Looking for land in rolling vineyards and woodlands? Or a trip to a sun-drenched beach? A night with the blues? An evening with a prestigious world leader or prominent entertainer? An art class? A plunge into sparkling Lake Michigan? A crisp afternoon of major college football? We have one suggestion: live in Michigan's Great Southwest.

If you've never considered that Michigan's Great Southwest might be the proverbial pot of gold at the end of your rainbow, we'll give you the benefit of the doubt. After all, some might think of our part of the country as a cold, rural, "country cousin" to places like Chicago and Detroit, and other Midwestern metropolitan hot-spots, right? Well, we do enjoy beautiful winters here, and we do reside close, very close in fact, to some of the most interesting cities in the U.S. Think of Michigan's Great Southwest as a peaceful oasis, nestled next to beautiful Lake Michigan, in a bounteous fruit belt, and full of the amenities that make our region a popular resort community for people from Chicago and Detroit. Our area offers a rich cultural diversity, wonderful music and art, and all the fun of the great outdoors during every season.
