I just moved to Canton, it's a nice area, plenty of places for food and shopping on Ford Rd. Not to mention Ikea down the street to furnish your apartment. I'm paying $600 for a 1 bedroom. 18 minutes from my driveway to the employee parking lot.

Try the one in AA on an evening when it's warm...better um....scenery.
Plus 2 dollar domestic drafts on thursday.
Also Mexican Fiesta just down the road (Ford Rd) from BD's in Canton...awesome food and affordable. Might want to make sure you don't work early the next day though.

I live in Canton too, I think it's a pretty good area. 20 minutes to the employee lot on a bad day, but I'm on the southern end, Denton & Geddes area. So I try to avoid Ford Road. Otherwise, if you have a dog, there's a gigantic dog park opening up. Everything you could possibly need is on Ford Road. Restruarants, bars, gym, dry cleaners, shopping, whatever. If you have kids try to make sure you're in the Plymouth-Canton school district, Van Buren and Wayne schools aren't so hot. PM me if you have other questions!

Ann Arbor is great. I don't know what you would pay for what you want in Ann Arbor, but my guess is it would be a little pricey given the University and a seemingly endless supply of students whose parents aren't on a budget.
A great alternative is Pittsfield Township which is adjacent to Ann Arbor and close to I-94. There are dog friendly apartments and at least one dog park. I'm guessing you could rent a house too. A comparable property in Pittsfield Twp. will always bee less expensive than Ann Arbor because property taxes are significantly higher in AA. You don't have to pay property taxes if you rent but your landlord does which means you pay more.
I live about two miles from I-94 and it takes me about 25 minutes to get to the employee parking lot. Traffic is never a problem.
