E 5 Mile Rd & N Sportsman Dr Area
Wide open spaces
Median $201K·Walkability 0.0/10
Early morning out here, when the mist still clings to the Pine River and you can actually hear the water moving—that's when this stretch shows its hand. It's river country, pure and simple: homes sit on substantial acreage, many with direct frontage on the Pine, and the whole area has the feel of something deliberately removed from the noise. The Hungerford Lake Recreation Area runs right up against the neighborhood, and Lake Michigan is barely half a mile away, so water access isn't theoretical—it's the organizing principle. Lots run to 22 acres on average, which means space, trees, and the kind of quiet that comes from actual distance between homes. You're looking at a mix of cabins, ranch homes, and river retreats; some are turnkey, others are in the middle of becoming something more. This is the kind of place where a screened porch facing the water and a barn on the property don't feel like accidents.
