Delhi Mills, Peters Road and Loch Alpine
The northern bend of the Huron River around Delhi Metropark and the old Delhi Mills settlement, up Peters Road past the Fox Science Preserve to the Loch Alpine streets and Bridgeway, Glacier and Green Oak lakes. Almost every home is a detached house and owner-occupied, with Census owner values near $665,500 and a typical build year of 1990. Nearly all of it is Dexter Community Schools, even where the mail reads Ann Arbor 48103, and Loch Alpine homes are served by the Loch Alpine Sanitary Authority.
Huron River Drive, Tubbs Road and Walnut Ridge
East along West Huron River Drive from the Osborne Mill Preserve past the Brokaw and Tubbs nature areas, with Riverpines, Walnut Ridge and Delhi Overlook streets on the bluffs above the river. All 620 homes the Census counts here are detached houses. Owner values near $753,700, typical home from 1981, both with a wide margin. This is Ann Arbor Public Schools, and about 140 homes in the far northeast corner fall in the Census ZIP area for 48105.

Census owner values near $545,900, typical home from 1977, about 450 homes and almost all of them detached. Dexter Community Schools covers nearly all of it, and Census ZIP areas place it in 48130, though some addresses here, 705 N. Zeeb Rd among them, use Ann Arbor 48103.
Scio Farms Estates off Jackson Road
Two block groups on Jackson Road near Staebler and Baker roads, with fruit-named streets such as Orange Blossom, Cherry and Apricot lanes. About 710 of the roughly 840 homes the Census counts here are manufactured homes, the core of the township's 730. The Census owner median in the western block group is near $25,000 and none is published for the eastern one. Typical build years 1992 and 2001. Ann Arbor Public Schools. Financing turns on whether the home is on a leased lot or its own land.

Ann Arbor Public Schools.
Liberty Road, Parker Road and the southwest farmland
The largest block group, about a fifth of the township's land, from Jackson Road south past West Liberty Road to Scio Church Road between Parker and Zeeb, with the West Scio Preserve and the Liberty Pond Nature Area. Only about 190 homes, nearly all detached. Owner values near $476,200 with a margin of about $186,000, typical home from 1987. Most homes here are in Dexter Community Schools despite Ann Arbor 48103 mail, so check the district and ask early whether the house is on township water or its own well.
