Properties here sprawl across four to thirty-five acres, with mature plantings framing houses in various states of thoughtful upkeep, and Shelby Township Community Park sitting just across the road. Lake Michigan is less than a mile away, close enough that the dunes and beaches shape how people think about weekends out here.
