There are MANY smaller lakes with communities that are more affordable. We have a place at Starvation Lake--for example--and can reach all these bigger, pricey, beach towns--plus Leland, Northport, Glenn.Arbor, etc-- within a nice curvy road tour on our motorcycle, within 30-60-minutes.
You are so lost. Yea you want to live in a community of over-priced homes, Your "northern Michigan" has them, and you can keep them. You want real Northern Michigan, get into the Upper Peninsula, where you can have acreage on a private lake. If you like to be surrounded by people, "southern Michigan" is for you. If you want peace and privacy, try the UP. Much nicer.

I find a lot of people in northern Michigan don’t realize that houses in other resort and desirable areas sell for thousands of dollars a square foot.
100%
The homeless has hit Traverse city hard.
It's a pattern when all the downstate "libs" move into an area and destroy it like locusts.
What is the cost of beautiful stone house over looking Ives Lake in the middle of the Huron Mountain Club
It was listed for almost $20M a few years ago. I don’t think it ever sold.

The Upper Peninsula is beautiful
I’m from the UP, and most acreage gets snatched up as soon as it’s available - a large percentage by people from Chicago.
We are slowly losing the u p because of this crap
Don’t be upset if he’s not talking about the UP… it doesn’t need attention and it will stay nice. If it’s that great, keep it quiet
Whatever
