Romence Plat No.1
Surrounded by nature
Median $693K·Walkability 4.5/10·Schools 4.5/10
Romence Plat No. 1 is a four-acre subdivision where the average lot runs just under a third of an acre—tight enough that you're genuinely neighbors with people, loose enough that you're not stacked on top of them. Homes here median around $693K, which tells you this isn't the entry point to Michigan Oaks, but rather the place people stay once they've decided the neighborhood works. Downtown is eight minutes away by car, and a transit stop sits steps from the property line, yet the subdivision still feels removed from the main drag—mature trees, quiet streets, the whole setup. Within walking distance you've got a dozen restaurants and five parks, plus Reeds Lake 1.2 miles away. It's the rare suburban pocket where you can walk to dinner or hit the highway in under ten minutes, depending on what you need that evening.
