The Cliffs is a collection of approximately six condominium phases built between 1968 and 1982, situated along Ford Lake off Grove Road. What separates the Cliffs from most condominiums are the million-dollar lake views.
Units typically range from 900 to 1,300 square feet with two or three bedrooms. A few owners have connected adjacent units to create larger spaces up to 1,800 or 2,000 square feet — a Cliffs penthouse or two are hiding here. One or two condos also have attached garages tucked in the back of the subdivision, but these are outliers. Most units have sliding glass doors opening onto private balconies or patios — some enclosed, some open. Fireplaces come standard in each unit.
HOA inclusions here vary by association; several associations exist in the Cliffs, sometimes referred as 'phases'. Most phases include gas, water, exterior maintenance, snow removal, and trash in the HOA fees. Residents pay separately only for electricity. Amenities vary by phase but may include gated access with security patrols, outdoor pools, pool houses, dog runs, and private boat slips for kayaks and canoes. Most units have a covered carport and an additional parking space.
Cliffs on the Bay is distinct from the Cliffs as a different condominium subdivision located a bit farther down Grove St in Ypsilanti. Condos in Cliffs on the Bay tends to sell for a bit less per unit than the Cliffs and the Northpoint at Cliffs, and the HOA fees tend to be a bit less as well since this subdivision does not have some features that the Cliffs has such as night-time security.
Similar to the other Cliffs, condos in Cliffs on the Bay tend to have the million-dollar lakeview that customers expect from the Cliffs, although this subdivision is significantly smaller in terms of its number of units. Many units here feature docking facilities as well as covered parking, some have private laundries while others use a common/coin laundry which is shared among building co-owners.
The Cliffs sits conveniently between downtown Ypsilanti and Depot Town, with express access to Ann Arbor and Detroit. North Bay Park is immediately adjacent, offering 139 acres with islands connected by bridges, boardwalks, and trails popular for fishing, birdwatching, and casual recreation.
Immediately nearby and visible from many front patios at the Cliffs (with an entrance w/ parking near the Rite Aid off S Grove St), is North Bay Park, a public park on roughly 139 acres. Popular for fishing and bird/wildlife watching, the park features a picturesque man-made archipelago of islands with bridges and a boardwalk with trails which circles the lake’s shore and wetlands. The park is popular with Ypsilantians, but rarely overcrowded– and super convenient to Cliffs residents who want to walk their dog, have a picnic with family or friends, or just watch local Canadian geese, swans, or herons.
