LEELANAU COUNTRY
Leelanau County offers some of the most sought-after waterfront living in all of Northern Michigan. From the protected coves of Suttons Bay to the bold Lake Michigan shoreline in Northport, Glen Arbor, and Empire, every community has its own character, water clarity, and lifestyle. This is where sandy-bottom family beaches, quiet inland lakes, and dramatic open-water views all come together in one peninsula. Buyers exploring this region will find a mix of year-round homes, luxury retreats, and classic up-north cottages.
GRAND TRAVERSE COUNTY
Grand Traverse County is a blend of vibrant waterfront living and quiet lake escapes. The bays that surround Traverse City deliver postcard-worthy blue water, walkable neighborhoods, and easy access to shops, marinas, and dining. Move beyond the city and you’ll find inland lake hotspots like Long Lake, Spider Lake, and Arbutus Lake, each known for clear water, recreation, and strong year-round demand. It’s a county where luxury bayfront homes and classic inland-lake cabins both fit naturally.
BENZIE COUNTY
Benzie County has a relaxed, small-town feel with some of the most beautiful water in the state. Crystal Lake draws buyers who want bright blue clarity and a true up-north summer lifestyle, while Frankfort and Elberta offer Lake Michigan views, marinas, and walkable waterfront charm. Inland lakes and rivers round out the options, giving buyers everything from peaceful fishing waters to sunset-view beaches along the big lake.
