Duo Security, now part of Cisco, occupies a downtown Ann Arbor office at Ashley Street and serves as one of the city's flagship tech employers with about 700 staff. Because the office is downtown, the commute question is almost the opposite of the north-side tech employers: walking and biking are realistic daily options, parking is the scarce resource, and the best neighborhoods are the ones closest to downtown's walkable core. Duo's hybrid culture and relatively flexible start times further soften the commute friction.
Kerrytown and the Old West Side put Duo staff within walking distance. Water Hill and the Old Fourth Ward reach the office on foot in 15-20 minutes. Burns Park is a 10-minute bike ride. For slightly more suburban living with reasonable commutes, Ann Arbor Hills, Allen Creek, and Packard-Stadium all reach downtown in 5-10 minutes by car. Ypsilanti's Depot Town is a legitimate option for buyers willing to trade 20 minutes for significantly lower prices.
Downtown parking near Ashley and the Kerrytown edge runs $150-$200 per month for structure passes; many staff avoid driving entirely. The AAATA bus network feeds the Blake Transit Center one block away from the office, making bus commutes from most Ann Arbor neighborhoods realistic. Bike infrastructure on Division and William offers protected lanes for last-mile arrivals. For staff who do drive, approach from the north via Main Street; avoid State during UM class changes.
Duo/Cisco engineers and product staff typically target the $400K-$700K range for single-family, with senior staff pushing into $700K-$1M. The single-engineer or coupled-no-kids buyer cohort is large and heavily weighted toward $300K-$500K condos and lofts downtown. Remote-flexible roles have expanded the viable neighborhood list significantly; buyers routinely choose quieter west-side or Saline homes because they only commute downtown two or three days a week.
Downtown-adjacent condo inventory serving Duo staff runs $225K-$450K and turns in 15-25 days. Single-family homes in Kerrytown and the Old West Side list $550K-$850K with thin inventory. Duo buyers regularly outbid each other for well-kept walkable homes; the counter-strategy is shopping one ring out in Water Hill, Old Fourth Ward, or Packard-Stadium where prices drop $100-200K for a 5-minute-longer commute.

North draws on Plymouth Road and US-23, south on State Street and Ann Arbor-Saline, east on Washtenaw and I-94, west on Jackson Road and I-94 west.
