Douglas MI Real Estate
Douglas might technically be a city – its official name is the City of the Village of Douglas – but with an area that’s less than two square miles and a population just over 1,000, it’s still a small town at heart. Douglas has long been a favored getaway by folks from bigger cities such as Chicago, and to this day, it has the relaxed, laidback feel of a resort town.
Located on the shores of the Kalamazoo River, just before it empties into Lake Michigan, Douglas, MI real estate is less than an hour’s drive southwest of Grand Rapids. Saugatuck Township surrounds the city and the area is known as a whole as “The Art Coast of Michigan.” Douglas and Saugatuck MI Real Estate have been attracting artists since the turn of the century and a significant percentage of the population today is made up of all kinds of creative folks who’ve gravitated to the area’s lush woodlands and scenic lake views.
While Douglas became a city only recently, it was settled in the mid-1800s and started life as a port and lumber mill town. Traces of the city’ past are still visible in the many well-preserved pieces of Douglas, MI real estate, which includes gracious old homes and historic shop-fronts in the downtown area.
Due to its lakefront location, you’ll also be able to find an eclectic collection of Douglas, MI real estate with waterfront views. Whether you’re looking for a luxury home or something cozier, you’re sure to find what you want in the area.
