Which Townhouse at Rambler Ann Arbor is Right for Me?

If you’re choosing between the two townhouses at Rambler Ann Arbor, the biggest difference comes down to how you want to live with your roommate. The Henry places the two bedrooms on different levels of the townhouse, while The Waldorf places both bedrooms together upstairs. 

Located just an 8-minute walk from the University of Michigan’s main campus and The Diag, both townhouses offer a more residential living experience than a traditional student apartment. However, the way each layout separates private and shared spaces creates a noticeably different day-to-day experience. 

This guide compares The Henry and The Waldorf side by side so you can decide which townhouse best fits your roommate dynamic and lifestyle.

Before diving deeper into each layout, here’s a quick comparison of the townhouse floorplans available at Rambler Ann Arbor: 

The Henry 

Square Feet: 858
Views: North 
Located on Levels: 1 Only

The Henry introduces a different type of student living at Rambler Ann Arbor by offering a townhouse-style layout instead of a traditional apartment floorplan. 

Because the layout is designed as a townhouse, the space feels more separated and residential overall, which may appeal to students who want a little more distinction between where they sleep, study and spend time socially throughout the day. 

The layout includes a kitchen island, extra windows and larger shared living areas that help the apartment feel brighter and more open throughout the semester. Both bedrooms also include bathtubs, while the side-by-side washer and dryer setup adds additional convenience within the unit. 

One of the biggest differences in The Henry is the split-level bedroom arrangement. Instead of placing both bedrooms on the same floor, the layout separates them across different levels of the townhouse, which can create additional privacy between roommates throughout the school year. 

Since The Henry is exclusively located on Level 1, it offers a noticeably different feel compared to the upper-floor apartment-style layouts elsewhere in the building. 

The Waldorf 

Square Feet: 876 
Views: East
Located on Levels: 1 Only

The Waldorf is the largest townhouse layout at Rambler Ann Arbor and offers a spacious, residential living experience near the University of Michigan. 

The layout combines the added square footage of a larger shared living area with the more residential feel that comes from townhouse-style design. This may especially appeal to students who expect to spend a lot of time in the apartment throughout the school year or want additional separation between shared and private spaces. 

The Waldorf includes a kitchen island, extra windows, attached closets and a side-by-side washer and dryer setup. Bathroom layouts differ slightly between roommates, with Bedroom A including a bathtub while Bedroom B includes a stand-up shower. 

Unlike The Henry, The Waldorf places both bedrooms together on the second level of the townhouse. This creates more separation between the shared living areas downstairs and the private bedroom spaces upstairs, helping the layout feel more residential overall.
