E 5 Mile Rd & N Sportsman Dr Area
Solid value in a growing area
Median $201K·Walkability 0.0/10
Driving through this stretch feels unhurried—wide-open acreage, river access, and room to breathe define the landscape. The Pine River runs through here, drawing anglers and canoeists year-round; several properties sit right on the water with 140+ feet of private frontage, and public access points nearby mean you're never far from the flow. Homes tend toward the substantial: ranches on multi-acre parcels, cabins with pole barns, riverfront cottages in various states of renovation—the kind of places where a detached garage and space for projects matter. The Hungerford Lake Recreation Area sits adjacent, adding trail access and outdoor infrastructure. Lake Michigan is just half a mile away, though the immediate character here is rural and forested rather than beachy. Snowmobile and off-road trails crisscross the area, and public land borders the neighborhood, which speaks to the outdoor-oriented vibe. There's no commercial strip to speak of—it's genuinely quiet residential with elbow room, the kind of setup that appeals to people who actually use their land.
