WHAT’S UP WITH YPSI? ANN ARBOR’S NEAREST NEIGHBOR AND SISTER CITY



When you visit Ann Arbor and you’re looking for things to do, you might notice some locations that are listed under Ypsilanti rather than Ann Arbor itself. You may also hear locals talk about nearby Ypsi, as it’s called. The two cities are so close that sometimes Ypsi is considered a part of Ann Arbor itself. But Ypsi, though near enough to Ann Arbor that it will almost certainly come into play during your trip, is its own city and offers many attractions all its own.

An Introduction to Ypsi

Ypsi is a small city located just east of Ann Arbor and only 20 minutes away from Detroit. Sandwiched in between these two better-known cities, Ypsi is sometimes overlooked, but again, a trip to either city often means at least brushing against Ypsilanti. It’s named for Greek Independence War Hero Demetrios Ypsilanti and known for its bohemian culture and thriving art scene. Local businesses here make the culture as colorful as it is today, but they’re also proud of their history. Read more here...
