About Turnberry Village
Turnberry Village is a condominium community of 90 units on Ann Arbor's southeast side, south of Packard off Turnberry Lane, built between 1996 and 1998 by C.A. Kime Inc.
The units are one-and-a-half and two stories, generally two bedrooms in the range of 1,000 to 1,500 square feet, with full basements, attached garages, and decks or patios. The association maintains its own website.

Turnberry Village and Turnberry are two developments
Sort this out first, because the names differ by one word and the two sit side by side.
Turnberry Village is this condominium community: 90 attached units built 1996 to 1998. Turnberry is the adjacent single-family subdivision of 210 detached houses built 1993 to 1997.
A condominium unit and a detached house on a deeded lot are different legal products with different carrying costs and different price behavior, so a sale in one needs adjustment before it stands as a comparable for the other. When a listing gives only 'Turnberry', check the ownership structure rather than the name: a master deed and a monthly assessment, or a lot and a deed.
A condominium that lives like a house
The specification here is worth reading closely, because it explains what these units offer and what they cost to run.
Full basements and attached garages are not universal in attached housing of this size, and both change the practical experience — storage that does not have to be rented, and a car that does not have to be cleared of snow. Decks or patios give each unit private outdoor space rather than only shared ground. One-and-a-half and two-story layouts mean stairs, which is a real consideration for a buyer thinking about a long stay.
Two bedrooms across 1,000 to 1,500 square feet, with a full bathroom and a half bathroom in the common configuration, is a specification rather than an impression, and is worth stating as one: two bedrooms is two bedrooms, and a half bathroom is not a second full one. Anyone whose requirements exceed that will discover it at a showing, and naming it in advance is more useful than describing the units as simply spacious.
The consequence for resale is that this community competes partly with small detached houses rather than only with other condominiums — and a buyer weighing the two is really weighing the maintenance trade, not the square footage.
Thirty years in, and what the association owns
Built 1996 to 1998, the common elements here are around thirty years old, and in a condominium that age lands on the association rather than on the individual owner.
Roofs, drives and parking, siding, and any shared drainage are all at or past a first full replacement cycle. Across 90 units a major program divides into a per-unit figure that is real money, so the reserve study is the most consequential document in the transaction — more so than the inspection of the unit itself.
Ask what the assessment has done over the past five years rather than only what it is today; a flat assessment against thirty-year-old common elements is a question rather than a reassurance. Read the minutes, which is where a pending special assessment surfaces before it reaches a disclosure. And read the master deed's division of responsibility, which decides whether the windows, the deck, the garage door and the basement are the owner's problem or the association's — that division varies between associations and should not be assumed.
For the unit itself, the late-nineties agenda applies: mechanical ages first, seal failure in original double glazing, and cladding condition at the bottom courses and wherever a deck meets a wall.
The southeast side around it
Packard and Carpenter meet at the edge of this part of Ann Arbor, and the location's character comes from access rather than from a center of its own.
Briarwood Mall and the retail on South State and Eisenhower are a short drive, as is I-94. The University of Michigan's south and medical campuses and the stadium are north; St Joseph Mercy's hospital campus is east on Washtenaw. Between them those are the county's largest employment concentrations, and this position sits within a reasonable run of all of them.
It is worth naming the trade plainly: strong access in several directions, and a downtown that is a drive rather than a stroll. Measure it in a real weekday journey at the hour you would actually make it, not in map miles.
One boundary detail worth checking on any address near Carpenter: the Ann Arbor city line runs through this area, and parcels on the far side sit in Pittsfield Township, with different taxing and different services.
Schools
These addresses are generally served by Ann Arbor Public Schools, but assignment is set by address rather than by neighborhood name, and district boundaries here follow neither municipal nor postal lines.
Buying or selling here
Ninety units of consistent type and vintage give a legible comparable set, provided the analysis stays inside this association and does not drift into the adjacent single-family subdivision.
For a seller, the association's document package is part of the product, and the specification is the story: full basement, attached garage, private outdoor space. Those are the details that distinguish these units from attached housing that has none of them.
