Zaragon West

Great location, cross to the Michigan diag, gym inside, close to a bunch of great restaurants! Perfect for University of Michigan students!

Great location to live with lots of eating choices nearby. 5 minutes from Diag, 10 minutes from the Law and Business school. Great rooms and lots of amenities that I take for granted like the gym, holding packages, free WSJ, and monthly free food. The rent’s on the high end, but you get what you pay for.

Great building, great service and fine amenities. Lived here for over a year but I have enjoyed it. Nice flowing apartments with a great view and a lovely view. Would highly suggest living there.

I really have had a wonderful experience at Zaragon West! I am a young professional and it has been a very comfortable experience for me. My apartment was very quiet, and I did not hear any noise above or below me. ZW is kept very clean! The hallways, the lobby and exercise area are very clean.
I have also had a great experience with the management. They were very patient and understanding and have helped me immensely.
As for some of the reviews on here, where it is said about paying hundreds of dollars for heat; while there was an issue, it was resolved and ZW did not allow residents to have to pay that amount of money for the electric bill, instead it was subsidized and ZW paid for a lot of your electricity bill.
It is very expensive, but it is better than a lot of the housing, very near campus, where it is either loud and the other older apartments/​houses smell really bad, they are not clean, etc. If you can swing it, just like someone else said, I would very much invest in ZW. It provides a very nice place, and feeling comfortable is very important, at least for myself.
I would highly recommend this place to grad students/​young professionals!!!

This building is mediocre and surely not worth the price tag of exorbitant rent. The building was constructed so rapidly the heating units were negligently installed resulting in monthly heating bills for a tiny two bedroom apartment exceeding $ 300! That’s more than some people pay to heat a multilevel house! I had to stop turning on the heat and made it through the cold winter with many layers because I just couldn’t afford the ridiculous prices.
Don’t expect speedy repairs, it took months for them to admit there was a problem with the heating system. Other repairs that any other landlord would fix in a matter of days take weeks to get action on. Pitiful, considering they have a full time maintenance man.
In the four bedrooms the airflow was so poorly designed that some bedrooms were freezing while others were saunas. The building did nothing to fix this issue that went on all winter.
Under no circumstances should you get a parking spot in their lot. Each space isn’t big enough to let you exit your car comfortably and they have added spots on the ramps not in the plans submitted to the City and never approved of by a building inspector, making entering and exiting the lot increasingly tricky. Aside from that, keep in mind that a building inspector never cleared those floors to be bearing the extra weight of those cars… they are just asking for trouble.
There is a gym, but it is tiny and a fishbowl without frosted glass so if you don’t want to get ogled by people passing by, or actually want to get a substantive workout in you’ll be looking for somewhere else to workout.
I recommend you find somewhere else to live under no circumstances is Zaragon worth the ridiculous price tag.
