to square footage, views, bathroom configurations and a handful of unique features that may make one layout a better fit for your group than another. 

This guide compares The Graduate, The Langham and The Biltmore side by side to help you determine which 5-bedroom apartment at Rambler Ann Arbor is right for you and your roommates.

The Graduate vs. The Langham vs. The Biltmore 

Before diving deeper into each layout, here’s a quick comparison of all three 5×5 floorplans available at Rambler Ann Arbor: 

The Graduate 

Square Feet: 1,624  
Views: Southwest  
Located on Levels: 2–12  

The Graduate is the most compact of the three 5-bedroom floorplans at Rambler Ann Arbor and for a lot of five-person groups, that’s exactly what makes it appealing for many roommate groups. 

At 1,624 square feet, the layout gives five roommates meaningful private space without the apartment feeling oversized or difficult to keep up with throughout the school year. The southwest-facing views set it apart from the other 5-bedroom options. 

Every Graduate unit positions the living area alongside all five bedrooms, keeping shared and private spaces clearly defined from the moment you walk in. A pantry adds practical storage to the kitchen that makes a real difference when five people are stocking groceries and cooking throughout the week. 

Not every bathroom in The Graduate has both a bathtub and a stand-up shower. Bedrooms B and E have tubs while A, C and D have stand-up showers. Because the bathroom configurations vary by bedroom, your group should discuss room assignments early in the leasing process. 

The Graduate works best for groups who want a southwest-facing apartment with lower-floor flexibility and a layout that’s easy to manage for five people throughout the year. 

The Langham 

Square Feet: 1,713 
Views: East  
Located on Levels: 2–12, 14–16  

The Langham sits between The Graduate and The Biltmore in both size and availability, making it one of the most versatile 5-bedroom options at Rambler Ann Arbor. It is larger than The Graduate and available across more floors than The Biltmore, making it the most flexible choice for five-person groups who want more space without limiting themselves to a single level. 

At 1,713 square feet, the east-facing layout gives five roommates a noticeably more open feel than The Graduate while still keeping the apartment approachable in terms of size and upkeep. The additional square footage shows up most in the shared living area, which gives the group more room to spread out during downtime between classes. 

Like The Graduate, The Langham includes a pantry alongside the kitchen island, a practical combination that makes the kitchen more functional for five people sharing groceries and cooking throughout the week. 

The Langham is a mirrored floorplan, which means some units are a reversed version of the standard layout. If the exact orientation of your unit matters to your group, particularly for views or natural light, it’s worth confirming which version you’re signing for with the leasing team. 

Bedrooms D and E have bathtubs while A, B and C have stand-up showers. As with any split bathroom setup, sorting out room preferences with your group before signing makes move-in day a lot smoother. 

The Langham is ideal for groups who want east-facing views, more square footage than The Graduate and the broadest selection of floor locations.

The Biltmore 

Square Feet: 1,744 
Views: East  
Located on Levels: 12 only  

The Biltmore is the largest and most exclusive 5-bedroom floorplan at Rambler Ann Arbor. Available on Level 12 only, it’s a one-of-a-kind floorplan that combines the most square footage in the 5-bedroom lineup with several features not found in the other layouts. 

At 1,744 square feet, The Biltmore gives five roommates the most space of any 5-bedroom layout at Rambler Ann Arbor. The east-facing views line up with The Langham, but The Biltmore stands apart in two meaningful ways: it’s the only 5-bedroom with a side-by-side washer/dryer rather than stacked, and it’s the only layout in the 5-bedroom lineup where every single bathroom includes both a bathtub/shower combo.  

Additionally, The Biltmore is Rambler Ann Arbor’s accessible 5-bedroom option. The layout offers a more open feel with additional space to move comfortably throughout the apartment. If accessibility is a priority for your group, reach out to the leasing team directly to ask about availability. 

The Biltmore is the right choice for groups who want the most space, the most complete bathroom setup and a truly one-of-a-kind living experience at Rambler Ann Arbor.

For groups looking for the largest 5-bedroom apartment at Rambler Ann Arbor, The Biltmore stands in a category of its own.
