Roads wind through land where trees still outnumber houses, and properties measure in acres rather than lots. An unnamed park sits right at the edge, and Lake Michigan lies just beyond—close enough that the water shapes the air and the rhythm of seasons. Within a mile, a dozen restaurants and a coffee shop a few minutes' walk away mean you're not far from decent food, yet the feeling here is still rural, still spacious. Homes tend toward four bedrooms on one to three acres, with detached garages, full basements, and the kind of yards where you can actually move around.
