Barton Hills
The Village Barton Hills, Ann Arbor Township MI. Located within Ann Arbor Charter Township and adjacent to the city of Ann Arbor, the community was originally named "Huron Farms" and was established by the Detroit Edison Company in 1913. The company acquired land on both sides of the Huron River and built a series of dams for electric power production. Land owned by the company was also used for agricultural purposes, including farms, dairy cattle, and fruit orchards. The area where the village is currently located was too hilly for farming and was instead promoted by company executive as an exclusive residential community for company executives. Membership in the Barton Hills Country Club was considered by many to be a mark of distinction. As homes were constructed in the 1920s, restrictions attached to each deed stipulated that the homes must be designed by a registered architect. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barton_Hills,_Michigan).
This coveted neighborhood along the Huron River and Barton Shore Drive offers homes from 1259-6600 square feet, each with unique architectural styles. Easy access to M-14, US-23 and downtown Ann Arbor and large residential lots offer privacy and scenic views.
