Idlewild #5
Solid value in a growing area
Median $87K·Schools 3.7/10
Wooded acres define this stretch of west Michigan, where Lake Michigan anchors the broader geography. Most properties run close to a half-acre, fronting paved roads with a mix of year-round homes and seasonal cabins—some restored, others waiting for work. Metal roofs, natural gas, and public sewer show up regularly; the wooded character means you're looking at privacy and trees, not dense subdivision living.

Not a commitment to lend, and not an APR — your actual rate and payment will vary.
