About Oakbrook

Oakbrook is an Ypsilanti-area community in Washtenaw County, and listings show both an Oakbrook and an Oakbrook Estates in the Ypsilanti area. A community of 54 condominiums carries the same name in Ann Arbor — off South Main Street near Ann Arbor-Saline Road, with construction begun in 1990 — and that is a different municipality with different tax rates, different services and a different school district.

Locally, the question underneath everything is which Ypsilanti an address sits in. The City of Ypsilanti is a compact municipality of a few square miles containing the downtown, Depot Town, the historic districts and Eastern Michigan University — founded in 1849, now enrolling roughly twelve thousand students, and the largest employer in the city. Ypsilanti Township surrounds the city on three sides, is far larger, and has its own board, services and tax rate; it is served partly by Ypsilanti Community Schools and partly by Lincoln Consolidated Schools. I can tell you which name and which municipality a specific address belongs to.
